Any monster capable of wielding weapons has a chance of being generated with a random offensive item, which might be an offensive wand, potion or scroll. An eligible monster will be given an offensive item if its level equals or exceeds the roll of a d75.[1]
The following monster types are specifically ineligible for offensive items, even though they can wield weapons:
- Ettins (animal)
- Skeletons (mindless)
- Iron golems (mindless)
- Keystone Kops of any rank
If the monster difficulty is 8 or higher, there is a 1/35 chance that the item will be a wand of death. Otherwise, a die is rolled according to the monster's difficulty:[2]
| Difficulty | Roll |
|---|---|
| 3 or less | d8 |
| 4–6 | d9 |
| 7 or more | d13 |
The result of this die roll is given by the following table:
| Roll | Outcome |
|---|---|
| 1 | Scroll of earth[3] |
| 2 | Wand of striking |
| 3 | Potion of acid |
| 4 | Potion of confusion |
| 5 | Potion of blindness |
| 6 | Potion of sleeping |
| 7 | Potion of paralysis |
| 8–9 | Wand of magic missile |
| 10 | Wand of sleep |
| 11 | Wand of fire |
| 12 | Wand of cold |
| 13 | Wand of lightning |
