[QUOTE="skelso, post: 4014807, member: 54189"] I saw this question a few days ago and it got me thinking. I got my degree in math and I'm a math teacher, so I really enjoy looking for patterns in things. I just spent a few hours looking through the DMG hoping to uncover a hidden pattern that would tie everything together nicely and let me write out (were I willing to crunch the numbers) an accurate table to any level. However, I discovered that the absence of a pattern carries right through to every facet of the wealth and treasure system. Nothing is consistent, even within itself. It almost seems as though WoTC hired an intern from a temp agency to write their wealth and treasure tables. The worst part is, if you played a character and that character received exactly average amounts of wealth based on the treasure tables, the amount of treasure that PC would have would IN NO WAY resemble the amount of wealth the wealth tables say you're supposed to start with by level. All that being said, there is a very basic pattern that runs from levels 32 to 40, I continued that pattern out to level 60 and built a wealth table based on that. Keep in mind that this table is in no way official. It couldn't possibly be because the actual table doesn't stick to a pattern for more than a few levels, but it least it gets you in the ball park of where the table would likely have you. Level Wealth 40 13600000 41 15100000 42 16600000 43 18300000 44 20000000 45 21900000 46 23800000 47 25900000 48 28200000 49 30500000 50 32800000 51 35300000 52 37800000 53 40500000 54 43400000 55 46300000 56 49400000 57 52500000 58 55600000 59 58900000 60 62200000 [/QUOTE]
