Parameters:

level - the level of item to choose (after random adjustment). Doesn't work for "treasure" - call RandomTreasure.randomTreasure() for that.

type - the item type/category

randomItemOfLevelAndType

public static Archetype randomItemOfLevelAndType(int level,
                                                 java.lang.String stype,
