Korven Boneslayer

Korven Boneslayer is a melee creature in Dungeon Siege II and Broken World.

Back to the bestiary

Template name: korven_boneslayer_stats

Dominating the deep desert, the Korven are a fiercely brutal race of beings, even the Morden are kept from entering their territory. They have a simple caste system based on a shared passion for mutual destruction and both classes are experts at wielding staves.

The chance is for one kill of this creature (level 36 / 60 / 82 in Mercenary / Veteran / Elite) with magic find at 0: the chance that its drop table rolls an item of this kind, times this item’s share of the items that can come out at that level. Items with the same name are added up. Creatures of the same kind that the Bestiary lists under other names share the same drop table at their own level. Computed from the game’s drop tables, not measured. A source rolls the entries of its drop table; an entry asks the game’s item table for one item of the right class inside a level window; every matching item is equally likely (the game picks a random row, there is no rarity weight). Chance is per kill or per opening, with magic find at 0.

Does it count for the Bestiary?

Can be completed

Enough of them exist, or a scene or conversation gives the credit.

Confidence: High the audit of the data files, confirmed by the in-game kill test
