Message: <blockquote data-quote="BlackMoria" data-source="post: 2913540" data-attributes="member: 424">A question to the OP.  Is this the same game mentioned in another thread in which the game is starting off at 10th level and some players are using existing characters with their equipment (I believe the Paladin character had a Holy Avenger) and the new characters created at 10th aren't allowed to pick their items?If that is the case, what you as the DM owe the players is fairness.  Having existing 10th level characters with their original equipment starting a game along side newly created 10th level characters who are not allowed to select their magic items based on wealth quidelines is, to put it frankly, blatantly unfair to the new players.Either everyone starts off the game with magic items based on a value you have set or noone does.  To do otherwise is to disadvantage the new characters in relation to the existing characters.I would imagine that the players that are complaining are the one's with the new character, right?   And rightly they should.  Unless you could assure me as a player that I would be getting a whole lot of loving shortly into the start of the campaign, I would be offended that I could not pick my magic items and would be under equiped to the wealth guidelines and the party's paladin gets to keep his shiny Holy Avenger and god knows whatever items he has.Further, if the game is the same one in the other thread, you do yourself a disservice to start this thread and not come clean on all the details when you ask your question.  The responses you have gotten so far may be considerably different had the fact that existing characters keep their original equipment and new characters get to fight with whatever scraps you as DM deem to give them at campaign start.</blockquote>
