Random Mundane Treasure

RANDOM TREASURE DM decides when/where to place Loot, but randomizing Form & Value Range is fun.  For Random Hoards, roll Treasure Form a number of times equal to Dungeon Level or Average PC XPL, roll GP Value/Number for each, detail Valuables, Gems, Jewelry, sprinkle with Weird Loot for color
