Selecting items also allows me to introduce a lot of 3rd party items that fit the individual PCs particularly well.īut all previous editions of the game told me, if only by random die roll, when one or more magic items should be present, and after 30+ years I'm used to that. Yeah, the treasure hoard link is basically Table 12-5, which I referenced to get the 6400gp total.Īs a GM I'm more likely to select a magic item than randomly roll one for treasure, because as a player there is nothing I find more frustrating than running across my 17th set of +1 studded leather armor or my 29th +1 longsword. I actually help my players by giving them what I think would help with their play style. When it comes to magic items, I never use random tables.
