If a weights sequence is specified, selections are made according to therelative weights. Alternatively, if a cum_weights sequence is given, theselections are made according to the cumulative weights (perhaps computedusing itertools.accumulate()). For example, the relative weights[10, 5, 30, 5] are equivalent to the cumulative weights[10, 15, 45, 50]. Internally, the relative weights are converted tocumulative weights before making selections, so supplying the cumulativeweights saves work. This is roughly equivalent to choice(range(start, stop, step)) butsupports arbitrarily large ranges and is optimized for common cases. State should have been obtained from a previous call to getstate(), andsetstate() restores the internal state of the generator to what it was atthe time getstate() was called.

In this case, additional random item design rewards have no effect. Whenever a "Random Item Design" is listed as the reward when looting a treasure tile, the looting player should draw a card from the random item design deck. Michael Michalko shares the random object creativity technique for generating relevant ideas to inspire creativity and enhance connective thoughts. The random object creativity technique generates an almost infinite source of new patterns to react with the old patterns in your mind. RANDBETWEEN function returns an integer number between given lower and upper limits.

It’s also cheaper thana fully fledged database for storage heavy use cases. It does however offer less query flexibility thandatabases like DynamoDB. Here’s an example which expands on the fully random item picker example with categories. Many use cases are not fully random, but require some kind of categorization.An example for this is a quiz, where we have the three difficulties ['easy', 'medium', 'difficult'].

General descriptions include notes on activation, random item generator generation, and other material. The AC, hardness, hit points, and break DC are given for typical examples of some magic items. The AC assumes that the item is unattended and includes a –5 penalty for the item’s effective Dexterity of 0. If a creature holds the item, use the creature’s Dexterity modifier in place of the –5 penalty. If you are using animal companions or familiars from another source, you can use the information in this table as a guideline for those creatures. Additionally, GMs may use this table as a guide to determine what kinds of magical gear non-humanoid monsters can wear and use.

Gourmand recovers energy when all controls are released, and recovers significantly faster if crouched. It is easier for Gourmand to enter and remain in an exhausted state when near predators, in rare cases being triggered only by throwing a Rock. The food tracker is found above Gourmand's food bar and shows any items they have eaten so far as well as a flashing icon of the next suggested food, though foods may be eaten in any order.

The Traveling Cart is a shop that appears south of The Farm in Cindersap Forest on Fridays and Sundays, closing at 8pm. It also appears each day of the Night Market (Winter 15-17) and each day of the Desert Festival (Spring 15-17). Stock changes each day the Traveling Merchant appears. The merchant will sell a selection of ten random items in limited quantities (1 or 5 of each) as "standard stock", plus one piece of furniture at any one time. There may be an additional "special stock" item for sale as well. As you can see, the Collection class allows you to chain its methods to perform fluent mapping and reducing of the underlying array.
