Quest and achievement rewards: Pragmatist Helm

From the quests' reward tables (QuestReward, QuestClassReward) and the journal's achievement steps (AchievementReward). A bonus roll is a reward package: each of its slots comes up on its own (RewardPackage, out of 100,000,000) and then gives one item by weight (RewardPackageItem). Chance per completion = 1 − Π(1 − slot chance × weight) over the slots that hold the item — our calculation.
