Um, might be a stupid thing I'm overlooking, but where is the listed starting gold for a Swashbuckler? Or for that matter, any of the classes in Complete Warrior? It doesn't seem to be included in the class description......

considering this asking about starting gold..................

how much gold should i give a LVL 4 Wizard

assum that she progressed very slowly as a wizard due to the fact that she mainly studyed at a arcane university (not much monster killing)

by the way shes a Petal:)

oh and as for your question
probably the same as a fighter

I think the Swashbuckler's starting gold was either errata'd or addressed in the FAQ. I forgot what it was but I do recall reading it in one of those.

The starting gold for a L4 Wizard should simply be wealth by level guidelines (so 5400 gp), or else compensate for that very quickly while playing unless you want to play a low treasure campaign.
Ask yourself: What did the Wizard do to get to L4 (since there are no "studying for xp" rules anywhere)? Did he perhaps make a significant arcane discovery? Sell personally created spells? Set up a business venture in alchemy? When you find out where he got his xp from, you likely found a source of income to match it.

For LT's question, all classes have the same wealth-by-level guideline for 2nd level and beyond. It's in the DMG
