 			The seed used by the random number generator. A given seed will give a reproducible sequence of pseudo-random numbers.
 			[b]Note:[/b] The RNG does not have an avalanche effect, and can output similar random streams given similar seeds. Consider using a hash function to improve your seed quality if they're sourced externally.
