starting eguipment

[swords75]

I could not find in the phb how much starting equipment a player gets. any one else find this.

Also nothing about npc gear by level.

 

[Mort_Q]

100 gp, regardless of class at first level.

See the PHB page 210 for the "100 gp" number. Also, about NPC gear:

8. Choose Equipment. Select weapons and armor from Chapter 7 of the Player’s Handbook, taking into account class and race.
You can give the NpC a magic item of a suitable level, but if he or she is an antagonist, count the item as part of the treasure for the adventure. (See “Awarding Treasure,” page 125, for more information.)

If you gave the NpC a magic item that grants a bonus to defenses, you must also subtract the magic threshold from that bonus, as noted in the sidebar.
