disable random encounters

[Pec]

They have become very annoying as in im getting one every 2 seconds when i move on the world map

I cant find anything to reduce the frequency.

Anyone know of a solution

assign someone with very high stealth to the "camoflage" position in the camping screen. Their stealth is checked for random encounters, and if high enough you can skip random encounters.

High Stealth skill to avoid them.

Note that you do not actually need to rest. Just access the camp screen and assign characters then exit the screen. You will need to redo this if the character you assigned is removed from the party but not just for resting at base (unless you take that character and assign to one of the 4 slots open when resting at base).

One should note that the slots have different effects during travel than during rest so it can be helpful to open the rest window and set them up differently before starting to move on the overworld map.
If i remember right :
Ritual helps with traveling longer without getting tired.

Stealth gives the option to skip random encounters (or if you do them start from hidden state/supriseround)

The 2 Guard Slots give you Perception to detect hidden objects on the overworld map from a higher distance (and i heard it increases the chance for benefitial random encounters like traders but i'm not sure about that)

and the two Crafting slots (alchemy/scrollscribe) can increase the loot you gain from those loot nodes.

This helped thx.

Extra exp tho

Direct solution: Increase party stealth/dex.
Indirect solutions:

Unequip armor/shields while traveling, to avoid armor check penalties (risky, depends how screwed you are in penalties).

Increase party Str because it increases carry weight, affects encumbrance penalties.

Don't travel with medium or heavy load, if it can be avoided, as those two penalize your skills (and movement speed and max Dex to AC).

Like, in example, if a character has tower shields, full plate and heavy load, they should be -22 to their stealth check (-10 tower shield, -6 heavy load, & -6 full plate). Unclear if the game uses an average stealth, the best member's roll, or the worst member's roll.

If kingmaker is any basis, I believe the random encounter checks are between 10 and 37 (before difficulty settings), which means between 32 and 59 with tower shield, heavy load, and full plate.....

Quicken metamagic rods help big time for these too because you can cast haste or other buffs right away.
