Message: <blockquote data-quote="Terraism" data-source="post: 1190769" data-attributes="member: 278">I'm starting a campaign for a group of sub-first level characters this coming monday, from a small town (84 residents, including children.) The with two exceptions, the highest level characters are 3rd level in various NPC classes (the exceptions are a 9th level half-elemental bard & a 5th level human wizard.) The PC's are - mostly - sixteen years, and the game is going to start during a midsummer festival, at the start of which they each recieved a "coming of age" present. The problem, as you've probably guessed, is that I'm not entirely certain what I'd like to give them each as a present. The things that come to mind violate the GP limit for characters of this level, but at the same time, I want it to be something they'll hang on to for a long time. Any help would be appreciated. The characters are as follows: <ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Mikel Prestar: A human paladin, Mikel is the serious member of the group, though he still shows his age from time to time, especially when around Tusani & the genasi. More often than not, Mikel is trying to convince the aforementioned pair not to pursue some course of action - though, given how rarely he convinces them to do so, he is more often caught participating. </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Tusani Neay: A halfling tiefling, Tusani is a consumate scoundrel, and everybody's friend. The general instigator of the group, she has a talent for getting into trouble and poking her nose (or tail) where it doesn't belong. Usually extremely bouncy, being alone with nature is about the only thing that calms her down. </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Korenk Grimrock: A half-hobgob ranger, Korenk lives outside the town with his father, usually preferring to spend time on his own, hunting and wandering. Still, he fell into the group years ago, another victim of Tusani's charisma, and usually tags along on whatever they might be doing today. Korenk loves archery, and is a skilled shot, especially for his age. </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Otheym Culnane: Almost as vivacious as Tusani, this air genasi psionic warrior flits from idea to idea like a frog on a hot rock. Friendly and outgoing, he is Mikel's only equal at swordplay in the group, and the two of them have bonded after weeks of practice with sticks and other makeshift weapons. (His mother is the 9th level bard.) </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">(Name Unknown): A human psion from the town's richest family, this young lad is a snotty fellow who is accepted into the group grudgingly at best, if only because they are roughly the same age (and heis a half-brother to the genasi, who adamantly insists the lout can be reformed.) His father is a consumate jeweler, and his mother a greedy snob - like mother, like son. </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Taog Goodard: A young human wizard, Taog is shy and quiet, prefering his serene books to the wild outdoors - but, growing up with the other five, that was seldom an option, as they all viewed their solemn duty as getting Taog to "liven up." He gets along well with Mikel, who is the only other in the group at all interested in books.</li> </ul>It's a bit more complicated than that, but there's the gist. If anyone has some ideas for me, I'd be most grateful. As of now, I've been inclined to give masterwork items to the lot of them, but that's an *awful* lot of money.</blockquote>
