Suppose I have a drop from a champion monster. Its default drop is (I think) 2 potions, 2 magic items. Let's say those 2 magic items are a
>short sword and a long sword. Each sword will have the probability shown on magdrop.txt (which depends on ilvl, qlvl, mf) of being
>unique/set/rare. Right?
Yes, that file will have tables where you can check the probabilities of those sword to be of a specific quality. Note that as I said, there can be slight actual changes, lets suppose the unique versions of the sword has such a high level so that a specific monster can't drop it, then of course the final chance for a unique sword is 0%. However, the chance that the game tried to make it unique will be as stated in that file (in that case, it will be a failed rare with higher durability by the way).
Also, lets assume it says the chance for a unique is 1%. That does not mean 1% of all items will be unique, it mean that 1% of those that could be unqiue (diregarding potions, keys and so on) will be unique.
>What about the mondrop files? Baal drops 6 items (I think), so what does mondrop say about that drop?
The first table will list the ammount of items that will be of a specific type. For example, out of ALL items droped by Baal, almost 10% will be class specific ones. A bit more than 7% will be gold and so on (that table is actually on a "per item" basis.
Next comes a table similary to the one in magprob. But here it WILL factor in that some items (for example potions) can't be magical in any form (they will end up under "other". As you see, the sum will always be 100%. These values will typically be lower than those in magprob of course. For example the act ,ag drop file lists values for unique in the 5-6% range (with no MF) while the actual ammount will be arround 4-5% as seen in mondrop. The difference is mainly in the 20% "other" that is not accounted for in magprob, plus limited things such as failed uqniues.
The final tables for which runes, uniques and set that can drop should be self explaining.

There are three types of people in the world. Those who can count and those who can't.
