Could use some help gearing up

[Brogarn]

I need to gear up a level 4 Rogue (Forgotten Realms) with 7000gp worth of stuff. I haven't played in 12 years and only vaguely recall backpacks, iron spikes and mirrors just in case you ran across someone you suspected was a vampire. I'll also need some leather armor and a rapier, but not sure if it's standard that they be magical or how much that stuff would cost. I looked through the equipment section of the Player's Handbook, but really didn't see a break down of gear beyond starting.

Anyways, can anyone point me to a resource or maybe give some advice on what I should have? Would be much appreciated!

This thread is the best equipment thread.

You might start by asking your DM if there's a limit to what you can spend on any one item. He might say 2000 gp (for example) and that would help you as you look through the list of magic weapons, armor, etc.

Edit: if you want an easy shopping list, here you go...

* +1 chain shirt 1250gp
* +1 silver rapier 2410 gp
* +1 cloak of resistance 1000gp
* some potions (at 50 gp each: cure light wounds, shield of faith +2, hide from undead, jump; or at 300 gp each: darkvision, cat's grace, cure moderate wounds, invisibility)

That'll spend a good chunk of your cash.

Excellent and much appreciated! Getting back in the swing of things hasn't been as easy as I imagined. Thanks for the help!
