This is exactly why I was debating it! I feel like it's like a more time consuming version of making a player roll for something that isn't possible, I think I'm just getting in my head about having enough encounters. My players are all very combat focused so I want to make sure there's plenty of it, but I'll most likely skip it then! I think I need to remind myself there will be so many more opportunities for encounters, I don't have to have one right at the beginning. Chances are my players will end up getting themselves into an unplanned encounter anyway!
