Random Encounters 5E is designed to allow the Dungeon Master to quickly generate encounters for an adventure, whether that is a wandering monster they come across in the Underdark, a series of encounters for a desert adventure or even filling a cave up with orcs, ogres and hill giants, which makes it a great D&D app for any DMs toolset.

ORGANIZE YOUR ADVENTURES ENCOUNTERS and TREASURE

The ability to save up to 16 encounters means a DM can plan out an adventure, using the generator to help seed encounters. The DM can even edit the encounter and add new creatures (even custom ones) to the mix. The combat aid will even help keep track of initiative and combat.

Random Encounters 5E can also generate random treasure from an individuals treasure, a bosss prized possessions or even a whole treasure horde. The treasure generator can also roll up random scrolls, potions, weapons, armor or miscellaneous magic items.

INCLUDES TOME OF FOES AND THE GUIDE TO MONSTERS

Random Encounters includes two additional monster manuals as optional settings. This provides plenty of variety in the type of encounters that can be generated while allowing you to tailor the encounters to the source books you own.

* Spice up your campaign by adding quick encounters while exploring swamps, deserts, volcanic mountains or the arctic tundra.
* Flexible wandering monsters lets you quickly roll up appropriate creatures for the Underdark or target a particular type of monsters such as an undead wandering encounter for a crypt.
