I'm not sure if board policy allows us to post that information or not. I personally cannot recall the amount, but would judge (4d4)x10gp to be approximately right. Check with your DM before using that, though.

Edit: I'm assuming you mean in 3.5. I've not got a clue as to what is appropriate in 4e.

Should have it. I can't go as it is blocked at work.

The starting gold for a wizard is 3d6.

I think I can tell you that it's on page 111 of the PHB and that none of the above mentioned amounts are correct (and I'm pretty sure the SRDs won't have it either, just as they don't list xp for levels and other things core to the system).

3d4x10 is the correct amount.

Starting gold isn't in the SRD, actually. Neither is wealth by level. The SRD exists to provide 3rd party publishers the information they need to produce supplements, and they don't need starting gold.

It was on p58 of the PHB. If you're talking about the gold that you can get instead of items that's different.

along the same lines as this, where is the epic wealth by level chart, I could not find it in the epic level hand book so either its somewhere else or I may be going blind.

Thanks

Table 3-10 on page 122 of the Epic Level Handbook has the per encounter average treasure values of Encounter Levels 21 through 40. From here, you can extrapolate how much wealth a PC should earn each level (13 encounters per level).

3d4x10 is the correct amount.

The SRD for some reason does have the starting gold for Psionic classes (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/psionic/classes/index.htm#randomStartingGold). And the Wizard and the Psion should be the same, no? So there's a legal way to figure out that Swooper is right. :smallwink:
