Starting Money and Equipment for Cavaliers

Because cavaliers have the support of their lords or orders, they begin
play with funds and equipment of amount and type not available to
members of other classes. The resources of a beginning cavalier depend
upon the character’s social standing, as follows:

    Horsemen of the Lower Middle Class or a lesser station begin with
        20-80 gp, shield, sword (any type), and a riding horse.
    Horsemen of the Middle Middle Class begin with 20-80 gp, shield,
        dagger, sword (broad or long), and a light warhorse.
    Horsemen of the Upper Middle Class begin with 20-80 gp, chain
        mail, sword (broad or long), lance, and light warhorse.
    Cavaliers of the Lower Upper Class begin with 70-180 gp
        (ld12 + 6), shield, plate mail, dagger, sword (long or broad),
        lance, and medium warhorse.
    Cavaliers of the Middle Upper Class begin with 70-180 gp, shield,
        field plate armor, dagger, sword (long or broad), lance, and
        heavy warhorse.
    Cavaliers of the Upper Upper Class begin with 130-180 gp (ld6
        + 12), shield, full plate armor, dagger, sword (long or broad),
        mace, lance, and heavy warhorse with leather barding.

Horses are assumed to be complete with tack, harness, saddle and
saddlebags appropriate to the station of the cavalier. Note again that
cavaliers of less than Upper Class must begin as 0-level Horsemen,
and must be taken in by a good family and esquired.
