Should every road encounter lead to combat?
No. The table includes a mix of combat threats, social interactions, environmental events, and strange sights. Overloading travel with fights makes the journey exhausting for players rather than engaging.

Questions about this table
How do I adjust encounter difficulty for my party's level?
The entries describe situations rather than stat blocks. Choose the creatures, numbers, and consequences using the encounter guidance from your game system.
