Initial Funding & Experience
The campaign starts at 3rd level. This allows characters to have better survivability
than regular low level characters.
Beginning characters will get 3250xp with which to create a character.
Multiclassing is allowed and xp penalties apply for classes with more than one level gaps
between them, as described in the Multi-classing section of the Player's
Handbook. To create new characters use the Heroic Point Buy Method that I described before.
Funds
Each PC will receive 2700 gp to purchase equipment or create magic items (e.g. scrolls,
etc...) Magic items can only be purchased from the minor items category and a single item
can cost no more than 2500 gp. This basically allows you to purchase multiple items or
create multiple scrolls without being too over-the-top.
This is the basic guidance for item purchaes. Only magic items in the DMG that are
normally available through a minor treasure roll.
Armor & Weapons
Weapon max gp cost 2375gp - melee or ranged
Armor max gp cost 1200gp - basically up to scale mail
Shield max gp cost 1200gp - basically any shield
Potions
No more than 10 potions max gp cost 250gp/potion - up to 4 can be duplicates (i.e. 2
potions of spider climb ,4 of cure light wounds and 4 assorted others)
Rings
Max cost 2000gp
Scrolls
No more than 10 Arcane/Divine Scrolls - 1st Level spells only. Each scroll has 1-2 spells
- Randomly generated
Wands
Wand max gp cost - 750gp - Only one wand allowed per character - Max number of charges
available - Please do not abuse this one.
Wondrous Items - Are you on drugs???
Minor Wondrous Items only - Max gp cost 1000gp - Only one item - Please don't abuse this
one either.
Artifacts - Yeah, right!!
I hope this helps to clear the messed up numbers I gave first. This is a very cursory look
at the items (i.e I didn't get a chance to look over each and every one of the items for
balance) so I still reserve the right to deny any item that might tilt the scales too
much. Be sensible in your selections and remember all magic items must be accounted for
when you are creating the background for the character. The more outrageous the item the
better justified it must be.
Those that desire to get additional experience points during character creation have an
