 Encounters by Kingdom

Using these Tables

When using these tables remember to take into account that players only gain XP from gifts received for missions accomplished and these tables add challenge without reward. It is probably best not to roll at regular intervals, as you might with standard wilderness exploration, but instead, use the encounters to add complications or slow the players down if they’re steaming through a mission too easily or you need to fill out a session with some extra, or unexpected, adventure.
