My players, being all fairly low level still, find themselves doing a lot of hunting to come up with food and some money. I've been pressed hard to keep coming up with ideas of what they have managed to track, so I decided to create a series of tables to help me out. I offer them here for anyone who may be interested.

| That's a good idea, especially when they get a little higher up in level. It'll make things interesting for them. |

How about adding reptiles?

How about adding reptiles?
I tried to keep the chart somewhat low to mid level, that's why I didn't add monsters like the bulette.
I had also thought of adding a 6th table for reptiles, but right now my characters are in winter in a temperate area, so the idea of them hunting reptile creatures seemed a bit illogical. But it is certainly something you could add, if you wished.
I simply offered the charts here to everyone in case others out there may find them useful. You are more then welcome to use it and alter it for your own uses. |

Just an addition for the 6th set of monsters:
6. Monsters and oddballs (not necessarily game)
Percentile Roll Animal
01-08 Bulette
09-16 Displacer Beast
17-24 Dragon, Green (change to white in winter)
25-32 Dragon, Pseudodragon
33-40 Ettin
41-48 Gargoyle
49-56 Griffon/Hippogriff
57-64 Goblin raiders (1d8 warriors and 1 shaman)
65-75 Lizardfolk hunters
76-83 Minotaur
84-91 Orc Raiders (1d20+3 warriors plus 1 shaman
92-100 Unicorn
The ranges of CR are 1 (for any of the humanoids with a class level to a maximum of 7 for the Bulette. Put the PC's at level 4, and this chart is very viable. The reason I chose green is because I figured it would be mostly forests where they would hunt. If they are in swamps, or other regions, swap as necessary.

| Pretty good there. You can also make sub-charts saying what the creature(s) is doing (grazing, resting, moving about, stationary, etc...) |

That's a pretty good idea. But I'm not a hunter myself, so I have no clue about what some of these animals may do. What other things could they do? You got grazing and moving as you already stated. I figured you could add "hunting", as some of the creatures could be hunting other animals themselves. Or you could also say they were hunting vegetation. "Sleeping" could be another action that they were doing. Anything else? |
