Message: <blockquote data-quote="Runestar" data-source="post: 4598191" data-attributes="member: 72317">A cr2 npc gets 2000gp of gear, not 4300 (that would be for a cr5 npc). Not to mention that warrior lvs are wasted for a kobold past 4th lv. You clearly get a lot more mileage out of PC classes such as fighter (using the racial substitution in races of dragon), since they both improve cr at the same rate.I am guessing the next best thing might be to concentrate their wealth in the form of consumables which they use to buff themselves prior to combat. For example, the npc caster could augment the horde with mass cat's grace, haste and magic circle against good (cast from scrolls). The benefit is probably greater than any persistent effects from magic gear, and their temporary nature irrelevant for purposes of said encounter.</blockquote>
