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.

The following item has been randomly selected according to the above rules.
Time Keeper Magic Device
| |
This is a fine gold hourglass with orange sand, labelled "Start" on one end and "Reset" on the other. | |
Value 35000 copper Weight 1 kilogram
| |
Effects: When the Time Keeper is turned so that the label saying Start is facing upwards, it pours sand for 3 rounds. Then, the person who turned it and all of their equipment are reverted to the state, memories, and location they were in when they turned the Time Keeper. For some mysterious reason, charges are not reverted. This effect only works if all of the sand was in the other section to begin with. This is a [ Time ] effect. | |
When the Time Keeper is turned so that the label saying Reset is facing upwards, the Time Keeper's revert functionality is canceled. After a number of rounds equal to the number of rounds it spent in the Start state, maximum 3, all of the sand is returned to this section. | |
Special: Turning the Time Keeper is a Lesser Action. |
