(As long as you dont want your PC getting ahold of the items lol)So, really if all your asking about is gear then MAKE THE GEAR UP AS A DM.... if the items are too powerful that you dont want your PC's to use it/ be able to get ahold of it then... I dont know what to say... actually I do just lie to your PC's.. yeah many encounters I had the mosnters with +2 swords just so they could do damage to my PC's... but did I give my PC's a +2 sword every time they beat a foe with a +2 sword?... NO!... what i mean is that a ceratin way to Dm is to give your monster WAY better items than your PCs WOULD aquire if they looted those monsters... yes THIS IS NOT STANDARD AS PER RAW... but I noticed that many RAW creatures are weak... so I usually up the RAW monsters without uping the items they give (which means I up the items they have without uping the items I give to the NPC's (note: monsters without regular items dont factor into this equation)... This may seem deceptive... so yeah its about the campaign... in a high powered campaign monsters in the MM's are generally very weak in terms of CR... I play high powered campaigns so most monsters have weak CR.. so i give most monsters more items that arent relfected in the items PC actually get from beating that said creature.. if thats deceptive than hey i dont mind it...)This usually applies to monsters that use items... obviosuly i wouldnt up the items of a monster that uses no items to attack (like a Behir or a Delver, etc, etc; i would just increase RHD (racial HD))\And yes you can ask yourslef: would it be better to just up RHD or other factors? actually alot of the time it iseasier (as a DM in some sense to...) just up the items not the racial (creature ) based stats</blockquote>
