[QUOTE="Celebrim, post: 5590023, member: 4937"] Also, G1-3 are part of an adventure path. In order to ensure that the characters will be ready for the challenges of the next episode, you have to cram enough XP and magical items into each module for what might have been extended adventures otherwise. There is absolutely no evidence that the books - the DMG, the MM, etc. - ever encouraged DMs to distribute loot on such a massive scale outside of competive tournament modules, adventure paths and the like. Additionally, Giants and Dragons are some of the wealthiest foes you might face, so anything that features them will result in comparitively massive amounts of treasure but its hardly to be assumed that they are normally the sum total of all encounters you will have. Actual treasure distribution in 1st edition following the rules per monster you face looks something like this: Aerial Servant: - Ankheg: 371 cp, 300 sp, 71 ep, 25% chance of 1 gem, 11% chance of 1 piece of jewelry, 6% chance of one magic item. Giant Ant: 3% chance of one gem, 1.6% chance of one potion Ape, Gorilla: - Ape, Carniverous: 260 cp, 210 sp, 50 ep, 18% chance of 1 gem, 8% chance of 1 piece of jewelry, 4% chance of 1 magic item Axebeak: - Baboon: - Badger: - Barracuda: - Baluchitherium: - Basilisk: 420 sp, 390 ep, 880 gp, ~2 gems, 22% chance of 1 piece of jewelry, 60% chance of 1 magic item (no weapons) Bear: - Beaver, Giant: - Beetle, Giant: - Beholder: 315 pp, ~ 6 gems, ~3 pieces of jewelry, 15% of 1 magic item, 2 potions, ~1 scroll Black Pudding: - Blink Dog: 130 cp, 105 sp, 25 ep, 9% chance of 1 gem, 4% of 1 piece of jewelry, 2% chance of 1 magic item Boar: - Brain Mole: - Brownie: 63 cp, 135 sp, 38 ep, 13% chance of 1 gem Buffalo: - Bugbear: 120 cp, 52 sp, 37 ep, 29 gp, 6% chance of 1 gem, 2.4% chance of 1 jewelry, 0.5% chance of 1 magic armor or weapon Bullette: - Bull: - Camel: - Carrion Crawler: 643 cp, 250 sp, 179 ep, 107 gp, 39% chance of 1 gem, 14% chance of 1 jewelry, 2.8% chance of 1 magic item (no weapons) Catapolus: 519 cp, 294 sp, 99 ep, 35% chance of 1 gem, 20% chance of 1 jewelry, 8% chance of 1 magic item Cattle, Wild: - Centaur: 32 cp, 70 sp, 48 ep, 130 gp, 23 pp, ~2 gems, 29% chance of 1 jewelry, 9% chance of 1 scroll, 1% chance of 1 potion, 3% chance of 1 magic item Centipede, Giant: - Cerebral Parasite: - Chimera: 420 sp, 390 ep, 880 gp, ~2 gems, 22% chance of 1 piece of jewelry, 60% chance of 1 magic item (no weapons) Crayfish, giant: - Crocodile: - Demogorgon: 2000 gp, 1750 pp, 10 gems, 3 jewelry, 2 potions, ~1 scroll, ~2 magic items (not potions or scrolls) Jubilex: 2100 sp, 750 ep, 4000 gp, 3500 pp, 20 gems, 5 jewelry Manes: - Orcus: 1050 sp, 375 ep, 2 potions, 40 gems, 14 pieces of jewelry, 2 potions, ~1 scroll, 70% chance of 1 magic item (not potions or scrolls) Succubus: 315 pp, 7 gems, ~3 pieces of jewelry, 15% chance of 1 magic item Dinosaur: - Djinn: - Dog: - Dolphin: - Doppleganger: 37 cp, 217 sp, 117 ep, 150 gp, 13% of one gem, 6% chance of one jewelry, 10% chance of 1 magic item, 3.3% chance of 1 scroll Dragonne: 2250 cp, 875 sp, 625 ep, 500 gp, ~1 gem, 50% chance of 1 jewelry, 10% chance of 1 magic weapon, 2 potions, ~1 scroll Dragon Turtle: 2250 cp, 875 sp, 625 ep, 2500 gp, 1750 pp, ~11 gems, ~4 jewelry, ~2 magic items (not potions or scrolls), 2 potions, ~1 scroll Dryad: 500 gp, ~7 gems Dwarf: 91 gp, 10 pp, 17% chance of a gem, 2% chance of 1 jewelry, 2.5% chance of 1 magic item, 3.2% chance of 1 magic weapon or armor, 0.2% chance of 1 scroll Ear Seeker: - Eel: - Elemental: - Elephant: - Ettin: 1145 cp, 820 sp, 100 ep, 1960 gp, 35% chance of 1 gem, 16% chance of 1 jewelry, 8% chance of 1 magic item Eye, Floating: - Flightless Bird: - Frog: - Fungi, Violet: - Gar, Giant: - Gargoyle: 144 cp, 117 sp, 28 ep, 25 gp, 10% chance of 1 gem, 4% chance of 1jewelry, 2.2% chance of 1 magic item Gas Spore: - Gelatinous Cube: 14 cp, 11 sp, 7 ep, 5 gp, 4 pp, ~1 gem Ghast: 643 cp, 250 sp, 179 ep, 678 gp, 500 pp, ~4 gems, ~1 jewelry, 2.8% chance of 1 magic item (no weapons), 57% chance of 1 potion, 36% chance of 1 scroll Ghost: 275 cp, 1625 sp, 875 ep, 1125 gp, 98% chance of 1 gem, 45% chance of 1 jewelry, 2 potions, 75% chance of 1 magic item, 25% chance of 1 scroll Ghoul: 173 cp, 67 sp, 48 ep, 38 gp, 10% chance of 1 gem, 4% chance of 1 jewelry, 0.7% chance of 1 magic weapon, 9.6% chance of 1 scroll Giant, Cloud: 78 cp, 464 sp, 250 ep, 3821 gp, 143 pp, ~1 gem, 7.5% chance of 1 jewelry, 21% chance of 1 magic item, 7% chance of 1 scroll And of course, according to the discussion in the DMG, most of that coin should be converted to tradable commodities, valuable goods, and the like rather than in an easily portable form.
