Forked from: A 4E magic item conundrum
I have herd (aand with no supporting proof math or even a compelling reason beyond gut feeling) and belive this is not true the treasue does not appear to me to be like the parsels...on the WotC board someone said if you went through the whole adventure ou would have 3 level (almost 4th) PCs with 5th (almost 6th) level gear...
Falstaff said:Sure, you can do it that way. But I still argue that the DMG doesn't explain the game that way. My suggestion - if you want to run a game that's easier to maintain - is to follow the guidelines as they're presented in the DMG.
If you reverse engineer Keep on the Shadowfell you'll see that the Treasure Parcel awards follow the DMG exactly.
I should mention that I realize there are a multitude of ways to re-interpret the rules, but I'm the kind of DM that follows the rules closely. I find that always make for a better game simply because I'm not clever enough to design game systems or have the time to playtest them as much as D&D's game system has been tested. I think it is a better game when played by the rules that have been playtested and designed by professional game designers.
