Thanks,
I think I will go with with 3/4ths of gold by level, and use the "no one item can be more than half of the starting gold rule".
I'm sure my players will have a ball going through the DMG. It's like a crazy shopping spree :)
Thanks man. Anyone have any tips on items and gear in general? I want to start them with good gear for the level, but I'm worried that I might make them "too" powerful.
So I have decided to start my newest campaign with the characters at 9th level. I'm a little stumped about how I should handle starting equipment (spells). Basically, what is the best method to "age" a character?
Also, if anyone has any cool encounter tips for El5-9 encounters I'd love to hear...
