[QUOTE="S'mon, post: 207435, member: 463"] I agree that certain classes are more equipment-reliant, eg I got p'd off with our previous GM when I was playing a Fighter and we never got more than 25gp from a scenario - I still had a regular chain shirt & no magic at 3rd level, when I got killed by a ghoul. So for my next PC I made a cleric with emphasis on buffing spells, much more effective in that milieu. My campaign world is a low-magic one (with a lower level distribution than standard, also - no NPCs higher than 8th level in local area), and although I'm a tough GM I'll use high-CR monsters sparingly - I don't mind if PCs advance slightly slower as a result, advancement in 3e is plenty fast enough. I don't like having to base gp awards on the party's current circumstances - if the party are weak I'll run easier adventures, with correspondingly lower gp awards. I tend to give elite NPCs full equipment by level as per DMG, average NPCs get less. [/QUOTE]
