Question on starting gear

[UniversalMonster]

Let's say I make a character that has a monster-type race with a level adjustment.

(lets say a 1st level character with a +3 LA).

The total ECL is 4. Everyone else in the party will be 4th level.

Here's my question: Should that character be given starting funds equal to a 1st level character or 4th level character?

I would use ECL. It seems pretty unfair to use character level only.

Depends on the DM, but I think its 4th level.

Use ECL instead of character level to determine how many experience points a monster character needs to reach its next level. Also use ECL to determine starting wealth for a monster character.

Rock! Thanks.
