All right, as-listed in the PHB the starting packages are fairly poor quality. I'd like to create some alternatives for my players, but I'm having some trouble working on them. So I'd like some help. Here are the restrictions:
All packages must be worth less than 250gp (excluding items listed below).
Each package must contain 10 healing salves (these are homebrew).
Each package must contain 1 masterwork weapon and 1 masterwork suit of armor.
Each package must contain 1 backup weapon (nonmasterwork).
Each package must be designed for a specific role (such as giving the tank the heaviest gear like the tent or other goodies, a skill monkey package containing thieves' tools).
Each package must contain a small amount of gp to help the player out (in the area of 150-250gp).
Here's what I've managed to work up so far:
1 Backpack
3 Waterskins
7 Days worth of trail rations
1 Bedroll
5 sets of flint and steel
3 torches
1 Ammo case
1 Hammer
5 Pitons
1 Tent
2 Sets of clothes
50ft of Silk rope
1 Crowbar
1 Portable ram
10ft of Chain
1 Masterwork weapon
1 Non-masterwork weapon
1 Masterwork suit of Heavy (or lighter) armor
10 Least healing salves (with vials)
200gp
