Random battles that come in clumps right after the last one, or never at all

A flat chance every step produces two fights in a row and then a long peaceful stretch, and players feel the game is either mean or broken. Counting steps instead of time matters too. Here is how to give a breather after a battle, let the danger build, and guarantee an end to the calm.

Why this works

A flat chance every step produces clumps and droughts, because chance has no memory. A calm start that grows toward a limit makes fights feel like a rhythm, and a guaranteed ceiling means a player never waits forever.

When not to use it

Skip it when fights should be visible on the map and avoidable, or when the world is a place to explore without being pulled into battle. Players then resent a hidden counter; put enemies on the field and let the player choose.
