Enough gold so the cavalier can buy a warhorse. :P

[seekerofshadowlight]

well the warhorse is free, animal companion and all that

This is what I did

Cavalier...5d6x10gp... 175gp
Oracle.....3d6x10gp... 105gp
Summoner...3d6x6gp ... 105gp
Witch......2d6x10gp ...70gp
Alchemist..4d10x10gp ...140gp
Inquisitor.4d6x10gp ...140gp

As to why,the cavalier is a front line full bab class he gains what the other front linners do. The oracle , while being full caster can use armor and some weapons much like a bard[ I may drop this to 2d6]. A summoner uses armor, and weapons and has casting like a bard 3d6 seem to fit. The witch full caster no armor 2d6 fit. The alchemist needs armor and gear to make his powers work, 4d6 seemed a nice fit to me. The Inquisitor seemed in line with cleric on what they need armor and weapon wise so I gave them 4d6

The only one I am unsure of is the oracle really I keep bouncing between 2d6 and 3d6

Yes, I'd like to see this too. And I haven't been able to find starting gold for the NPC classes either. This could be important for some kinds of NPC's, and also if I wanted to run a low-powered game.

I've been asking around for this too. There was another thread about it during the previous revision that got about 4 replies, and I mentioned it in the "Welcome to the Final Playtest" thread but in none have I see an answer from someone, well, official.

For what it's worth I think SeekerOfShadowLight's figures look spot on.

We will have this chart in the book, for sure. I will see if I can get Jason to whip something together and pop in here with a clarification soon.

For the time being I think Seeker's suggestion is certainly a good patch.

While these could change for the final book, the iconics were created using the following starting gold:

Alchemist: as Bard
Cavalier: as Fighter
Inquisitor: as Rogue
Oracle: as Cleric
Summoner: as Wizard
Witch: as Wizard

That should work for now!

Wait...the iconics already have stats? Hmmm.
