Generation

Living lecterns are not randomly generated, and normally-created living lecterns are always hostile. Living lecterns always generate with 50 HP.

A living lectern is guaranteed to appear in the ruined library of the Lost Cities within the Neutrality Quest, with a ¹⁄₄ chance of a second one being generated. Waterlogged libraries generate one to four living lecterns at level creation.

Living lecterns drop 2-6 clubs and a random spellbook upon death in place of a corpse.
