Question about creating an Artificer above 1st level

[Patryn of Elvenshae]

The excell sheet is nice, but with retain essance, and consumable items, you really cant guess what the reserve would be.

I figured they balanced.

I also figured that, at a rate of 12.5-to-1 (GP to XP crafting ratio), she'd probably run out of GP before she ran out of Craft Reserve.

Go read the PHB / DMG. Check the section on creating characters above 1st-level. Pay special attention to the section on determining a character's starting wealth and XP total.

Those are RAW.

For completeness, here's the exact text from the DMG (3.0 Version):

Ah, thank you for finally posting rules. I can see why you rule the way you do, now.

And knowing is half the battle!

G.I. JOE!
