Enemy Location Table

ENEMY LOCATION TABLE

In theater-of-the-mind combat can get a little confusing. Without the visual aid of maps and minis to keep you grounded it is very easy to lose track of exactly where everyone is. And it is hard for players to visualize where their enemies are.

This table simplifies things a bit. When the party encounters enemies the GM will describe their relative distance as being immediate, near, or far. When specific distances are needed to help make combat decisions or decide if a spell's range will do the trick the GM can roll 1d6 on the table and give a concrete distance rather than winging it.
