Sample starting equipment.

[deuxhero]

I saw a thread on this for Starfinder. I don't know of any equivalent for Pathfinder, so I thought I'd make a list myself since it's always one of the biggest time sinks in character generation for me. I’ll only use core and UE for simplicity (I’d include the class’s native book if I knew Gunslinger or Occultist well enough to include an example for them).

Basic stuff (45.05GP)

Grooming Kit 1gp

Pathfinder’s Kit 12GP

I didn't miss anything obvious here did I?

[Senko]

I think you did though i cant place my finger on what... Also summoners are a sort of dual class martial and caster.

[PCScipio]

Backpack
Blanket
Bedroll
Waterskin
Rations

Those are are all in the pathfinder kit they listed under basic equipment. However i figured out what was bothering me if I remember right the pathfinder kit has string and thread but no rope which no adventurer should be without.

[deuxhero]

I put rope under class specific stuff because 10 pounds is a lot for anyone that doesn't have a positive strength mod... which is most characters (also, for the record, a dagger is also in the kit).

Summoner would be something like

Quote:

Basic stuff

Studded Leather
Material component
Sling (and longspear if strength based, but strength summoners are super rare)
Whatever weapon(s) you want your eidolon to wield (if you are going for a weapon wielder)

For a total 75.05GP+whatever weapons you want

One of the advantages of breaking down the stuff to components is most classes don't really need much work beyond what's listed.

Hold up now.

[deuxhero]

It's legit!

[Senko]

Ah thats why i didnt see rope in basic stuff. Also if witch has gp left over may irecommend a masterwork backpack which adds 2 to your strength for carrying capacity.

Having price is great, but also having weight would be very helpful.

Great work on getting all of this in one place!

[Heather 540]

May I suggest a kunai? It works as not only a backup weapon with two damage types, but as a crowbar and a piton as needed.

[deuxhero]

Basic stuff weighs 43 pounds. Dumping the bedroll, 5/7ths the rations, gear maintenance kit and extra clothes on a donkey lowers it by 18 pounds to 25. 9 strength is sufficient to carry that, and 8 would be too if not for the weight of the clothes on your back. For a small character, basic stuff weighs 16.5+6 with the same split. A minimum of 8 strength is needed to avoid encumbrance.

Martial contingencies weighs 19 pounds (9.5 for small), but 10 of that is from the bizarrely massive sling bullets that weigh half a pound each (In reality they're closer to 8 grams). If the GM insist/PFS, give the BSF 18 or so of your bullets to reduce it to 10 (5) pounds.

With studded leather that's a total of 55 (!) pounds for medium characters and 31.5 for a small character (neither including clothes). Replacing the studded leather with lammalar cuirass drops this to 43 and 25.5 (Basically strength isn't remotely as dumpable for dex fighters at low level as people think)

Never buy rope.

String or twine then.

Also, I consider a stretcher to be essential equipment. You drag a stretcher. You can drag 5X what you carry, and a stretcher can hold 300#. I'd get stretchers before I'd get a donkey.

I'd use candles and a candle lamp for lighting.

[deuxhero]

String and twine are in the pathfinder's kit.

[Senko]

However you get it, its still rope.
