=====DANGER RATING=====

Danger Rating is used to mark the HD totals of the typical encounter in the area, and the likely amount of treasure to be discovered.

(First guess--honestly, encounter size is roughly equal to total party HD estimate, complete guess on treasure)

^DANGER RATING^Total HD in typical Encounter^Typical Treasure per Encounter^Party Size^
|DR-1|5 (1d6+2)|50gp|4-5 first level guys|
|DR-2|12 (3d6+1)|150gp|2nd-3rd level, some retainers|
|DR-3|24 (6d6+3)  |400gp|4th-5th level with retainers|
|DR-4|36 (9d6+4)|800gp|6th-7th level with retainers|
|DR-5|50 (12d6+8)|1500gp|8th-9th level with retainers|
|DR-H| varies|varies|varies|

DR-H means there is a functioning human society at the site and the encounters and treasure depend on politics and economics.  You can expect most enemies to have 1-2 HD, with 3-4 reasonably common as well.  Occasional 5-9 HD enemies might be seen.
