No More Rare Monsters

Tired of having an excellent run halted in one turn by an overpowered rare hitting you from offscreen/stealth/around a corner/teleport/force grab/etc. for thrice your health in unavoidable damage before you can even react?

So am I, lets remove them.

Everything else is untouched, so Elites, Uniques and Bosses can still stomp you, but at least they're suppose to do that. Rares are so common they should be renamed to Uncommons, but wield power far stronger than you on top of being randomized, making them unpredictable and impossible to counter without spotting them ahead of time and knowing every class skill in detail. But usually you don't even see them coming in the first place.

Deaths in Roguelikes are common, but you should always learn something from that death. Dying to the RNG without even knowing why or how, that's a broken feature and shouldn't be a thing.


Note that this only stops Rares from spawning on a map load, other spawns like the opening of chests can still create Rares, but at least you have a choice there.

Also haven't thoroughly tested this yet, but the dungeons I've run seem to work just fine. It's a small edit either way.
