I am looking through Pyramid of Shadows in prep to run it for my 4e game. This is the first of the pre-published modules I have ran for 4e, and I was looking through the module to see what magic items were given out, and it seems like it is very light on the expected items.
The adventure is supposed to run through levels 7-10, so according to the treasure parcels in the DMG, I should expect to see 12-16 magic items in the adventure ranging in levels from 8 to 14. I see 8 items (1 level 8, 2 level 10s, 2 level 11s, 3 level 12s) but they do not seem to come close to matching the distribution I expect (ie, level+1, Level+2, level+3, Level+4 for each level 7-10).
I expect a couple of these would be off because I doubt the adventure goes all the way through 10 (I assume it just gets the PCs to 10), but this seems way off. I can correct it myself, but is there something I am missing here? Is the adventure intentionally shorting items? Have I misunderstood the rules for doling out items?
