Why oh why didn't they put starting cash in the SRD?

[DeathOfRats]

I know that someone must know this info. I am away at work and need to know how much starting cash a cleric gets, can anyone help me please?

Also, what equipment as regional extra's do elves get in forgotten realms please?

Cheers!

Just a quick guess: It's not Open Game Content?

Starting cash is not open game content? How wacked is that???!

Nothing involved in Character Creation is Open Game Content. Neither are most of the examples, or monster descriptions, or anything that really makes buying the book worthwhile. Otherwise, why would anyone ever buy the book?

On the chance that this is OGC, is there anywhere I can find starting gold for epic characters?

 

[Ranger REG]

Because it is up to the game designers who are using the SRD as a toolkit for their own game product to decide if PCs will have starting cash, credit, or whatever monetary or requisition system they have.

While the SRD serves as a quick-reference guide as a secondary role, it is primarily a game design toolkit for publishers.

The cleric gets 5d4 X 10.

Elves get... well it depends on the type of elf. I'm guessing moon elf, so they get

A) mw rapier, longsword or longbow
b) Breastplate and 20 mw arrows
C) Scrolls of Barkskin and Cure Moderate Wounds.

Thank you very much! I'm actually playing a Ghaele (as you can tell from the post below), but elf cleric seems closest for starting equipment at first level.

A Ghaele with one class level is not the same as a first-level character.

What ECL will your character be starting at?
