5e Starting Gold Table
- We are starting a new 12th level campaign (DnD 5e) within a few weeks and checking the higher level starting equipment I found that between 11 and 16 level the PC should start with 5,000 gp plus d10 x 250 gp and with two uncommon magic item.
- Potions, armor, weapons, magical items. Magical gear is expensive, so you blow through it all pretty quick (and the DMG suggest a limit, like no more of 1/4 of your starting gold on any single thing, to prevent you from getting just one really powerful thing, like super duper armor, and then just waiting til you loot something decent for.
- The DMG will be coming out but in general 5e is not a loot/magic item heavy system. In 3e and 4e if you didn't have magic items equal to (roughly) your Average Wealth by Level chart then you were hampered in combat and stuff. In 5e a magic item is sort of a cheat.
- Jul 15, 2015 Wealth by level was a failure in 5e. I understand why they kept it purposefully ambiguous - it makes everything a judgment call by the GM. But this makes it more of a chore for a player to make a higher level character, because there is no clearly defined rules for how much an item costs or how much gold they have to spend.

Expertise
At 1st Level, choose two of your skill Proficiencies, or one of your skill Proficiencies and your proficiency with Thieves' Tools. Your Proficiency Bonus is doubled for any ability check you make that uses either of the chosen Proficiencies.At 6th level, you can choose two more of your Proficiencies (in Skills or with thieves' tools) to gain this benefit.
Sneak Attack
Beginning at 1st Level, you know how to strike subtly and exploit a foe's distraction. Once per turn, you can deal an extra 1d6 damage to one creature you hit with an Attack if you have advantage on the Attack roll. The Attack must use a Finesse or a ranged weapon.You don't need advantage on the Attack roll if another enemy of the target is within 5 feet of it, that enemy isn't Incapacitated, and you don't have disadvantage on the Attack roll.
The amount of the extra damage increases as you gain levels in this class, as shown in the Sneak Attack column of the Rogue table.
Thieves' Cant
During your rogue Training you learned thieves' cant, a Secret mix of dialect, jargon, and code that allows you to hide messages in seemingly normal conversation. Only another creature that knows thieves' cant understands such messages. It takes four times longer to convey such a Message than it does to speak the same idea plainly.
In addition, you understand a set of Secret signs and symbols used to convey short, simple messages, such as whether an area is dangerous or the territory of a thieves' guild, whether loot is nearby, or whether the people in an area are easy marks or will provide a Safe House for thieves on the run.Cunning Action
Starting at 2nd Level, your quick thinking and agility allow you to move and act quickly. You can take a Bonus Action on each of your turns in Combat. This action can be used only to take the Dash, Disengage, or Hide action.Roguish Archetype
At 3rd Level, you choose an archetype that you emulate in the exercise of your rogue Abilities, such as Thief. Your archetype choice grants you features at 3rd Level and then again at 9th, 13th, and 17th level.Ability Score Improvement
When you reach 4th Level, and again at 8th, 10th, 12th, 16th, and 19th level, you can increase one ability score of your choice by 2, or you can increase two Ability Scores of your choice by 1. As normal, you can’t increase an ability score above 20 using this feature.Uncanny Dodge
Starting at 5th Level, when an attacker that you can see hits you with an Attack, you can use your Reaction to halve the attack's damage against you.Evasion
Beginning at 7th level, you can nimbly dodge out of the way of certain area Effects, such as a red dragon's fiery breath or an Ice Storm spell. When you are subjected to an effect that allows you to make a Dexterity saving throw to take only half damage, you instead take no damage if you succeed on the saving throw, and only half damage if you fail.Reliable Talent
Wizard Starting Gold 5e
By 11th level, you have refined your chosen Skills until they approach perfection. Whenever you make an ability check that lets you add your Proficiency Bonus, you can treat a d20 roll of 9 or lower as a 10.Blindsense
Starting at 14th level, if you are able to hear, you are aware of the location of any hidden or Invisible creature within 10 feet of you.Slippery Mind
By 15th level, you have acquired greater mental Strength. You gain proficiency in WisdomSaving Throws.Elusive
Beginning at 18th level, you are so evasive that attackers rarely gain the upper hand against you. No Attack roll has advantage against you while you aren't Incapacitated.Dmg Staring Gold 5e Higher Level Review
Stroke of Luck
At 20th level, you have an uncanny knack for succeeding when you need to. If your Attack misses a target within range, you can turn the miss into a hit. Alternatively, if you fail an ability check, you can treat The D20 roll as a 20.Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a short or Long Rest.
Roguish Archetypes
Rogues have many features in Common, including their emphasis on perfecting their Skills, their precise and deadly approach to Combat, and their increasingly quick reflexes. But different rogues steer those talents in varying directions, embodied by the rogue archetypes. Your choice of archetype is a reflection of your focus—not necessarily an indication of your chosen profession, but a description of your preferred Techniques.You hone your Skills in the larcenous arts. Burglars, bandits, cutpurses, and other criminals typically follow this archetype, but so do rogues who prefer to think of themselves as professional Treasure seekers, explorers, delvers, and investigators. In addition to improving your agility and Stealth, you learn Skills useful for delving into ancient ruins, reading unfamiliar Languages, and using Magic Items you normally couldn’t employ.
Fast Hands
