Message: <blockquote data-quote="McMechanism" data-source="post: 6862872" data-attributes="member: 6839180">I am trying to come up with a quick way to roll treasure for my players. For various reasons that are not worth explaining, we do not use money or gems as treasure, only art objects and magic items. I''d like to simplify the treasure rolling process as set out in the DMG. I know the process I've come up with below LOOKS complicated but ultimately it's just  3-4 dice rolls. The trouble is, I can't tell how often my method may throw up amazing/overpowered treasure for the PCs or if there are any other problems with my method. I'm favouring this method because myself and my group love to roll for stuff and this will actually save me from prepping treasure and painstakingly reading through the magic items in the DMG to pick something for my group that's cool but not totally over powered.Please tell me if you do something similar in your group or how I can improve my method below.My method (untested):Is there treasure?If there is the chance for treasure to be found (at end of encounter or searching an abandoned cottage etc.) roll a d6 UNLESS:you as the DM decide there definitely isn't treasure (a pack of wolves in the wilderness or a swarm of insects etc)OR there definitely IS treasure (epic encounter, major set piece/vampires' castle etc. in which case you can pre-plan some cool loot stuff)Roll a d61-4: nothing found5-6: treasure.Treasure is found (roll d6)1-2: Art object only3-4: Magic item5-6: BothQuality of art object (roll d6)1: Re-roll2: 25 GP3: 250 GP4: 750 GP5: 2,500 GP6: 7,500 GPNow roll on appropriate table on PG 135 DMGRarity of magic item (roll d20)1-10: Common11-14 Uncommon15-17: Rare18-19: Very rare20: Legendary (do I remove legendary items all together?) Now roll on the magic items by rarity table (as extra page in DMG)</blockquote>
