Instead of randomizing equipment powers, sort the power by type of weapon. In other words, the Thunder Sword should have the second highest power. The Armor of Erdrick should have the highest defense power, etc.
Also, the last digit of the price should indicate whether the weapon can be used as an item or not. (even = no use, odd = use) +2, 4, or 6 to determine how many can equip an item.
