(When I find time and I'm not at work I'll post a link to the document on my gdrive.)Īs promised Gdrive link to my full results.ģ. I really don't know what to make of it but found it interesting enough to stop lurking on these boards and post something. +1 costs on average 2.5 times more than it did in 3.5 leading to a cost ratio of 105.3:1 when figured against the average wealth a character should have in 5e compared to 3.5 In the case of specific items it becomes even more visible. When looking at the ratio of wealth from 3.5 to 5e we find that on average 3.5 has 42.1:1 more wealthy characters than 5e with even the characters taking the optimal route sitting at a 19.7:1 deficit. In most cases the price for an item in 5e is much higher than the price in 3.5 leading to an even greater wealth disparity. The striking bit about it to me comes when you look at not just the difference in wealth between 3.5 and 5e, which as we expect is heavily skewed in favor of 3.5 but in looking at the change in item prices between the editions. I might expect that, to compensate, they have increased treasure values (losing multiple 100k gp magic weapons to a nightwalker would require the game to absolutely shower the players with wealth to 'make up for'), but this is not the case. These charts assume no treasure hordes just xp grinding CR appropriate encounters and the resultant loot chart. But they can both destroy PCs expensive magic items, placing the party far behind the wealth-by-level (WBL) curve. I do not guarantee it is entirely correct but I gave it a good go. Now I'll couch this in disclaimers since I'm no math major the chart is intended only as a base point for figuring out how much wealth you want the characters to have.

The wealth calculator script can determine starting gold or appropriate wealth level for characters based on level, party size, and whether this is a new character or a party during the course of a campaign. 100k xp/hr & up to 200g/hr - Powerlevel and Gold. I ended up with two: a median wealth by level value and a wealth by level value if the characters gained optimal wealth at each level.

The thing I missed most when I switched to 5e from 3.5 was the nice concise character wealth by level chart that made generating higher level PCs quick and simple and so a while back I set out to build my own for 5e.
