[QUOTE="Jefe Bergenstein, post: 2836799, member: 31506"] Whats the recommended wealth level for 3rd level characters? If the breast plate is an upgrade to the paladin, what kind of sorry armor is he wearing? A chain shirt? Leather? It seems that a 3rd level front line fighter should be sporting more than a 15 ac... Toss the paladin some plate. An ogre (cr 3) has a +8 attack bonus for 2d8+7 damage... he's going to need an ac above 20 pretty fast in order to do any front line fighting without a cleric casting cure light wounds every round. As far as the jeweled dagger for the gnome... does he actually wield daggers? Are you using the 3.5 weapon size rule? Because a d3 mundane weapon isnt much to drool over. It will get written on the sheet and never used, or sold off. I'd make it whatever weapon he uses, and masterwork. Check out the DMG for equipping NPC's with class levels. They tend to be decently equipped. A 4th level NPC cleric is going to be sporting better than a breastplate. I'm always a fan of fluffing out treasure lists with consumables, since they are more strategically used. Perhaps instead of that scroll of shield give the sorcerer a mostly used up wand of mage armor or something (12 charges remaining). Give the cleric 3 scrolls of cure light wounds, etc. It doesnt buff the cleric, it just helps avoid the "D&D day" of stopping adventuring once you are out of heals. You said you were planning on breaks between fights... that doesnt really help unless the party has access to more spells. A potion or 2 can help a lot. [/QUOTE]
