Message: <blockquote data-quote="Mesh Hong" data-source="post: 4714269" data-attributes="member: 73463">To be honest after posting I realised that the artifact rules probably wern't appropriate as you want all or most of the PCs kit to level with them and the artifact rules would become very cumbersome if each character had more than one. I would still highly recommend using a couple though. In my 6 PC group I currently have 2 artifacts and 1 "special" weapon. As to the relative power of my group to others, to be honest I don't really know. I hand out treasure and items as I deem appropriate and don't really use the parcel system. I think my PCs probably have a lot less wealth than the guidelines but have about the right amount of items. The 3 special items (all story specific) are probably above level (or at least were when they recieved them during the heroic tier - they are early paragon now so their relative power level is dropping off sharply), especially a sword the paladin has which many people would probably think is "broken". I think treasure has always got to be relative to other wealth in the world, and also relative to what you can actually spend it on. In a points of light campaign society may not be advanced enough to be able to spend thousands of gold in a realistic way. Items depend on the threats that the PCs will face, most of the creatures my players face are of my own design so there is a two way balance between items and creature power.</blockquote>
