As a general guide, how much magic should PC's have compared to the NPC equivalents?

E.g. the DMG suggests that a 6th level NPC should have up to 6,500gp-worth of gear - should players expect to get 50% more - 100% more - evenmore than that?

I would value your suggestions.

05-10-05, 12:04 PM Table 5-1 in the DMG, page 135. Character wealth by level. This is the amount that a PC is assumed to have, per level, in a standard game. Any individual game can vary of course, but this is the average the game was playtested with and balanced around.

6th level PC; 13,000 gp.

It's page 135 of the 3.5 DMG.

It's page 145 of the 3.0 DMG.

If you are talking about the DMG II, then I have absolutely no idea. ;)

Thanks for that - I knew that I had seen it somewhere, but couldn't put my finger on it.

As it turns out, my group have around 15,000gp each on average, but I think that the problem lies with this being concentrated in two or three main items (18,000gp+) with a few lesser items scattered around.

Perhaps I should hold back on more major goodies for a while and let the players without much get few specifically targeted items.

The Ranger/Scout is going to get the +1 sonic bow he has been hankering for!!
