[QUOTE="Bacon Bits, post: 8291356, member: 6777737"] That's like telling a poor man he shouldn't have any trouble with banks charging overdraft since he hasn't got any money in the first place. Edit: To be sure, the way we got that many items was using the Random Treasure from the DMG. Not how I prefer to do treasure, but this DM loves rolling on random tables. We got roughly 1-2 treasure hoards each level. If you think that's outrageous an outrageous number of items for mid-level, then I'll note the DMG says, "Over the course of a typical campaign, a party finds treasure hoards amounting to seven rolls on the Challenge 0–4 table, eighteen rolls on the Challenge 5–10 table, twelve rolls on the Challenge 11–16 table, and eight rolls on the Challenge 17+ table." That's 45 rolls, or 2.25 treasure hoards per level. About half the campaign there were only 3 PCs and the rest were with 4 PCs. Our fifth player was covering second shift that campaign. The only unusual thing the DM did was throw back items that didn't fit anybody in the party, but it more or less tells you to do that. For example, around level 7 or 8 we took down a pretty powerful demon, and the DM rolled on the 11-16 table (it's based on the enemy CR). We got... a [I]holy avenger[/I]! Cool! Thematic! Except... nobody was a paladin so we re-rolled it. [/QUOTE]
