[QUOTE="Lord Sessadore, post: 4865467, member: 57255"] Hmm ... that sounds like a pretty reasonable idea. It's a little 3.5 with the buying free-for-all, but at level 2 or 3 you shouldn't have enough choice for it to be a pain. To put some numbers to covaithe's idea: Total value of parcels for level 1: 3760 gp 3760/5 = 752 gp 752*0.8 = 601.6 gp If we include the 100 gp level 1 allowance, then a new 2nd level character has just enough to buy a 3rd level item and some other stuff, and not enough to buy two 1st level items. Seems just about perfect for what this proposal wants to accomplish. The numbers using the same method for a new level 3 character: Total value of parcels for level 1 and 2: 8080 gp 8080/5 = 1616 gp 1616*0.8 = 1292.8 gp That's enough to buy a small variety of items. Highest volume is three 1st level items, highest power is either one 5th level item or a 4th with a 1st. With the 100 gp allowance from 1st level, you could add a 1st level item to your 5th, or upgrade the 4/1 to 4/2. Of course, going with a 3rd level item would give you more flexibility.
