Creating Your Own Random Encounter Tables
The random encounter charts at the beginning of this section utilize
a
small selection of the 800+ monsters listed in the combined MONSTER
MANUALS I and II
and FIEND FOLIO.
These charts are designed for
general USE in campaign settings and as a guide for DMs in creating
their own charts.
The following method of creating charts is based on the sum of 1 d8
and 1 d12, producing a range from 2-20 with a large flat spot of
equal probability in the 9-13 range. Those desiring "unique" creatures
