[QUOTE="Rel, post: 32697, member: 99"] I think the comparison nwn_deadman is making is apples and oranges. In my opinion, the only way to get the effect he seems to want is to take the character wealth level in question, double it and generate random magic items totalling that amount. That would represent the somewhat random nature of the items that characters gain over the levels. Then, he could travel the land seeking markets for the items he doesn't want to keep. The travel expenses will probably further eat into the 50% value that he gets to retain from the sale of those items. He may have to travel even further to use that gold to purchase items that he really wants. This is all much more realistic (assuming that there isn't a nearby mega-city where all items can be bought and sold as per the book) but more of a hassle. That is why the DMG offers the simple rules that it does. If you wish for something more complex, go for it. [/QUOTE]
