Question on gear during chargen...
by Xhaosdaemon » Fri Oct 21, 2011 2:06 am
So I noticed that if you a Moderately Equipped you have all the gear a Poorly Equipped person has plus the gear for Moderately Equipped. Does that mean you get the random starting weapons and armor for both Poorly Equipped and Moderately equipped? (that is how I ended up doing it and the person sold the armor and weapons she didn't want for a bit of extra cash, but it doesn't specifically say one way or another that you get both sets of arms and armor although it implies it)

That's a good question!
If I were the GM I'd say no to getting the starting arms and armor of less privileged PCs, but on the other hand, it makes sense....
A more affluent character would have had the means to acquire a collection of items. Perhaps you could rule that a wealthier character can only sell or share his surplus arms and armor if the adventure starts in the PC's home town, where the extra gear is stashed, hanging above the fireplace or hidden in a mattress, etc. If the game starts in mid action or the PCs meet for the first time in some remote location, then sharing surplus gear wouldn't be handy. If the surplus gear was complimentary to what the character already has, then of course he or she would bring it along on an adventure and in that case be able to share some of the lighter spare items.
Again, great question.
