PF2e Random Encounter Generator

The party wandered somewhere you did not prep. Pick a party level, size, and difficulty, and you get four Pathfinder 2e random encounters that all land on the correct XP budget. Roll a d4 between them for an instant random encounter table, or re-roll any single card until one fits the region you are in.

How Random Encounter Generation Works

The generator picks random groups of 2–6 creatures at various level differences, then filters for combinations whose total XP lands within 25% of your target budget. Each card shows the creature levels, XP contribution, and actual difficulty badge.

Use the Re-roll button on any card to swap just that composition, or Re-roll All for a completely fresh set. Want to fine-tune the result? Take a composition to the encounter calculator to adjust individual creatures.
