Timeline scumming shouldn't be a strong concern, I don't think. Remember that See the Threads can only be used once on a given floor, so it's probably only going to be used on one boss or rare.

Loot gen is done during level gen right now, right? Which is what lets enemies use the gear they're going to drop (occasionally resulting in terrifying egos)? Enemies using the gear they drop is one of my favorite little verisimilitude things in roguelikes. I don't know how you'd reconcile that with loot buffs on kill...though I guess there's some precedence from the bosses who uses their fixedarts, but choose an artifact to drop on death (i.e. the current targets for timeline scumming).
