[QUOTE="jamesmanhattan, post: 6074843, member: 75838"] If you roll 43 times on the Magic Items table, to see what you'd get for a 5th level party.

Note: I didn't realize how simple Plate+1 is considered a "Very Rare" item. I did the same for level 14, because I might run the Mud Sorcerer's Tomb. I came up with for a 5-person party: 3 Very Rare items 6 Rare items 35 Uncommon items [/QUOTE]
