hey playgrounders.


I'm curious if there is a formula somewhere for how much wealth a dragon has managed to accumulate based on their age.

I'm aware that you could just double/triple/whatever the standard loot per their age category's CR, but I was curious if there was something specific TO DRAGONS

my party is hunting one, so it's kinda urgent.

There's not. The Draconomicon has sample hoards for most CRs but that's the most I know of.

The SRD has "Triple Standard" in the Treasure line.

Roll for treasure normally for their CR, but do it three times. There's the formula.

Here's my suggestion. Inform them politely that the dragon has the majority of his wealth tied up in non-liquid holdings, with the remnant in dispersed cash equivalents. It's better than admitting you had to fall back and punt.

Though a dragon banker sounds like a pretty fun NPC or villain. Has a bunch of kobolds inventing simple computers so he can double check his analysis, maintains relationships with a variety of kingdoms and merchants. Monocle most likely required. Defaulting on his loans is not recommended.

Dragons do indeed have a special treasure value for their hoard, and indeed it's right within their entry: Dragons, unlike most monsters, get Triple Standard treasure for their CR. That is the special, age-category-based, number for a Dragon's hoard.
