Perhaps I'm an old school fossil, but I'd simply say to the player that wants to start up an 8th level paladin character the following:"Well, paladin, after you spend several days praying and training in the local temple, Father Bruno came to you, and gave you a wondrous gift from the temple armoury--a +2 Bastard sword, and a suit of mithril full plate. Father Bruno explained that the temple smiths work long and hard to supply the temple with good arms and weapons, though such items as these are rare, and only a few are made every few years. Father Bruno has heard of your exploits and your great faith to the temple, and desires that such a champion of the faith as you should have the best they can provide as you go forth to fight against the forces of darkness. Father Bruno furthermore explained to you that the temple can provide such a great champion of the faith as you with other masterwork quality armour and weapons, and assist you with gaining other mundane gear for your expeditions as deemed necessary. Father Bruno blessed you, and prayed over you before you left the courtyard of the temple to join your companions for the great journey."Having said that, I'd then say, simply, dude, this is what you have for now, along with about 5,000 gp. You already have your magic horse. Don't worry about it. Just deal with it. Fight the good fight with what you got. It's a harsh, brutal world, and things will no doubt get much worse before they ever get better. But, with honour and courage, and you kicking ass and taking names, you should be doing fine eventually.There you go. No walmart necessary.<img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />Semper Fidelis,SHARK</blockquote>
