What has it got in it's pockets?

Post by Simetradon »

So, while setting up a Warhammer 2nd Edition campaign, I wanted to create a collection of things that can be found within the pockets and pouches of various humanoids. Anyone familiar with the game knows that magic items are rare and far in between, and thus I was looking to create a list of simple items. That is where your contributions come in. I'm currently making a macro which will ask how many humanoids there were, run some variables, and spit out some coins along with the treasure... of course I'll share the macro once I have it in working order.

Thus far I have the following, but I'm always looking for more:

a pair of leather gloves,

a pair of cloth gloves,

a red silk handkerchief smelling faintly of jasmine,

a simple cloth scarf,

a small wheel of hard cheese,

a piece of hard jerky,

a metal flask of spirits,

an empty wineskin,

a wineskin half full of honey mead,

a single candle,

three candles,

a dozen long matches,

an untreated torch,

two untreated torches,

three untreated torches,

a fish hook,

a small hammer,

a set of lock picks,

a roll of rough twine,

a whetstone,

a clove of garlic,

a necklace made of wooden beads,

a set of dice made of bone,

a bronze bracelet,

a bronze torc,

a silver bracelet,

a necklace made of bone beads,

a piece of agate,

a polished chunk of amber,

a faceted piece of lapis lazuli,

an obsidian dagger,

a piece of clear quartz,

a steel arrow head,

a dozen feathers,

an iron ring,

a small lead figure of a knight,

a wooden eye,

a horn with brass inlays,

a small shaving razor,

a chess piece carved from soapstone,

a small brass locket with a painting of a woman inside,

a silver earring,

a small wooden box filled with pepper,

a small brass toy spinning top,

a rough wooden figure of a small donkey,

a wooden comb,

a lock of blonde hair tied with a purple ribbon,

a small lodestone,

a lucky rabbit's foot,

a small metal mirror,

a brass bowl,

a wooden tankard,

a brass tankard,

a simple quill and a metal vial of black ink,

a wooden flute,

a large tooth from an unknown creature,

a bent horseshoe,

a small leather drum,

two pieces of chalk,

four pieces of chalk,

a small fur pouch,

an iron chisel,

a small bundle of onions,

a snarl of lint and fur

a silver/iron/brass key

a hardened ball of chicle (the original chewing gum) stuck to XXXX (you will need a "What's stuck to the chicle?" macro to resolve this one)

a small box of snuff

a fold of parchment with an important message (you will need a "What's on the parchment?" macro to resolve this one)

a hole where something very valuable most likely escaped

a shaker of assorted spices (you will need a "What spice is in the shaker?" macro to resolve this one)

a lucky kobold's foot

a seashell and some sand,

the crumbled remains of a broken whetstone,

a pack of tarot cards, with bent corners and missing Fortune,

five wooden buttons,

a glass marble, painted red,

a corn dolly,

the handle of a pewter mug,

eight nails, bent and used,

a cracked shaving mirror,

three "skipping stones",

a bird feather, chewed.

--------------------------------

The "hole" content is by far the most common, and funny.

You might be better of with Wiki: listGet() and Wiki: listCount()

PocketItems="a flute, a pendulum, a hole, etc"
Result=Roll(1,listCount(list))
YouFind=ListGet(pocketItems,result)

This way you don't have to make seperate entries, you can keep on adding items without the requirement to count them.

Note I'm typing this mobile so the capitals of the words are off.

If you want to retrieve multiple items without duplicates you'll need to check out json arrays. Works similarly as lists but you can use json.shuffle(itemList) and then json.get(itemList,0) and json.remove(itemList,0) rinse and repeat. To create an array of the list simply use json.fromList(ItemList)

O and you're using while, it's a lot is simpler to use Wiki: count()

edit, so:
so

Code: Select all

[pocketItems    = "a flute, a pendulum, a hole, etc"]
[pocketItems    = json.fromList(pocketItems)]
[pocketItems    = json.shuffle([pocketItems)]

[count(1d4), CODE:{
    [found            = json.get(pocketItems,0)]
    [pocketItems    = json.remove(itemList,0) 
}]
