Hello, @JeremyECrawford ! Got a #dnd5e#question concerning my Christmas present Xanathar's Guide ?: Are the magic item tables on page 135 intended for a certain number of PCs? Can't find the assumed number anywhere. Thx a lot in advance! Have a great 2018!

Funny that there’s so many monsters published that are straight up immune to Fighters and Rogues, then, since they’re expected to never acquire magical weapons. The section I referred to in Xanathar's Guide to Everything addresses that very issue.
Nov 02, 2015 Information here has been taken from the DMG (page 128 – “Crafting a Magic Item”; page 129-130 “Selling Magic Items”, and the Magic chapter in general) and the PHB (“Downtime Activities - Crafting” page 187), as well as several hours research online into blogs on other players considerations on crafting, and modern day armour, weapon, jewellery, and general goods crafting. From the DMG p.128: 'Magic items are the DM's purview, so you decide how they fall into the party's possession.' But we do know how to craft magic items. If your DM wishes you to be able to commission such an item, it could have been produced by someone following the crafting suggestions on DMG.

Oh absolutely, I run for a group of 9 players and am often accused of being a bit stingy with items. Having some kind of benchmark to set expectations against would be handy, but could quickly turn into a stick to beat the DM with I suppose. The magic item section in Xanathar's Guide gives you clear benchmarks for a campaign.

So would the assumption be that a campaign with more players would have fewer items per capita? I appreciate that a lot of the assumptions in the game break down when there are more than 5 or 6 players!

Treasure is a DM-controlled campaign tool. It's not an expected part of a character's progression. More PCs can mean fewer items per person, unless the DM wants to give out more items. See 'Are Magic Items Necessary in a Campaign?' in Xanathar's Guide for more information. #DnDhttps://t.co/ia5MLduCxq

In parts I agree, in parts I disagree (as a GM and player of 30 years play exp). Usually players expect that if one character gets an item at least in a 'big part of the story' all characters get an item. Does not need in the same evening, but GMs should even it out.

The treasure rules assume a typical campaign (levels 1–20) generates 100 magic items—a mix of consumables and permanent items. Unless your party has more than 100 people in it, everyone has a chance to get something. See Xanathar’s Guide for more info. #DnDhttps://t.co/ddvfJD0U2o

Hey, you’re right it does! I completely missed the ‘behind the design’ box with the underlying assumptions. Thanks for your patience!No problem!
