Hi guys
What are people's opinions on how close the treasure in the AP is to the average PC wealth per level charts?
I am prompted by reading the shadow encounter in Sixfold, and have read people suggest that if PCs haven't bought magic weapons prior to entering the Knot (level 4) it is there own fault
I am not certain how the whole party would be able to afford this. I admit I haven't read all the treasure that the Bastards gang has between them but it seems unlikely that the players will have 6000gp equivalent each by the end of the play (unless I have misread some things)
For a further example, as written I cannot see how there is almost 4000 gp (1000gp for level 2 times party of 4) in the sewers
Has anyone added significantly more treasure? If so I'm guessing this was done in the side quests in BoE?
Thanks for your help
When I ran my party through, I think they had only 1 magic weapon between them (taken from the Bastard of Erebus if I recall correctly). However, my PCs are notoriously bad at accumulating and managing wealth. I believe it would have been possible for them to have entered the Knot with more than one enchanted weapon, had they chosen to do so rather than invest in a lot of consumables.
My suggestion is to wait and see where they are closer to the Asmodean Knot, even to the point where you make a decision after they finish the play. Depending on how they do with the play, they could make off like bandits, and if they don't, it would be really easy to add a magic weapon to Aberian Arvanxi's manor, or in the backpack they find at the beginning of the Knot.
