random encounters on the ethereal plane.


Rules Questions


How often do you roll for random encounters on the ethereal plane and what is the percentage chance of an encounter occurring?

I am considering giving my cohort a suit of armor with the etherealness property. The cohort will go ethereal in the morning and follow his leader until the evening. I am trying to decide how dangerous this is for my cohort.

The prd gives us this when exploring which is to be rolled once a day.

50% chance of no encounter
10% chance of hazard
40% chance of monster(s)

It's up to the gm if they want to adjust the numbers based off other events that are occuring in the area.

I usually roll on the table twice, once for the day while exploring, and once during camp, but I reduce the chance of monster to 10% at night and add in a 30% chance of an insignificant event such as strange noises, wild non-hostile animal, strange dreams, etc etc.

Hope that helps.
