[QUOTE="Autumn Bask, post: 7591352, member: 6986805"] I don't think it's so much about whether your game is better, as it is whether your game is representative of most other players' experiences. There's the commonly understood paradigm for playing D&D, and then there are DM caveats. Most people when giving generalized balance advice place it in this "imaginary conventional scenario" so that there is some common basis for discussion about this game, which in reality can be an incredibly variable experience. Based on all the campaigns I've played in, and am currently playing in, common practice is that PCs have upwards of 2000 to 7000 gold by 5th level. Also, most of them race past character levels 1-4, because most of us are experienced players and have gone through that song and dance so many times already. That also seems to be the general assumption of most players on this board, as well as what most official adventures try to encourage. So, to give advice based on the assumption that PCs will be gold-starved is unlikely to be accurate for the average player. [/QUOTE]
