RNDWEP.2da is one of several 2da tables that determine which random treasure may be given as a reward for quests or found on creatures or at locations where random treasure is intended to be obtained.
It categorizes the treasure roughly by item values. Each of these categories is referred to by a placeholder "item" of the name "RNDWEPx#"; these placeholders could be actual item files – which in this case do not exist – or virtual entries in other random treasure tables, scripts or dialog files. Though it is contained in the code of Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition and even modified for Siege of Dragonspear, it is actually only referenced by RNDMAGIC.2da in Baldur's Gate II.
Mechanics[]
At the time the connected game content is "created" – by entering the related area, loading a savegame, or if a creature (re-)spawns through certain conditions –, 1d20 is rolled. The roll determines the table column to look in, while the row is defined by the "#" from the placeholder. The result of this is the item to be found.
Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition[]
The table from the original Baldur's Gate II is imported into the game files of Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition, however with one shield swapped for another. It is the same as the version from Baldur's Gate II: Enhanced Edition, but remains unused in the series' first part. See below for the table.
Siege of Dragonspear[]
With the installation of Siege of Dragonspear on top of Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition, the table is overwritten, and two items are replaced. Still, it remains unused by the game for determining random treasure, and is presented here only for documentation purposes.
