[QUOTE="tetrasodium, post: 8580462, member: 93670"] That's kind of missing the point though. Look at common 3.x things GM's let players start with and how %e treats them [LIST] [*]A free feat at level 1 [B]| [/B]Feats are optional & the system's crunch/math assumes they are not used so ignore that some are wildly imbalanced [*]A free magic item [B]|[/B] "Optional" & the system's math assumes they are not in use. Plus with the removal of body slots & simplification of almost all subjective equipment choices out these are pretty much always going to be an objectively more powerful thing in every way or trash to be sold [/LIST] It doesn't stop there though [LIST] [*]Familiar loss really hurts [I][B]| [/B][/I]spend an hour & nothing of value [*]carrying capacity light medium & heavy loads with penalties for medium & heavy [I][B]|[/B][/I][B] [/B]There is a variant rule that drops it from no penalty as long as under strength*15 pounds to strength*5 & quite a few races can double the already extremely generous capacity [*]etc [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
