I'm an O5e player, but I use a lot of A5e material behind the screen because I think it generally superior to WOTC's products.
I am starting a new campaign, and trying to figure out treasure. I want to use the T&T role tables. However, I am having trouble understanding what their assumptions are around treasure. The book states that over the course of an adventurer's life (which I take to mean up to level 20), they should expect to get 18 consumable magic items or enchanted trinkets (which I take to mean non-combat, "problem solving" wonderous-type items) and 6 permanent magic items.
But they're also expected to get hundreds' of thousands of gold, which would make it possible to buy much, MUCH more than that.
My question is: what does A5e assume characters can buy with treasure? It lists magic item prices for permanent items - does it assume these are regularly available? Do characters mostly buy consumable items, like in O5e?
The fundamental thing I'm trying to understand is whether T&T gold levels will imbalance my game - it seems like characters can buy a LOT using the gold assumptions of this book.
