Make low-level enemies drop fewer crafting materials without rounding them to zero

A strong player returns to the first stage and farms rats for rare ore. Cutting the drops by half is fair, but when a rat drops one ore, half of one rounds to nothing and the stage feels dead. This entry scales the amount and keeps the average honest with a single roll.

Why this works

Fair on average is not the same as fair each time. Giving the whole part for certain and the fractional part as a chance keeps the long-run amount exactly right and makes small drops feel alive instead of rounding to nothing. A small floor keeps the old stage worth a visit.

When not to use it

Do not shrink drops in a game that wants players to go back and help friends, or where grinding is the main activity. There, the cut feels like a punishment. Use it only where farming the easiest place would skip the intended path.
