Random encounter tables...


Pathfinder First Edition General Discussion


Hello, I'm wondering if anyone has compiled a 'basic' random encounter table that includes the basic creatures?

Basically I'm looking for all the creatures in the Bestiary 1 sorted into both their CR and their usual habitat. I'm away they are already separated into both of these separately (there is a list for them by habitat and a separate list for them by CR) but before I combine the two I thought I'd check if someone else has.

Failing that, is there any 'bland' random encounters tables setup and available on the website? I have my own ideas I'd like to add to a random encounter table so I don't necessarily want a complete one - just one with the basics so I can stick to just adding the 'fun stuff'.

If this doesn’t exist, should I perhaps post up what I create so others can go over it? Is there a player made section of this website where such a thing could eventually be added up for people like me?

P.S very new to pathfinder (incase that isn't obvious!), I only just purchased all the pdfs last night. Thanks for any help, I'm sure I'll be back for more discussion!

The Gamemastery Guide and the two Bestiaries are what you'd want to look at; also you can check out the PRD.

Thanks, I found some stuff but ... nothing all that helpful unfortunately. Cross referencing everything from the bestiary should do what I want, for example:

Temperate forest, CR1 creatures:
then I'll list themall

Temperate forest, CR2 creatures:
...

And so on. I can build random encounters from this I think.

Could also go to the d20pfsrd.com Monster database and filter on the environment column.
