A greater vegepygmy thorny rider do not drops any loot (check for loot: 25 <= 5).

Also, same thing was noted for a restless soul in the Abandoned lair (uhm golem factory).

25 <= 5 means that you rolled a 25. The "<=" means less than or equal to the roll of 5 for loot. So rolls of 1 - 5 means you get loot. 6 and over means nothing drops.

And the Restless Soul is the same deal, though I don't think it's meant to drop anything special, just a generic loot roll.

Er... Richard... how should I write this in the MOST polite manner...? I do not have dyscalculia nor innumeracy.

Yes, this is really bug or intended tweak -- second great veg. rider do not drop loot.
p.s. 4 our illiterate friends: this was the great variety of mob (and expected to have a drop rate 100%).

No need to insult other players Q't'ulu.If this was one of the random glowing creatures of the group (e.g. named enemies in mobs) then it could've possibly just been an error. I've had it with drops once or twice where just an empty PLC has spawned with no loot inside.

Revak, this case is very different from empty PLC (which is well-known bug of NWN). (atleast) greater veg.t.rider have unmodified drop rate -- 5%, not 100% as expected from it status and appearance.
p.s. just ~5 mins ago I killed 3rd greater v.t.rider -- and its drop rate was 5%.

The restless soul is working normal though it sounds like the greater pygmy isn’t. We’ve logged this

Things with thorny* even worse, than I was expecting. I have seen 2 occurences, when loot was dropped on failed loot check (35 & 56 vs 5). This is... a bit suriprising. (a screenshot was taken)
