[QUOTE="Tormyr, post: 6358708, member: 6776887"] I would still give the player just the starting equipment and gold unless the character has gone through the same epic adventures that the rest of the party is going through. The other characters can offer up gear or gold. Presumably the last character's gear and gold are still available. The adventure probably has plenty of new items available. If there is not a story reason for the character to have more starting gold than normal, I would not give it to them. They do not really need it, and it takes away some of the progression that the character goes through. Now having said that, if you had a 20th level character die and not be resurrected for some reason, the replacement character probably has at least the highest level mundane armor, weapons and equipment available. There probably is at least 1 magic item they picked up on their travels to level 20. That makes story sense to me, but making a lower level new character equivalent to all the others just because does not necessarily work for me. [/QUOTE]
