For my new game, I needed a random encounter table for the forest. After much labor intensive research into the Pathfinder Bestiaries, I have come up, with what I think, is a passable table for generating random forest encounters. I present it to the interwebs for general consumption. All monsters on this list are from the Pathfinder Bestiaries 1,2,&3 Enjoy!
