Creature encounter
A QUICK WALKTHROUGH
How to use this tool
- Choose a habitat and threat level.
- Generate behavior and a weakness for the encounter.
- Optionally include a local rumor that may or may not be true.
Build a playable encounter
The generated behavior gives players something to notice, the weakness offers a possible way through, and the rumor adds a story hook.
Folklore can be wrong
Treat the local belief as something characters have heard. Decide whether it is true, partly true, or misleading for your setting.
GOOD TO KNOW
Common questions
Does habitat affect behavior?
Yes. Each habitat and threat combination has a distinct behavior seed.
Is the folklore always accurate?
No. It is a rumor people in the setting believe, and you decide whether it is accurate.
