Treasure Generator based on total value of treasure?

[harpy]

I've been looking for a random treasure generator that would suit my needs but so far I haven't found anything.

What I want is to be able to tell it:

Give me an amount of treasure worth x gp in value.

The ECL = x

And then just output a list from that.

As an example, I want 2000gp worth of 1st level treasure.

Is there anything out there that does that?

Well, the basic way to do that would be to set X = gp value, generate a treasure, subtract the value of the treasure from X, repeat until X < 0. Reroll if the treasure is more than some % greater than the remaining value of X.

This should not be difficult to do by hand using the DMG treasure tables. I do not know of any existing program to do this, but you could easily write one or do this process manually with an existing treasure generator.

EDIT: Note that getting the treasure to add up to exactly X without putting any gold coins in can be a very very complicated mathematical problem. Your best bet is to get as close as you can to X, then fill in the rest with coins if you really want an exact total.

The tables in the back of Magic Item Compendium are more-or-less well-suited to this ...
