6 items. And some +1 weapons/armours, potions, and scrolls. Compare that to 10k wealth by level as 5th level in 3.P.

This answer makes no sense - please ignore.

Ah, more thread necromancy. Not nearly as good as the last one (which was animated after a full decade), but still worthy of note.

I thought the assumption was that PCs need no magic items? Therefore, shouldn't the assumption be that PCs don't get magic items? If they don't need magic items but get them, then won't they'll be stronger then what the game assumes? Getting magic items should increase their effective CR.

Except PCs don't get the CR.

Also missing the Ax from the dragon's hord its a +1 weapon named Hew that deals full damage to plants.

I forget the exact term. APL? Party level? Anyway, if you give PCs good magic items, you need treat CRs/monster levels/whatever as 1-4 levels lower then what they actually are. Or more magic items = stronger PCs then what game assumes.

Well, different games assume different power level of PCs. I've never run a published adventure myself, so I am probably not the best person to comment on this. But I believe that the guys who write those are better DMs than I am and even I do take into account the impact of magic items I put into the adventure. This is the reason I never do random magic items. The second reason is that I find basic items in DMG boring, but that is a different story.

Low magic - high magic it varies. NPCs and monsters also can have lots of shiny things (this is how PCs usually get the items - from the cold dead hands of the fallen enemies).

Bottom line - yes, you should take into account magic items PCs possess, but the same applies to every other resource at their disposal, so I don't see a big deal with it.

The above list is innacruate. It adds in several items that are not in the adventure and then leaves out several items that are.
