[QUOTE="Jasperak, post: 5182683, member: 2487"] BTW, one of the reasons I have the chance for encounter so high is because this is for a wilderness hex crawl and I think it is more fun to have more encounters. The percentages seem to set one random encounter per day regardless of terrain (6 grassland [1 in 6 x6, 4 forest/hills [2 in 6 x 4], or 2 mountain [3 in 6 x2]) and with the number of hexes (255) I figure it would take two to three game months to explore not counting when the PCs find any set pieces nor returning to base to rest. That would be an average of 60-90 encounters by the time the entire 2,300 square mile area is explored. Just exploring will net the PC's about five experience levels. The difference between my way and most of the other books is that my encounter lists include more chances for possible non-combat encounters. There are alot of chances to find normal creatures (for food) and people (for interaction) to deal with as the PCs see fit. [/QUOTE]
