Roll 1d6, ignoring results of 4+ for the first 2 checks.
- An encounter check is typically rolled once every other day, but the referee may choose to make more checks (ex: when near a [port](#portals) or [outpost](#outposts)), up to 1 per day (or even 1 per phase).
- The chance of encountering a wandering creature is typically 1-in-6 in the deep astral, 2-in-6 near other ports or outposts.
**Distance**: Wandering creatures are encountered 4d6 × 10 yards away. If either side is surprised (see Encounters), this is reduced to 1d4 × 10 yards.
**Location**: Astral encounters may occur either in the open astral plane or on land (such as a fragment, island, or dock), if the party lands or docks at some point during the day.
1. **Encounter**: Wandering creature, social encounter, or some other random interaction.
2. **Signs**: Indications of possible encounter nearby - could be a clue, indications of a creature nearby, etc.

2. **Signs / Portents**: Indications of possible encounter nearby - could be a clue, indications of a creature nearby, etc.
3. **Locality**: Some environmental or external event that affects the PCs - psychic storm, fragment, etc.
4. **Pilot / Ship Issue**: Pilot / power source exhaustion or some other ship complication, takes 1d6 shifts to resolve and resume travel (50% chance the ship will have to remain in dock for 1d6 phases to make additional repairs).
5. **Lose Direction**: Each phase spent moving in the wrong direction adds 1d4-1 additional phases of travel.
6. **No Complications**
**Distance**
- Astral encounters between ships usually start 1400 + (1d6 x 100) yards out (about a mile, the distance at which two ships will pull each other out of travel speed).
- Wandering creatures are encountered 4d6 × 10 yards away, and are usually not surprised by astral vessels.
- If either side is surprised (see [Encounter procedure](/rules/adventuring.html#encounter-procedure)), this is reduced to 1d4 × 10 yards.
**Location**: Astral encounters may occur either in the open astral plane or on land (such as a fragment, island, or dock), if the party lands or docks at some point during the day.
**Frequency of Check**
- In the deep astral, check once every other day (once per every 6 phases).
- Near an outpost or port (within 1-2 days travel), check once per day, or even once per phase (for busy outposts).
- In the deep astral, check once every other day (once every 6 phases, roll 1d6 to determine which phase).

### Calendar
!!!include(today.md)!!!
- Each day on the astral plane is broken up into 3 phases of 24 astral-hours (to keep the astral calendars in sync with the material planes).
- Additionally, each phase while travelling on an astral cruiser is broken up into 3 shifts.
- There are 3 shifts in a phase, 3 phases in a day, 6 days in a week, 5 weeks in a month, 3 months in a season, and 4 season in a year.

- An astral cruiser cannot travel by currents while within 1 mile of another active vessel or large astral body (like an island).
- If a cruiser comes within a mile of a large astral object while traveling. it will automatically reduce its speed to normal movement (in yards).
### Visibility
- An astral body (such as a [fragment](#fragments), island, or even a dead god) may be spotted at a distance of hundreds of miles (based on its size).
- Vesssels (and large creatures) may be sighted at great distances by the contrails they leave behind in the psychic clouds that permeate the plane.
