[QUOTE="Matthias, post: 5949014, member: 3625"] I've been doing similar math juggling such as what you present in the second table, but I never really liked the results of the different methods I used. But perhaps the quoted text above holds the key to what I need, particularly in light of the last sentence of it. So what do you think of this--here is a breakdown of gp per PC level into five categories: 30, 25, 20, 15, and 10 percent. Each category should be assigned to one of the five equipment types: weapons, protection, magic, limited use, and other gear. A melee character will want to spend much of his money on weapons and protection while a caster would have the bulk of his gp invested in magic & limited-use items. A GM may use this table to have PCs start with magic items, but if they are lower-level (6th or less), the GM may want to replace "magic" as a category with "alchemical items" or something similar.
