Author encounters and pools

An encounter is a challenge a viewer rolls against. You set the stat it tests, how hard it is, the die, and the loot table it rewards on a win.

Encounter: storm-wraith
governing stat:   Wits
difficulty class: 14
die:              d20
loot table:       storm-cache

Put encounters in a pool

Exploration draws from a pool of encounters, each with its own weight. Give one pool the default so a plain explore has somewhere to pull from.

Exploration pool: the-tempest  (default)
encounter: storm-wraith   weight: 3
encounter: still-water    weight: 12

Or hand the fight to a flow

For anything more than a single roll, point the encounter at a flow you author instead of the built-in resolution. The flow becomes the fight, so you can add branching, messages, or multi-step logic. Wiring the RPG into flows is covered later on this track.
