03-08-07, 01:53 PM In the latest LGCS I couldn't find anything that restricts new PCs to items found in the PHB. Does this mean new characters can by silver and cold iron items as well as potions and scrolls? I just wanted to make sure I didn't miss anything.

This is indeed correct.

Yep. Good to go.

This is another one of those quiet changes.

And despite the DM giving me strange looks I still had a backup of each type of weapon (piercing, bludgeoning, slashing) in cold iron and silver for my newest PC.
I hate DR.

Your DM gave you funny looks? With this beautiful access available, I'd think the DM would give you funny looks not to take care of all sorts of DR. Vampire spawns are legitimate APL 2 things, as are various sorts of low level demons (one dretch, for example), fey, skeletons, zombies, etc. Just because you won't *likely* see DR/silver and piercing doesn't mean it won't happen!
