[QUOTE="Trudra, post: 9255954, member: 7044659"] [FONT=Calibri]The items on the charts are not as important as the rarity and how many you get on each role. As the level of play goes up so do the quality and number of items you get. As you can see in the chart below the number of items at each quality level goes up with the CR of the monsters. As for individuals pointing out why should you care, primarily so we can add other magic Items from other books to the random list. As a DM I take into account what players have on a wish list and hand those out as special items for reaching a goal. I do all other treasures randomly as I am not reading through everything to just randomly pick what I think is cool. Special note: CR 11-16: combines A and B as well as F and G under the same % roll so add them together.
