Ok then! 'tis equpping time!
Now, normally buying equipment is tied into where you are at the time. But as this is the start of the game, this instead is more a reosurce allocation of what you started out with. Therefore, everyone gets the basic list of stuff and can buy whatever they want from it, as appropriate.
All the level 2 vet characters have had chances to buy decent equipment, either from Fornost or Arthedain, up to +5. No-one else can reasonably do that; the only way for the rest of you to have such equipment was through your background points.
Everyone starts with their background point allocation of money- 10 gp per background point spent. The Vets can have accumulated another five gp each on their travels.
A gold piece is worth ten silver pieces, and each silver is worth ten bronze, each of which is worth ten tin, each of which is worth ten copper.
A +5 item costs ten times the listed price.
