I think these kinds of charts are a great idea. I don't use them myself, but that's mostly because I use purchased adventures. Still, if I ever have the time to write up my own thing, stuff like this would be a great help. Of course, my group is a bit beyond this lvl of encounter...

I wish they'd done them for Underdark and Aberrations.

D&D Miniatures
War Drums Random Encounters
By Dale Donovan




Here's a random encounter table for a 4th–level dungeon. All the creatures on the table are from the War Drums set. All the figures are commons or uncommons. If you don't have the miniatures listed here, substitute any similar figures that you do own. Use this table to generate the less important encounters in a dungeon or similar area, as a list of encounters with ELs at or near 4th level, or as a list from which to choose an encounter whenever you need one.

I have an excel spreadsheet summarizing the random encounter lists that I have found on the wizards site. Email me if you want a copy, or perhaps someone wants to permanently host it somewhere.

It includes a list for:

Harbinger (level 2)
Dragoneye (level 3)
War Drums (level 3)
Archfiends (level 4)
Giants of Legend (level 5)
Angelfire (level 6)
Deathknell (level 7)

I've not found a level 1 table. Anyone want to develop one?
