Frontiers - Balance Of Powers: A5E

These are the borders where settled lands meet the untamed wilds; a last familiar place before plunging into the unknown. These regions are characterised by their great expanse, wide vistas and big skies; often swampy or dusty, they are shaped by the other regions they stand between. Humans are commonly found on frontiers as they spread out and explore, but a variety of peoples seek a fresh start or a new life on the edge of society, though nature pushes back against any attempt to control it. Settlements here are new, laws are loosely-enforced if they exist at all, and the people here will fight to preserve their freedom. - **Terrains.** Swamps, deserts, hills, badlands The following attributes will vary depending on the terrain type: - **Tiers.** - **Region-specific attributes.** - **Journey Activities.** For activity requirements, a Frontier never counts as a populated area outside of a settlement. | Attribute | Result | | ------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------- | | [[Frontiers UJ#Weather\|Weather]] | `dice:[[Frontiers UJ#^59f894]]` | | [[Frontiers UJ#Flora and Fauna\|Flora and Fauna]] | `dice:[[Frontiers UJ#^8ced97]]` | | [[Frontiers UJ#Local Inhabitants\|Local Inhabitants]] | `dice:[[Frontiers UJ#^ae919d]]` | | [[Frontiers UJ#Points of Interest\|Points of Interest]] | `dice:[[Frontiers UJ#^296e44]]` | | [[Frontiers UJ#Possible Journeys\|Possible Journeys]] | `dice:[[Frontiers UJ#^53a577]]` | # Encounter Type >[!note] Remember to note [[Journey Rewards]] while this is fresh in your mind! | d12 | Frontiers Result | | --- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | 1 | *Encounter Type:* [[A Chance Meeting]] *Encounter Type DM:* [[Encounter Types#A Chance Meeting]] `dice:[[Frontiers UJ#^5ce429]]` | | 2 | *Encounter Type:* [[Hidden Reserves]] *Encounter Type DM:* [[Encounter Types#Hidden Reserves]] `dice:[[Frontiers UJ#^9f0e66]]` | | 3 | *Encounter Type:* [[A Bump in the Road]] *Encounter Type DM:* [[Encounter Types#A Bump in the Road]] `dice:[[Frontiers UJ#^b4d486]]` | | 4 | *Encounter Type:* [[Needing Assistance]] *Encounter Type DM:* [[Encounter Types#Needing Assistance]] `dice:[[Frontiers UJ#^d40033]]` | | 5 | *Encounter Type:* [[Danger Afoot]] *Encounter Type DM:* [[Encounter Types#Danger Afoot]] `dice:[[Frontiers UJ#^0fcff1]]` | | 6 | *Encounter Type:* [[Natural Wonders]] *Encounter Type DM:* [[Encounter Types#Natural Wonders]] `dice:[[Frontiers UJ#^ab8ac9]]` | | 7 | *Encounter Type:* [[Monster Hunt]] *Encounter Type DM:* [[Encounter Types#Monster Hunt]] `dice:[[Frontiers UJ#^18f103]]` | | 8 | *Encounter Type:* [[A Place to Rest]] *Encounter Type DM:* [[Encounter Types#A Place to Rest]] `dice:[[Frontiers UJ#^19acb2]]` | | 9 | *Encounter Type:* [[Old Memories]] *Encounter Type DM:* [[Encounter Types#Old Memories]] `dice:[[Frontiers UJ#^331381]]` | | 10 | *Encounter Type:* [[A Dark Place]] *Encounter Type DM:* [[Encounter Types#A Dark Place]] `dice:[[Frontiers UJ#^32c7c3]]` | | 11 | *Encounter Type:* [[Deadly Fight]] *Encounter Type DM:* [[Encounter Types#Deadly Fight]] `dice:[[Frontiers UJ#^e1a055]]` | | 12 | *Encounter Type:* [[Fateful Encounter]] *Encounter Type DM:* [[Encounter Types#Fateful Encounter]] `dice:[[Frontiers UJ#^3650d1]]` | ^f0ab16 # Folks Along the Way ## Setting the Scene #### Time of Day `dice:[[Setting the Scene#^af2e68]]` #### Location `dice:[[Setting the Scene#^c97bba]]` #### Heritage `dice: [[Encounter NPCs#^995fda]]` #### Age `dice:[[Encounter NPCs#^3f578d]]` #### Demeanor `dice:[[Encounter NPCs#^fed54c]]` #### Purpose `dice:[[Encounter NPCs#^7b1b7d]]` ## Other Considerations #### Group size `dice:[[Other Considerations#^187190]]` #### Length of Time `dice:[[Other Considerations#^75fda5]]` #### Status `dice:[[Other Considerations#^647773]]` #### Fortune `dice:[[Other Considerations#^beff7c]]` #### Exchange `dice:[[Other Considerations#^6bb7b8]]` #### Expectations `dice:[[Other Considerations#^4edda1]]` #### Mission `dice:[[Other Considerations#^3f55ad]]` #### Emotion `dice:[[Other Considerations#^3cf440]]` #### Context `dice:[[Other Considerations#^a4b05b]]` #### Tone `dice:[[Other Considerations#^8280af]]` #### Impact `dice:[[Other Considerations#^72fbe4]]`
