If anything I’d say “let it inspire you”. It tells you approximate average accumulated wealth in gold for a character at each level. To paraphrase Freud: “sometimes a table is just a table”. Sorry but I don’t really have any other uses for the table. But, the story and role-playing that it gives the players agency to create and use, can be priceless. Now, having a castle won’t help much in your day to day adventuring or combat. It could be the money they use to run for political office or to raise a family of Owlbears. Higher level characters spend so little of what they make on their armor and weapons and ale and travel, that it allows them to spend their surplus on things like a castle, a sailing ship, a mage tower or a business. There is a part in a campaign where gold stops being the thing you buy equipment with, and shifts to being the thing you buy role-playing with. Because you have so so so much of it, it starts to lose its relevance. Wizards and copying spells cost understandably aside (a cost my bladesinger knows all too well) I also find that gold, especially at high levels, becomes almost worthless. Check out Xanathar’s under selling magic items for a base price. Magic items do have a gold price you can figure out if you want to use it. I strongly believe that the benefits of using good tactics far outweigh using magic items. Creature stats are calculated without factoring magic items, feats, or multi-classing as they are considered optional. And it can be empowering by encourage your players to work together and use good tactics and team work, rather than relying on magic items to “deus ex machina” them when they run into problems. It can be a blast of gritty realism and lots of fun. You don’t need any magic items to run a fun and successful campaign. The only other case that you have rightly mentioned is about plate armor, although it's been my experience that PCs rarely buy it, there are often opportunities to be gifted one as part of a scenario.ĭo you have other uses for this table that I am not aware of ? Wizards and their spellbooks are sort of an exception but still. That being said, at the time, most of the wealth was in magic items, and was actually fairly important in checking that the characters were properly geared, although of course the precision was not fantastic, as it could not tell if the magic items were optimized for the build or not.įor 5e, however, I’m not sure I’ll be using it, as magic items are not necessary for adaptation to one’s level of challenge, as magic items do not have a price, and as gold, overall, it not much use in most cases unless you allow a lot of magic items buying and selling, which has its own difficulty. Thanks, it's an interesting table and something that I was carefully tracking in 3e for our huge shared campaign. It would give an idea for how much wealth a character should have access too, for their level, when they finally can give them treasure. It could also work if the DM can’t give out regular treasure over the space of a few level-ups. This is just another option for DM’s to use (or not) as they see fit.
This list is more for DM’s who aren’t sure what an appropriate amount of gold would be at each of the levels. Doing so is like a pre-built story element you can give to your players just by changing how much gold they have access to. They each have their own nuances that can shake things up for your players. It can be fun to run a super-rich party and a super-poor party.

Of course you are free to reward your players with as much as you feel is appropriate for your campaign. These aren’t meant to be exact amounts anyways, it’s just a “ball-park” number for DM’s to use as a guide. But honestly the amounts are close enough that you could use either and it won’t break your game. I took an average (Using the DMG and Xanathar) and rounded up so the numbers were easier to remember.
I checked the article and the author didn’t elaborate much how they actually calculated the numbers. Note: this only gives an average number for the wealth that players might find, it does not account for expenditures on gear, lifestyle expenses, etc. *starting gear is not included in any entry after level 1

PC Wealth upon reaching level (Rounded Amount) You can also use this when making characters at higher levels. (ie: heavy armor users really shouldn’t be able to afford to purchase 1500g plate armor before level 6). It’s not exact but more an average to aim for so the players have an appropriate amount of money to spend at the proper levels. This is the approx wealth (in gold) each individual PC should have (based on the 5e DMG & XGE) at the start of each level.
