[QUOTE="Wicht, post: 6293280, member: 221"] That's not anything broken. The table is a guideline only. I rarely pay attention to it [i]during a campaign[/i], but its very useful for designing an adventure, or creating a group of PCs who are not 1st level. It also allows you to have a certain gauge to compare to how well your characters are above or below average in material assets so as to better predict the toughness of given situations re: CR. But the fact that any given campaign will be above or below it merely speaks to the variety of choices and consequences available in an RPG, which is, I think, one of the appeals of RPGs as compared to other gaming endeavors. Anyway, consider it an average only, useful for comparison and analysis, rather than a straight-jacket when DMing, and don't worry if your characters are too poor or too rich, but recognize the effect this will have on their ability to perform against certain challenges.
