GM Advice / Question Regarding Treasure in APs


Advice


I've ran several APs now, mostly RotRL and Kingmaker, but have yet to have completed one with a group.

My question though, is regarding creature treasure. While running the APs and handing out only listed treasure (ie, a room is listed as having X amount, a creature is listed as having X items and X gold) it seems as though my players don't QUITE keep up with their Wealth by Level.

If a creature is listed in the encounter as See Bestiary, should I be giving out the appropriate treasure for that creature as listed in the Bestiary?

As an example, lets say an AP had several Gnoll encounters. A quick read through the encounter would normally say See Beastiary Listing. Lets also assume these encounters don't have any "treasure" listing.

The Beastiary listing for Gnolls says: NPC Gear (Leather Armor, Heavy Wood Shield, Battleaxe, Longbow with 20 arrows, other treasure).

Do you award the treasure as appropriate for that Gnoll encounter? Or do you assume they are empty handed, since the AP doesn't say anything about treasure?


Of course you include the treasure from the Bestiary entry in this case.


Yes, you most certainly include any treasure from their Bestiary listing, both for scripted encounters and any random encounters.
