[QUOTE="Lazybones, post: 13330, member: 143"] Well, to give you the rules answer first, I used the standard character creation guidelines, with 2700gp for a ECL 3 character (+300gp for his region bonus as per the FRCS, being from Waterdeep). 3E wands with a first level spell are 750gp. I know that technically Cal is using CLW as a bard spell, which would make it more expensive, but I didn't see anything in the rules that banned a bard from using a healing wand made by a cleric. Looking over Cal's equipment sheet again, I think he went a tad over 3000gp, but when I created the characters I just ballparked rather than counting up every item. As for the in-story answer, I believe Cal mentioned early on in the story that he got his healing wand from a friend in Waterdeep. I imagine he just bought the others (it took me a while to get used to the over-the-counter style of magic in Faerun, but I guess playing Baldur's Gate I/II got me adjusted to the idea). He's a skilled woodcarver (although I haven't yet integrated that skill into the story), so between his artistic talents and his performing abilities he was able to save up a lot of extra coin before setting out on his journey. Maybe I will address how he and some of the other characters acquired their starting equipment as the story goes on. Lazybones [/QUOTE]
