First roll on Table C to see if there is an Encounter:
|
Table C: % chance of encounter corresponding location on Real Plane: |
Ethereal Plane: Table E |
Astral Plane: Table A |
| War / Security Zones | 8% / hour | 6% / hour |
|
Dungeons of Mt Anar |
4% / hour | 3% / hour |
| inhabited areas | 3% / hour | 2% / hour |
|
uninhabited areas |
2% / hour | 1% / hour |
| Spell Casting * | 1% / Cast | 1% / Cast |
* The Spell Casting encounter chance is rolled every time someone Casts a Spell whilst on the Ethereal or Astral (in addition to hourly checks), or Casts a Spell from another Plane onto the Ethereal or Astral (including Position Spells). If Planewatch, See Astral or See Ethereal are Cast, no Spell Casting encounter chance is rolled, but the appropriate hourly checks are made for each Plane observed, to see what is passing. Staring at something passing may attract its attention...
If an Encounter is rolled, determine its type on the appropriate Table below. Note some encounters may be with things on the Real Plane which are able to interact with the Ethereal or Astral Planes (e.g. basilisks).
