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.
Legend Wand Magic Device
| |
This is a large rod with a slot for a gem at one end. | |
Value 50000 copper Weight 4 kilograms
| |
Effects: If the Legend Wand is powered by Gem(s) of the correct color(s), it may be used to cast its spell. It takes 18 hours while powered to regain the ability to cast that spell. | |
Special: A Legend Wand is built around one particular Legend spell. If it's a bound spell, it doesn't begin recharging until it's unbound. The Wand is the caster, and anyone holding the Wand can force it to unbind its spell by taking a standard action. |
