Wishlists
It would help me a lot if you would list magic items that you would like at a given level. Please add a post that lists them like so:
Level 2: acrobat boots, battle standard of honor
Level 3: flame bracers, fortune's nod
Level 4: collar of recovery
Level 5: helm of seven deaths, armor of the charging wind, doppelganger armor
Level 6: polyglot gem, sacrificial weapon
That's just an example. Level 2 is struck through, because at level 2 you shouldn't acquire level 2 items as treasure. "Acrobat boots" is struck through, because the character acquired a battle standard of honor at that level.
You can list as many items per level as you want, and up to whatever level you want, but please cover at least the next four item levels, as treasures of those levels will be most likely to appear as treasure opportunities.
Because there are six players, the DMG recommends that the party have a chance to find two level+2 items, so those are more likely to appear. One PC might even end up with both of them.
I am most likely to place items that it makes sense for opposing forces to make use of, as it makes sense to me that monsters would collect and use items useful to them. They might also just hoard items, or plan on selling them, but if they can use them I think that's more interesting.
