Starting at a Higher Level
Source GM Core pg. 67
A typical campaign starts at 1st level, but you can start at a higher level if you choose. This can be especially satisfying for a one-shot or short campaign, or if your group wants to play a specific adventure made for higher-level characters. The PCs should all start at the same level. They simply make a 1st-level character, then level them up the number of times needed to reach the starting level.
The Character Wealth table indicates how much currency and what common items of various levels the character should start with. Let the players choose their own items as well as spend their currency on common items if they choose. This table gives them fewer items than they might have had if they'd gained items through adventuring, but it balances the fact that they can choose what items they want.
