TreasureHoardRoller

A python script to automate the process of rolling on any combination of the Treasure Hoard tables in the 5e D&D DMG.

I've tested and run this script with python 3.6.1. It does not work with python 2.7. I have no comment on other python 3 versions.

Usage

usage: TreasureHoardRoller.py [-h] [-a TABLE_ONE] [-b TABLE_TWO] 
                                   [-c TABLE_THREE] [-d TABLE_FOUR]

Roll on the 5e Treasure Hoard tables. Any combination of rolls is 
allowed. The Total Value calculation uses the following values.
  common: 75gp
  uncommon: 300gp
  rare: 2750gp
  very rare: 27500gp
  legendary: 275000gp

optional arguments:
  -h, --help
    show this help message and exit
  -a TABLE_ONE, --table-one TABLE_ONE
    The number of rolls to make on the table for CR 0-4
  -b TABLE_TWO, --table-two TABLE_TWO
    The number of rolls to make on the table for CR 5-10
  -c TABLE_THREE, --table-three TABLE_THREE
    The number of rolls to make on the table for CR 11-16
  -d TABLE_FOUR, --table-four TABLE_FOUR
    The number of rolls to make on the table for CR 17+

Homebrew

This script can support homebrewed items. Adding or removing items in the tables in magicitems.py and mundaneitems.py is supported. You may either add the item at the top level of the table or you may add it to an interior list. The former will make all other top-level items slightly less likely to be rolled. The latter will only affect the probability of the other items in that interior list.

If you add an item to magicitems.py or mundaneitems.py, you must also add it to the corresponding <>mappings.py file and include the expected qualities. Right now, the only expected qualities are rarity for magic items and price category for mundane items.

The hoard tables themselves can also be altered if you would like to change the odds at which gems, arts, magics, etc are dropped.

Further Work

The values in the qualities dictionary in magicmappings.py and in mundanemappings.py are lists. Right now, the lists only have 1 element, the rarity or price category. Other elements in these lists could be used to store item descriptions or other qualities. I have no current plans to add any other qualities to the lists.

I may explore homebrewed coins.

I'm open to other ideas as well.
