Looking for random quests / events with DC checks, tables, cards or books ?


Advice


Looking for a random event line of DC checks. Example; "rogue runs by and snatched your coin purse, do you...
Roll ref 18 to dodge him?
Or Shoot him with a bow AC 15 ?
Or plead for mercy for half your gold DC 20 diplomacy.

I am not quite sure what you are seeking here. If you want a table that shows all possible responses to any given event... I don't think excel has enough cells. players can do anything they can roll for, if a rogue snatched my coin purse, my rangers pet would bite and trip him, or he might find himself with a facefull of my wizards fireball, my ninja might stealth and steal everything of value he has on him before he makes it to the end of the street. And of course my bard would charm him, take her back to his place, then he would sleep while I ransacked his home =p

It seems what you need more is cards for NPC's, with saves, defenses, personality quirks, and physical identifiers more. That way you may respond to anything the players do, instead of railroading them into specific responses for non-story dependent events (I assume).

This site - NPC List - is a good resource for pre-generated NPC's with all their stats and equipment, as well as some tactical considerations, easy enough to modify for your games needs.

I've not seen something specifically about random encounters, but Paizo does make the Chase Decks and the Social Combat Deck that are along those lines.

Chase Cards
Chase Cards 2: Hot Pursuit
Social Combat Cards


I'm kind of looking for both, the chase cards are great I just wish they were more detail to them. I am trying to railroad the players because we like random but we want story/gameplay to move along faster.
