Random Starting Equipment
When starting with significantly more than 5000 copper, picking starting items can take too long. By randomizing players' starting equipment, the process can be significantly shortened, and players end up finding uses for items they would not normally consider purchasing.
This randomization process can also be used for DM-controlled forces.
The Process
1. Roll for a magic item.
2. Decide how many of this item you would like. If 1 or more, return to step 1. Otherwise, proceed to step 3.
3. Spend remaining copper on gems and mundane equipment.
Optionally, to enforce a specific gem culture, the player may declare in advance that they will ignore any roll that results in items that use certain specified color(s) of gems.

Roll
The following item has been randomly selected according to the above rules.
Hip Flask of Altered Metabolism Magic Device
| |
This is an golden flask. On one side is a clockwise spiral; on the other, a counterclockwise spiral. | |
Value 800 copper Weight 0.5 kilograms
| |
Effects: Drinking all the liquid in the flask from the clockwise side rapidly boosts the ingester's metabolism, causing them to heal 2 wounds, but immediately experience 2 days of hunger and 2 days of poison and disease. | |
Drinking all the liquid in the flask from the counterclockwise side instead completely stops the ingester's metabolism, causing them to fall unconscious for one day, during which time they do not heal naturally, don't need to eat, drink, or breathe, and their poison and disease do not progress. | |
Special: Drinking liquid from a Hip Flask of Altered Metabolism takes a standard action. |
