Line 10:
 
== [[Tabletop Games]] ==
* ''[[Dungeons and& Dragons]]'': over the years there have been a number of magic items that increase the chance of [[Random Encounters]]. However, these are usually considered cursed items because randomly encountered monsters usually have less treasure than normal and the resulting fights either (a) just wear down the [[PC]] party for no gain or (b) interfere in the party's current mission.
 
== [[Video Games]] ==
Line 20:
* In ''[[Red Dead Redemption]]'', you may use bait to attract wild animals.
* In ''[[Nethack]]'' you can use the Create Monster spell to create a hostile random monster to kill. However, only wizards who have the wizard quest artifact regenerate [[Mana]] quickly enough to make casting this spell over and over and over a viable tactic.
* The GBA version of ''[[Final Fantasy V]]'' has the Lure ability for Gladiators.
* ''[[Final Fantasy VII]]'' has a monster bait materia.
* The "Whistle" skill in ''[[Dragon Quest]]'' games always starts a battle.
