[QUOTE="harmyn, post: 2895648, member: 13511"] Treasure and XP seem about right to me. Got to remember that this wasn't a simple one off plotted adventure. KotB is a lot more like a mini-campaign. It takes several sessions in either edition to complete and the body count among PCs can be high unless they are very careful. With a party of 6 each will end up with a share of just under 5k in gold. Magic is where you have to watch it, but even though the list is long, its mostly temporary or useless. Of the 26 categories of listed items, 5 are useful potions, 4 are scrolls, 3 are cursed, and 2 are only useful if you are evil or undead. Of the remaining remaining 12 categories of items 2 are individual wands that are almost out of charges, another is a collection of 6 +1 arrows (useful but limited and expended quickly). That leaves only 9 remaining categories of long lasting magic items. The most powerful is the +2 sword and you do have 2 suits of magic armor and 3 magic shields. At 5th level its projected that you will have about 9k in gear. With the coin and magic you won't be too far off where you are supposed to be. [/QUOTE]
