[QUOTE="Tortoise, post: 5823629, member: 146"] Essenti you make a good point and if I was being rash then please accept my apology. It is simply coming from a background where I have dealt with deliberate point dodgers a bit too frequently not to take that style of post that way. When DMing I will often create my own random encounter/event tables to help flavor an area the way I think it should represent itself. I'm also not against using presented tables from a module or the rule book to give me ideas. A DM that just uses everything at face value isn't using their noggin to run a good game for their players. Thus my example about the two tables for a choice giving me the werewolf or halfling options and me deciding combat wasn't the purpose of the roll. Just because I decided on halflings instead of werewolf didn't mean the halflings would be attacking the party. A creative DM call based on what the random roll offered up. [/QUOTE]
