Make Thundarr drop the Potion of Literacy when killed

This was suggested on the forum but could not find any RFEs concerning it, so..

Making Thundarr drop the Potion of Literacy when killed would give the possibility of learning literacy for chaos knight without changing alignment. It would also encourage different playing styles for other characters.
I don't know how hard Thundarr is as an enemy, but he could be beefed up if there is any balance problems.

You can get literacy by eating black wizard and dark sage corpses, so the possibility already exists.

If I had a potion of literacy, I wouldn't wear it on my person - I'd store it in a cupboard until I figure out what to even do with it. I doubt Thrundarr would go about it in any other way.

Black wizards never leave corpses?

He has huge PV and shrugs bolts like crazy. Not a problem otherwise.

Black wizards totally leave corpses, but I'm not sure whether they grant literacy or not off the top of my mind. Dark sages definitely do.

Maybe chaos knights should get an option to kill the ghost librarian in an especially chaos-like manner and eat some of his essence, gaining literacy that way. Nothing says that their particular solution has to be Thrundarr, too.

Heh.. Benmathiessen found out chaos knights *already can* gain the skill from scratch from the ghost librarian.

I had no idea! I don't even have 1.2.0p7, dammit

Just a note: Thrundarr is basically impossible to kill in melee (he has 100 PV) before you've gotten significantly farther into the game. Anyway, I agree this shouldn't be so easy, especially since you can apparently get it from Librarian.

Killing is not the intended way here :-)
