Loot Tables
Brutal Campaign-Inspired Reward System
"Fortune favors the bold. The dead favor no one."
✦
Loot Design Philosophy
Loot is scarce (forces choices), thematic (reflects where/what you killed), random (dice determine fate), and impactful (rare loot can change campaigns). This system emphasizes risk/reward: higher difficulty missions yield better rewards, but come with greater danger.
