Magic items are not supposed to be needed. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> But Sane Magic Item Prices (SMIP hereafter) does seem to assume you hand out static bonus items, as most pre-written scenarios do even at very low levels.The SMIP seem to follow the quadratic price development of 3E, where cost is a function of the level squared. The prices in 5E are exponential, multiplying by ten every 5 levels. However, I find the difference less than expected and i don't plan to hand out x10,000 gp at level 20, so I am quite happy with the quadratic development.</blockquote>
