I don't follow the standard NPC guidelines for every character - some get the same PB and WBL a PC would get (NPCs can be heroes too). I don't tweak the monsters though.In general, expect the group to fare pretty well vs. printed monsters unless they're horribly under-CRed or the actual encounter makes it more difficult to dispatch them. But some NPCs with class levels are not simply Fighter 6 with the Elite array (fair warning)That being said, Ferviel is rich due to his past adventuring days and his position in the temple. The Temple however.. That institution (as printed in the FR books) is so rich it can afford to buy out anything in stock from the vendors in Angelwatch if it will mean equipping the force and get the job done. GP are a tool, losing this force will be a horrible blow to the Church of Lathander.I always called Angelwatch a town, but now I read the DMG and apparently, in DnD everything bigger than 25,000 population is considered a metropolis. (Funny because my home town is ~60,000 and that's definitely not a metropolis. Walking from one end to the other takes 40 minutes)So apparently by DMG standards he bought so much stuff you can literally have everything. Here are some simple guidelines of what he might have:Bought from the vendors:- Prioritized martial character gear since the majority are paladins warrior priests or mercenaries. Lazarus already commented on how precious few arcane casters they have. As such, most of the gear is enchanted weapons and armour, cloaks, rings etc. Consider all martial gear of up to +3 to be available in some fashion except Exotic Weapons, gear for sizes different from Medium or gear that comes from Incarnum/Psionic books. Those are most likely not purchased (simply put, there are no known potential candidates to use this gear so Ferviel ignored it for more needed tings)- Got any SRD Arcane spell up to level 4 as a scroll. For a spell from a different source (or SRD greater then 4), I will roll 1d20 where the chance of not having it (or DC to beat) is 0+spell level.- Defensive measures versus Undead things and especially Cleric spells scrolls and potions are readily available.- Elite gear (items costing more than a +3 item would or of uncommon materials) has been bought sparingly and might have been distributed to the higher ranking characters.It's Ferviel's call how he distributes Temple wealth but that doesn't mean he will give level 9 Pearls of Power or Rings of Evasion like they're candy.Ferviel's own personal stash of itemsYou don't get any guidelines for this since he does not possess an itemized list of them. He might have some pretty powerful stuff but getting him to give it to you is a different story. If it's not on the vendor list he might still have it here, or have some custom items that are not your run of the mill stock. Most of the things he needs for himself though after so many years of adventuring he has some things he can part with.By the way, have you checked out my thread on the Legend system? It's an incredibly fun D20 homebrew that puts PF to shame. I might run a level 1 adventure using that to get a feel of the superb versatility and stated class balance.</blockquote>
