D&D Miniatures |
 |
Here's a random encounter table for a 5th-level dungeon. All the creatures on the table are from the Desert of Desolation set. If you don't have the miniatures listed here, substitute any figures of a similar CR that you do own. Use this table to generate the less important encounters in a dungeon or other encounter area, as a list of encounters with ELs at or near 5th level, or as a list from which to choose an encounter whenever you need one.
