All characters start at 5th level, and have 8,000dr with which to purchase equipment, mounts and pack animals and so on. Henchmen start with equipment appropriate to their station, with the PCs paying for anything additional. Hirelings must be paid for by the PCs.
 
  
 
As 5th level characters, they will have an expected standard of living of dr/month. If they wish to establish some investments to begin to cover this, any money invested has a return of 3% per month for relatively secure investments, and d10%-d4% for riskier investments (which may make a loss).
