My game group at the local shop recently got our hand on the next season of D&D Encounters, Dead in Thay, and will be running it in a few days.
Previous editions, such as 4e, have very specific rules and guidelines for character creation at higher levels, giving PCs magic items and more gold based on what level they start at.
Do PCs in D&D Next created at a level higher than 1st receive additional gold or items? If not, are there any D&D Encounters rules for Next for how to equip starting PCs in higher-level Encounters seasons?
