Feature idea: mini-vaults

[CunningGabe]

Here's a random idea that's been rattling in my head today: mini-vaults (say 2x2 or 3x3) that are filled with items only of a particular type. So you might find a room filled with potions or one filled with arrows. It seems to me like a fun way to spice up the dungeons a bit. What do people think?

Depends on what kind of monsters might be in them thar vaults.

Unangband has similar - certain rooms that are filled with arrows or mushrooms or potions and the like.

Yep. Vaults that size don't even really seem like vaults in the dungeon, just an interesting configuration of loot in a little cross pattern.

Giant White Lice, or Greater Titans.

The fact they are easily over-looked, is what makes them so nasty...
they do have ood monsters and ood items... but are much harder to notice then a 20+ square area surrounded by perma-rock.
