Random Goblin dropped Medium Shield +1

Today I was taking a freshly-imported archer through Chateau Irenicus and, to my surprise, one of the goblins in the first hallway dropped a Medium Shield +1. I have no idea how many times I did Chateau Irenicus on BG2, but it had to be more than 30, (and would have been higher had I not discovered Dungeon-Be-Gone). This is now my sixth trip through in BG2EE. To my knowledge, this is the first time I have ever seen any of those goblins drop anything other than gold or some junk gems/scrolls.

Is this something they were always able to do, albeit extremely rarely? Is this a new BG2EE feature? A fortunate glitch? I mean, a Medium Shield +1 ultimately isn't that big of a deal in BG2, even this early, but the whole situation is kind of blowing my mind.

    There is also a closet near the clone which has a high chance to contain a high level scroll. Nice start though, right?

    If you don't have the SCS component to add more scrolls or alternatively Item Revisions these random drops are the only way to find some scrolls (like Spell Trigger) before Saradush in ToB. Pickpocketing Amnish Guards works as well.

    Though maybe the Red Wizard Enclave changed that, I don't remember well.

    Yeah, I once got a scroll of Spell Trap. That really blew my mind.

    Sometimes +2 weapons and armor turn up as random items as well as +1 ones, which can be really useful in the earlier half of the game.

    Draug Fea's group once gave me a pair of spell triggers.

    Always when I'm not playing with a mage...

    I've never seen'em drop anything but axes, gold and bows/arrows, methinks. Lucky find!
