Does your mod use GrimTK?

How do you plan to add PCs later?

How should the mod handle multiple PC?—just delete at random? Delete after the first? Store their extra PCs for later recruitment?

As for the loot... If you create a loot table to dynamically spawn loot, you can use the skill level to select from higher and lower quality loot. Alternatively (and I think perhaps better), you can use the skill to modify new loot when it is first picked up, or acquired. For example, if the player finds a common dagger, the dagger could be examined on the mouse cursor, or when added into inventory, then destroyed, with the improved item immediately spawned as replacement.

How do you plan to add PCs later?

I haven't planned it all out yet, but it will probably be a mercenary or something in a tavern

Sorry I don't know much about scripting at all-

edit- I am also trying to make something like the ratling_warg_pair, except with a zarchton and a spider. In the game it walks around fine, but after one attack they both stop moving and don't attack, but the animation for both still plays. Is there an easy way to make this work?

defineObject{
	name = "paired_spider",
	baseObject = "spider",
	components = {
		{
			class = "Monster",
			meshName = "spider_mesh",
			hitSound = "spider_hit",
			dieSound = "spider_die",
			hitEffect = "hit_goo",
			capsuleHeight = 0.2,
			capsuleRadius = 0.8,
			health = 450,
			exp = 225,
			traits = { "animal" },
			onInit --This replaces the Zarchton's custom brain with a generic one. This prevents the leap attacks and evasion. 
					= function(self) for obj in self.go.map:entitiesAt(self.go.x, self.go.y) do
										if obj.brain and not obj.id == self.go.id then 
										   obj:removeComponent('brain')
										   obj:createComponent('MeleeBrain', 'brain')
										end
									end	
								end,
			onDie -- This restores the Zarchton's custom brain once the spider dies, and there is no longer a group.
					= function(self) for obj in self.go.map:entitiesAt(self.go.x, self.go.y) do
									    if obj and obj.name == 'zarchton' then
										   obj:removeComponent('brain')
										   obj:createComponent('ZarchtonBrain', 'brain')	
									    end
									end    
								end,
		},
	},
}

defineObject{
	name = "zarchton_spider_pair",
	baseObject = "base_monster_group",	
	components = {
		{
			class = "MonsterGroup",
			monsterType = {"paired_spider","zarchton"},
			count = 2,						
		},
	},
}

function disablechamps()
for i =2,4 do
party.party:getChampion(i):setEnabled(false)
end

In this case, I meant technically (in Lua script) how you intend to add them.
