I think that there should be a "meat" item, it would cause the roaches who can get to it ignore you, rusing to the easy meal.

Are you sure this isn't just a decoy for your real idea?

What Banjooie is trying to say is that there is already a decoy potion in DROD 2.0, which is very similar to your idea (since you haven't said what the range on the meat is, or if it disappears because it's eaten, etc). The demo version, which is free, has a fully functional editor, so if you weren't aware of all the objects in 2.0, you should check it out. www.caravelgames.com

Game on,

That was a decoy potion? I didn't see it in the help section...
Well it can be eaten for 30 turns by one roach and more then 1 roach will cause them to fight amongst themselves. Though all roaches will quit fighting if a queen steps in.
As for the placement-it will be done similarly to the decoy potion...
This could be done in a room with many roaches and a tough monster. With the roaches, the monster is more difficult, but grab some meat, he'll be a lot easier...
