Simple question about chargen for levels 2+

[Westwind]

Where can I find the guidelines for creating characters beyond level 1? Really, I'm looking for the gp/level table (eqv). I figured it would be in the PH chapter on either magic items or advancement, but I can't find it in either place.

Right here actually.

All the rules for creating a PC above 1st level were in that excerpt, including the wealth at higher level matter. (Short form is that the "wealth by level" table is dead, and instead you choose one magic item of your level +1, one of your level, one of your level -1 and an amount of gold.)


I don't have my books yet, so I'm not sure where this appears in the actual book.

In the DMG, page 143, in the Campaigns section. (Starting a higher level campaign.)
