  Right, but presumably, iron weapons will still show up occasionally also, 
right?  Eg, it may be the case that most orcs come with bronze weapons, but 
you'd think that leader types or occassionaly an orc will show up with an iron 
weapon (an ideal ratio for that I'm not sure).  But I'd also note that one thing 
I always find neat is actually finding that cool weapon that I'll actually use 
vs it showing up in a shop (wow, a +4 longsword!).  So from that perspective, 
I'd also think you want iron weapons to show up some of the time.

  Yes, probably so.  I think at one point, summoned monsters came without 
treasure, but that created the problem that it made some summoned monsters 
really sucky.

  Alternatively, the value of all such objects the summoned monster gets could 
also just be reset to zero.  Thus, they may have some nice stuff, but it just 
isn't worth anything.  Although, I like the startequip idea better - makes more 
sense since the monsters are summoned out of thin air.
