[QUOTE="Man in the Funny Hat, post: 8382421, member: 32740"] After the first adventure any differences in cost are close to irrelevant. Only the initial outfitting of the character really makes money a factor in equipment decisions. There are a few exceptions for some things. Acquiring plate mail would be one that my 1E AD&D games make a factor for a while longer, firstly because the 400gp cost may require a few more adventures to save up for, and secondly because I've traditionally required that plate mail almost always must be custom-fit for each individual, and that takes specific characters to the sidelines for a significant period early on in the campaign. Usually players will find other things for PC's to do and enable just skipping past the time required, but sometimes players can be kinda obnoxious and want to keep adventuring non-stop, delaying armor fittings for PC's that are trying to acquire it.
