[QUOTE="CapnZapp, post: 6715236, member: 12731"] I think I expressed myself clumsily. First off: thank you for your work! If I read your data correctly there are three (3) permanent magic items to be had. (Counting tables A-E as "consumables" and F-I as "permanents". I am aware this is rough, since there is a 20% chance or thereabouts that any random roll on the "consumables" tables actually yields a permanent or semi-permanent item. Of course, this doesn't matter in this case once the actual items become known) Since this is only for the first five levels, I guess this is okay. However. I currently don't know if I will be able to corral the party into visiting all the locations, and besides, you do make it clear there's no guarantee all of the loot will be found. (That you disregard loot you need to murderhobo your way through a king and an OP dragon is perfectly alright, by the way!) On the other hand, if there are permanent items to be had from random rolls in random encounters, I do think it would be valuable to take note of them too. The way I'm raised on D&D is that consumables aren't "real" items, and that around level 5 you could expect to get your first magic item (your first permanent magic item, that is). So your report for levels 6-10 will be most interesting! If your findings does not suggest it is very likely the party will find two'ish items per character by level 8-10 or so that is on the low end for my personal preferences, and I shall have to start making up more.
