    Very well, I accomplished the randomization program for Robe of Vecna. I guess you don't want to know even the list of possible recipients of the robe. Hence, I will not say anything.

    What about the following items? Is any of them worth considering for the randomization program?

    - Aeger's Hide
    - Armor of the Hart
    - Girdle of Hill Giant Strength
    - Girdle of Frost Giant Strength
    - Belt of Inertial Barrier
    - Tansheron's Short Bow +3
    - Fortress Shield +3
    - Shield of Harmony
    - Short sword of Mask +4
    - Sling of Everard
    - Rod of Smiting
    - Staff of Rynn
    - Blade of Roses
    - Foebane +3
    - Scarlet Ninja-to

    Do we need a new poll (with multiple voting options)?

    What about the Bracers of Dexterity Marceror mentioned? What about the elements that allow you to make the extra good weapons like Crom Fayr, the Equalizer, etc.
    Just suggestions. By the way good point not giving us the list of NPCs... Just wondering if these NPCs are going to measure up and if the party will have to indulge in senseless slaughter to get them (by senseless I mean not justified from a RPing point of view, not NPC you would have to slaughter anyway).

    This flail - Defender of Eastheaven (?) is also randomizable - I think.

    @Shaitan
    The flail is already removed from the shop in my local version of the mod (the forthcoming v4.0) and is with a very tough enemy. But yes, I can randomize it as well, if needed.

    I guess I will start a new poll with giving the voters the option to vote for as many options as they want. Then, I will pick a few of the items which have the most votes and will randomize their locations.

    @Caradhras
    Yes, I had in mind the point you mentioned. I didn't pick creatures whose killing may be considered as an evil behavior.

    Bracers of Dexterity is already heavily guarded in IA v3.0. I prefer to concentrate on randomizing the locations of items which are too easily available in shops.

    This all sounds promising to me. I would caution not to remove all powerful magical items from shops in Athkatla. In a city as large and prominent as this, you'd expect to find some gems-- though such items are not likely to be cheap.
