Shattered Kingdoms

death rot items seem to be destroyed on stun too, even while in containers.

What is the reasoning behind making numerous store bought items (weapons in particular) death rot?

Sometimes its a builder trying to keep an item from being hoarded. Depends on the item. I would use death-rot on store bought item that I considered especially powerful. A certain wand sold in Ch'zzrym for example.

Ok thanks. I'm surprised to see a cold iron reach weapon do that then but then again, cold iron may be more powerful than what I am giving it credit for.

Are pawnshop NPCs excluded from this?
