We ALL came into this game knowing that we weren't SUPPOSED to have gear/companions when we started, and might not be able to obtain them for some time, yet some of you are pushing for "I want my stuff now". Why would you create a character mentality that won't leave without their gear when it seems to me that the DM made it clear in the first post that we would be expected to do just that?Starting Gold and Equipment: None (characters will have the opportunity to salvage gear and supplies when they escape); mention of significant items in the character's background (with a value of up to 1/2 of the starting gold for a 6th level character) may lead to the discovery of those items at some point in the game.
A note on familiars and animal companions: Sadly, any such creatures were slain when the characters were imprisoned. Characters will have the opportunity to acquire new ones during game play. Paladin special mounts are not affected by this stipulation (ie, they are still available). Psi-Crystals would've been confiscated as gear and may be able to be recovered (see equipment, above).
