[purge]

Helper Template for formatting encounter tables. This automatically calculates chance provided weights. It takes one named parameter:

Parameters

Parameter	Description
roll	indicates how weight will be calculated. once (default) will calculate chance by the total sum of weights as if rolling from the table only once. each will calculate chance as if rolling for each item down the list (weight/100).

Row Parameters

Each unnamed argument is one row, represented by {{EncounterTable/Row}}. It has four named arguments, but two are exclusive to each other.

Parameter	Description
item	the item, also referred to as the "Blueprint". will be auto linked. Cannot be used if table is specified.
table	if the item is chosen from another table, use this instead. Cannot be used if item is specified.
quantity	How many of the item there are. This automatically calls Template:Dice tooltip, meaning that an average (with a min and max) will be displayed on hover if the quantity is a range (1-3) or a dice roll (2d3+1).
weight	the weight that the item has to show up. In xml, this is referred to as "Chance".

{{EncounterTable|roll=once
|{{EncounterTable/Row|table=Junk 0C|weight=95}}
|{{EncounterTable/Row|table=Junk 0R|weight=5}}
|{{EncounterTable/Row|item=torch|quantity=2d3|weight=10}}
|{{EncounterTable/Row|item=copper nugget|quantity=4d3|weight=10}}
}}
