And that brings me to the second part of this post.
Getting to select your starting equipment, similarly to 5e
I have two ideas here:
1. Just let us select it after the first time we press "venture forth" at creation, before we get to design our dream person.
2. Have class appropriate gear available in the first pod room.
3. Both of the above. Let us select our load out, but let it be something we have to find in the first room. Let it be the first quest to teach us how to navigate and jump over the fire etc.
Watch out people are severely attached to the idea that you HAVE to start with endgame looking gear here.
But yeah you’re right this is exactly what should go down. And since all of the characters can be the the PC, they should be wearing similar stuff to reinforce the narrative that you’re all in the same situation, and generally not in Kansas anymore.
Having a thrall outfit would make a lot more sense that everyone is assuming you’re a thrall. And the villagers being afraid of you.
