Loot eligibility#
Excluded from ordinary encounter loot
The shared ordinary encounter-loot path excludes this source class or constant property. Banking, vendor, carried-inventory and other scripted item operations are not corpse-drop promises.
No ordinary generated supplement through the excluded encounter path.
This evaluates definite source exclusions and requested themes. It does not inspect live ownership, summoned status, corpse contents or world spawns.
- Creature is not deleted or a player.
- Creature is not summoned, controlled or bonded.
- Creature has no recorded owners.
- NoKillAwards, IsInvulnerable and Blessed must all be false at generation time.
- Ordinary loot is generated only once; existing generated gold and ordinary equipment consume that budget.
Loot and special drops#
Source calls describe requested themes, conditions and inventory. Ordinary equipment/gold are reconciled through DifficultyLoot; these calls are not additive guaranteed payouts. Runtime dispatch and conditional special rewards still apply.
Drop rules#
| Loot request | Interpretation | Condition |
|---|---|---|
| Gold: 20, 100 | Requests gold through the shared pocket-gold cap; the expression is not an additional guaranteed purse. | No condition in extracted rule |
Scripted drops and item transfers#
These operations occur in the named methods. They can describe encounter rewards, service transactions or other item transfers; they are not an unconditional corpse-drop list.
| Operation | Method | Interpretation and conditions |
|---|---|---|
| c.DropItem(new Gold(GoldOnDeath)) | OnDeath | Places a scripted item into a container: Gold. Read the source conditions and method context. if (GoldOnDeath > 0) |
Starting inventory#
| Inventory rule | Condition |
|---|---|
| EquipItem(helm) | Unconditional |
| EquipItem(new Shoes(Utility.RandomNeutralHue())) | Unconditional |
| EquipItem(new Shirt()) | Unconditional |
| EquipItem(new VikingSword()) | Unconditional |
| EquipItem(new MetalKiteShield()) | Unconditional |
| EquipItem(new PlateChest()) | Unconditional |
| EquipItem(new PlateLegs()) | Unconditional |
| EquipItem(new PlateArms()) | Unconditional |
| EquipItem(new LeatherGorget()) | Unconditional |
