Starting Equipment

Your character's equipment consists of Armor, Weapons, Supplies, and other gear that will assist him in his adventuring career. All items and equipment have a rarity that determines how easy or difficult they are to obtain. Generally speaking, your character will only have access to Common and Very Common equipment to start with. Your GM will provide you with guidelines for purchasing equipment, typically in the form of a starting gold value around 100 gold pieces (or gp).

Typical Starting Gear

You starting gear will vary based on your character's class and proficiency, but you will typically start your career with light to medium Armor, a Melee Weapon, a Range Weapon (or a few if using thrown weapons), and possibly a Shield if your proficiency and combat style allows. The type of equipment you purchase is limited by your Proficiency and your available funds. Characters also typically begin with an Adventure's Pack, which includes many of the mundane gear required for the average adventurer.
