They're still limited by the capacity of their backpack and carried pouches.The outlander is only able to locate food and water if the land provides such things, and if they're focused on foraging then they're not able to focus on noticing threats (unless they're also a ranger). The less eyes you have focused on looking for danger, the higher the chances that you're surprised in an encounter.I support this! I think what I'm saying is that there doesn't need to be an additional system for this.The Dungeon Master's Guide states that "random encounter tables present obstacles and events that advance the plot, foreshadow important elements or themes of the adventure, and provide fun distractions." The example random encounter table includes "an ivy-covered statue of an elven deity or hero" and "an elven tune carried on a gentle breeze" as possible encounters.</blockquote>
