This macro and table automate D&D 5e style wandering monster encounters. The macro will roll to see if the encounter happens, and, if it does, roll to lookup what kind of encounter from a specified Maptool table. The Macro can be reused with any table. You can even embed the number of monsters in the table!

Example output when this macro is run:

jimshank: You thought you heard something but trouble passes you by

jimshank: You've spent too long in the area and encountered 6 stirges!!

Macro


[h, if(1d20>16), CODE:{
[output = "You've spent too long in the area and encountered <b>" + eval(table("Wandering Moster - Wave Echo Cave")) + "!!</b>"]
};{
[output = "You thought you heard something but trouble passes you by"]
}]
[r: output]
