Whoo boy THIS. Racial and Background starting gear would be really nice honestly.
Then again, I think having your gear locked to your class is really kind of not very D&D of the game. I know they're trying to kick the player out the door and into the adventure, but that sort of homogenization really is the antithesis of D&D.
I get that they're just going with "starting equipment" aspect of 5e but man... I'd really appreciate that extra level of polish at the start of the game.
Yeah, starting equipment should be based on Class AND Background. I also would like to see the appearance of your starting equipment based on your Race. I.e. While an Elf Fighter and Dwarf Fighter could both start off with chain mail, the armor they start off with would look elven for the Elf, and dwarven for the Dwarf; A dwarf and an elf would still be able to wear each other's variants, but the armor they start off with would have an appropriate appearance.
