With one exception, the Wizard.The wizard gets a spell book with a value of over 1000gp, perhaps even over 2000gp depending on which rules you use and how many spells are in the book at 1st level.  Granted the wizard needs this at 1st level to even function so maybe it should just be overlooked.But then again maybe not. I have two questions for the community to consider...1) If a character takes his 1st level of wizard after he has already taken several levels of other classes, should he be made to pay for the value of his spell book that he now gains?2) Should Other classes be granted some other class based starting equipment of similar value to the wizards book?  If so, what should that value and/or the nature of that equipment be?Thoughts?</blockquote>
