Treasure allocation
As the PCs progress through the levels, treasure will be parceled out as detailed in the “Treasure” section of “Rules Compendium” (pp. 295-302). Magic Items will be described only by level and rarity and it is up to the party (as a team) to decide what they really are. Naturally, cash may be divided easily and (once the party returns to civilization), may be used to purchase additional Common magic items or non-magical equipment.
On the table below, I will roll a d20 for each of the four lines at a given level. For a party of six PCs, each roll is at +2. Magic item rarity is determined as follows: If the die roll is odd, the item is Common. If the die roll is even, the item is Uncommon. If the die roll is a Natural 20, the item is Rare.

The table below is included for historical purposes. It was implemented (retroactively) starting around 4th level and ended when the party reached 8th level.
