Let's say you've got $25,000 to spend on a vehicle. You can use that money to buy yourself a sporty car that can go like a blue streak. Or you can get a super-efficient hybrid. Or you can get a pickup truck that isn't fast and isn't efficient but gets you free beer any time a friend needs to move. Any of these might be useful depending on your needs and preferences.On the other hand, if you've got $5,000 to spend and your friend has $50,000, then assuming equal automotive savvy on both sides, your friend is going to drive a better car than you. End of story.The goal of D&D should be to have some classes be sports cars, some be hybrids, and some be pickup trucks, in an environment where all of those vehicles are about equally useful, but to give everyone the same budget (with the size of that budget depending on party level).</blockquote>
