        Well, if you can assign treasurelists to objects, you could easily do this.

Yes, exactly - excellent.  This is what I mean by modular as well - body

dragon_cleric treasurelist - just add dragon_bodyparts and
cleric_treasure...

I just meant you can have distinct purpose treasure lists as I mention
above.
