Okay. Was just unsure because the back ground gives items with no real value such as poorly wrought maps from your homeland. Thank you.
Several backgrounds give equipment of significant value, though, and some even give you outright cash.

See, to my mind the Dwarf with a Heavy Crossbow is "typical" of the Dwarven warrior and soo "fits better" due to the stereotype.Playing a Dwarf Ranger and the Heavy Crossbow just seemed to fit better with the character. As far as the Studded leather, No dex cap and no stealth disadvantage. The other option was leather armor which is 1 points less than studded.
Playing against type is fun but some things just make sense. While elves are known for there bows, dwarves are known for crafting metal, be it armor or metal weapons. So growing up using a crossbow instead of a bow makes sense, eventually 1+1 still equals 2.See, to my mind the Dwarf with a Heavy Crossbow is "typical" of the Dwarven warrior and soo "fits better" due to the stereotype.
The longbow you can eventually fire twice without needing the Crossbow Expert feat due to the loading property of the crossbow... And he can start with leather, and buy studded leather after the adventure begins, giving the player something to work for.
But, as I said swapping out such things is very reasonable if you don't want to bother with rolling for starting gold.
Actually, dwarves are known as excellent craftsmen, whether metal, gemstones, stonework, wood, brewing, or whatever. Saying they are only known for crafting metal just enforces the stereotype. This is why "some things just make sense" to you and/or the player.Playing against type is fun but some things just make sense.

(FYI, "studded leather" was never even a real armor... Ringed leather was and would be better if you want "realism" in the game...).
These gentlemen would like a word with you.
Out back.
