I have broached this topic before, but now I have a specific question. A player in my campaign would like to begin a character that has foresworn material possessions, but is not an exalted character. How can I 'compensate' her character given the fact that she will not be eligible for the Vow of Poverty feat that is meant specifically for lawful good characters?
The possessions she will be allowed to have are: bedroll, tent, clothing, food, water (and waterskin), flint and steel to make fire, cooking implements, torches and sacks/backpack. That's it.
Also, in case her character rescinds in the future and begins gaining material possessions - should I let her keep the old abilities (whatever they will be) she has gained from foregoing them, since she will be so far behind others in terms of the wealth, or perhaps let her keep part (and if so how big a part) of her old abilities - or should I slam her with loosing them all?
Thanks for your help!
