If that isn't a meat shield I don't know what is. Since the group is primarily rogue I see little problem with this.

Somebody liked unearthed arcana.

No armour, RAM? That's a lot of easy AC bonus you're missing out on. You don't appear to have really spent any of your 13,000 starting gold either.

Though, dang. I thought *I* was going to be the melee meatshield.

But spending your loot defeats the purpose of being a mercenary, which is to sleep every night on a bed of pure gold...

I though it was only 4000+stargting gold?

Yes, and starting gold for level 5 people is 9,000. 9000+4000=13000.

But spending your loot on stuff to make you more powerful can allow you to take on more dangerous jobs and thus make more money, and... etc. But in general, non-magicked armour costs next to nothing and gives you most of the AC your character will ever have. It's practically free. You ought to grab a full plate; 8 AC for 1,500 gp, and the max-dex lets you keep your +1 bonus there.

If we're making all our sheets public, here's mine, then. Errold Quinn, ex-military pure-fighter. http://www.myth-weavers.com/sheetview.php?sheetid=229836

Very, very basic, but I'm quite happy to be playing so simplistically once again :P

Where'd you get 9000 from?
Starting gold for barbarians is 100, for fighters it's 150.
There's a little table in page 111 of the player's guide that says starting gold on it.

I want to know where you got this 9000 thing because if I'm wrong I've been missing out on 9000 gold worth of magical items.

Starting gold at level one is that, but there's a table in the DMG for starting characters at higher levels.

But then, life was also easier when I was running around here pretending to be a man, so I guess I should just "man up" and get back to work.

can I get a page?

I found 5-1 which deals with maximum average balanced character wealth per level is that what you meant?
It mentions gold is that the one?
