Starting Gear Past First Level

Starting Gear Past First Level

When starting at a higher level, adventurers may spend their starting gold on the following equipment packages, organized by tier (tier 2: 5th–10th level, tier 3: 11th–16th level, tier 4: 17th–20th level). These packages represent popular and common choices for characters of a given class and level, intended to present an easy-to-use index. Characters with unique builds might prefer to swap out items or buy entirely different items.
