Wandering Monster table

[Myrdin Potter]

I must be getting senile or slow or something.

I have a table I am trying to convert. d20, 1-5 is a different wandering monster, 6-20 is nothing.

Each wandering monster is a random number (between 1-6 in most cases) of a specific monster.

So I create 5 random encounters with the right npc and dice in each.

For entries with no encounter, I just type the work "none".

Set output to encounter and drag the link for each of the new encounters I have made for items 1-5.

When I roll 6-20, a blank encounter comes up.

When I roll 1-5, a blank encounter also comes up.

What am I doing wrong?

Don’t set the output to encounter, set it to chat and your encounter will output a link which you can click on to open it, or state none as rolled.

Have your encounter entries in the table as [1d6x] (or whatever the value is) and drag the NPC (not the Random Encounter) link to the row.

It won't stop an encounter being made for the empty (none) entries. But it will create the encounter entries for the ones with NPC records linked.

If you don't want the empty encounters coming up then you can try this:

• Create the various "Random Encounter" Fantasy Grounds records as required.
• Create a new table with output to chat
• Create the record rows, drag the random encounter records previously created to the relevant rows.

To use: roll on the table. If an encounter comes up the link to the Random Encounter record will be in the chat window. Click the link to open the random encounter record, then click the "Generate" button to make the actual encounter.

Or make one table with the percentage chance of a monster or no monster and if a monster, roll on a new table (automatically) that just has the monsters in it?

Yeah, you could do that. Whatever works for you.

I did it like this, Yes it generates an error but it doesnt generate a blank encounter
