[QUOTE="kreynolds, post: 209712, member: 2829"] I agree. Currency is by no means an effective defensive, nor an effective weapon against a Balor. :D This is one of the reasons that I don't have a problem allowing my players to have close or equal to the maximum wealth allowed by Table 5-1, as it is easier to plan for encounters. Also, they tend to keep a little wealth in reserve for some spending cash, and if they ever get in a pinch, well, they can just sell an item or something. :) I think low magic campaigns are a hassle since you have to go and muck with all the encounters to match them towards your really weak players. After all, if your players only have +1 weapons, they have no business taking on high CR monsters or high level encounters of any kind unless you first adjust them and bring said encounters down to the party's level.
