treasure for characters starting above level 1

[lantern314]

I thought that I had seen a table somewhere that showed the expected GP value of treasure and magic items for characters that are started above level 1 but I can't find it now that I need it.
Am I remembering incorrectly?
Can someone point me at that information?


PS. I tried to post this earlier, but it didn't seem to work. If this is a duplicate post many pardons.

I recommend that you look at your Dungeon Masters Guide. Somewhere in the 140 page range or so.

There are the treasure parcels on 126, but for starting characters who are higher than first level, it's supposed to be one item of the players level, one above, one below, and enough money to buy one more at level -1.

DMG p143. (item #7 for the steps at starting at higher level)

It's something like:
* one magic item that is one level below starting level
* one magic item that is at starting level
* one magic item that is one level above starting level
* enough gp equal to the value of a magic item that is one level lower than starting level (which can be used to buy other magic items/ritual components/potions/etc or save whatever left over)
* any standard/basic mundane equipment for free

So, example:
Starting 10th level characters would get
* one 9th level magic item
* one 10th level magic item
* one 11th level magic item
* the gp value of a 9th level item to spend on components/other magic items/potions/etc
* any basic mundane equipment
