How much wealth are NPC's with PC class levels supposed to receive? I've been told various things, such as character WBL -1, or having the same as character WBL. Does anyone know which way it's supposed to be? :smallconfused:

Unless I'm mistaken, it's not a function of WBL; NPC's have almost equivalent gear at the lowest levels and are significantly behind by the mind-levels. Check page 127 of the DMG, or page 227 in Magic Item Compendium for the item-level-based table that book uses.

MIC also has a breakdown of NPC WBL vs. PC WBL in addition to the quick and dirty (and convenient) item level/character level setup.

This is mostly important because the PCs make a living by killing the NPCs and if they had identical WBL, the party fighter would no longer be at the proper wealth tier after the party killed the enemy warlord.

Well, I did find this converter thing where you add in the base CR and their wealth, and it adjusts their CR based on that, so I guess said warlord or NPC adventurers would just be of a higher CR.

WBL for NPCs is what you need it to be
