Finding Treasure

The chance of finding random treasure, will be as stated in the Basic/Expert rules, with the following changes:

1. There are no electrum or platinum coins

2. All Treasure Type values listed are divided by 10

3. Magic Items are especially rare.  The only magic items to be randomly found are potions and scrolls, and even then the chance of finding these will never be more than 10%.  All other magic items, such as weapons and armour will only appear by intention design.
