[QUOTE="Blue, post: 7345850, member: 20564"] This goes hand-in-hand with something you were talking about before, which was still giving out items. Just for example, I'm going to pretend that item rarity is useful and consistent. There was an analysis of the treasure tables about how many items /the party/ should have at any given level. [url]http://www.enworld.org/forum/showthread.php?395770-Analysis-of-quot-Typical-quot-Magic-Item-Distribution[/url] Going with the useful fiction that this is a good distribution, what we're really looking at is /how much have I decreased found items/ because that should equal /how much money the party [B]as a whole[/B] has to buy items/. In other words, the amount of items held back should determine how much spare money, when pooled by the entire party, they have to purchase. This is building on the idea of rating items in levels - because there is no set gold/wealth-by-level chart. But it then needs to multiply that by how much you are holding back in found items so that it works out. (And, of course, the multiplier for how much magic above/below the baseline that DM wants.)
