How much of the starting gold do most of you guys try to save when buying starting equipment?
Like, right now, I have a swashbuckler and if I just bought what I need (just like the bare bones can technically survive by the rules of the game stuff) I would have maybe 75 or 80 gold left over. I then used that gold to buy a bunch of stuff that would make sense from an RP perspective for a wandering adventurer to have and now I've got about 10gp left. Is there a rule of thumb when it comes to spending vs saving starting gold? Is buying a bunch of extra stuff cause it "makes sense" a good way to go about it? Does it just boil down to the sorts of campaigns my friends and I play? Am I over thinking a small aspect of the game cause I have too much time on my hands at work today (almost certainly)?
maybe a bit of overthinking but personally I spend everything I can. The stores in game might not have the stranger stuff available like monk weapons or one with trip if that's the way you want to play.
Definitely makes sense for a character that needs/could use more unusual or specific things.
