I know first hand how hard it is to get something like this set up (I've got one of my own); but it does handle the treasure.I calculated the treasure separately for both character and monster, and just combined them. I figured the creature did effectively meet both aspects of the treasure delivery. An issue I faced is with monsters without the capacity for wearing/using magic items; such as a lute of binding, or bracers of nondetection. I added a field to the monsters stating whether they were humanoid (could use items) or whether they were not. This helped plan out which items to pass over. Another issue is whether monsters with 'treasure = none' should receive items for the class. Generally, those that cannot use items or were disinclined to want them, were those that had 'no treasure'. This then helps determine, if the creatures picks up a full plate armour +5, if it can wear it (and have that bonus to AC (and deduction to Dex Bonus) included in the stats.For the class, I took a look at the DMG and saw what a NPC of that level would have in gold. I then rolled through the magic item list randomly, grabbing what was came up if the character had enough gold, or discarding it if it was too expensive or not suitable. Once all the gold was used (less than 4,000), the system stopped. Then it went through and filled any gaps in armour and weapon slots that magic items hadn't filled; so if the character pulled a +2 battleaxe, but no armour, the system decides on what armour is suitable for the class and buys it. The same for clothing, misc items (like food/tents/etc). Any left over gold is added to the creatures inventory.Another option you might want to look at is; firstly saving the character to the database so others can use/save useful creations.But more importantly, one thing I had a lot of fun with was turning the creature into a zombie or vampire. It's quite simple to make the necessary changes to get your level 12 barbarion greater barghest and turn it into a vampire to give it that extra edge. My next goal is to get a druid animal shapes system sorted out. So I can simply save a players character to the system and when he chooses a shape, I can spit out the relevant stats for that shape.But I'm also part way through inserting all the magic items from the magic item compendium, and will likely do the same for the spell compendium. It just takes a lot of time/effort.Hope this helps.. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
