Difficulty notes#

  • Freshly constructed ordinary wild creature; no paragon conversion, control/summon scaling, equipped/stat offsets, spell effects or special runtime transformations. Endless Journey expansion branches assumed. Missing skill/resistance assignments use zero. Numeric interval endpoints may not co-occur.

Loot eligibility#

Natural loot: no ordinary gold or equipment

The shared budget does not generate ordinary treasure gold or equipment for this natural-loot family. Harvest inputs and permitted separately scripted items remain separate.

Only a requested gem supplement remains eligible; natural loot suppresses generated potion and scroll supplements.

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.
