Character wealth by level guidelines

[zoroaster100]

Where can I find the character wealth by level guidlines that tell you how much wealth a character should have when created at 2nd level or above instead of first level? What is the amount suggested wealth total for characters created at second level?

DMG p. 143 is where you'll find the guidelines. However, note that at low levels (2-4 or so), the guidelines will generate somewhat more wealth than a normally leveled party would have.

You can also figure the approximate wealth that the party should have from the Parcel tables on DMG pp 126-129, by adding up the total monetary wealth (given in the upper right of each level's table) and the total magical items. This is unwieldy at high levels but easy to do at level 2.
