Long time player of SWTOR and had a few ideas after looking at the beta for F&D. If you're running a base game, not a knight level, gearing your young force user is easy with the base 500 creds. An ancient sword or training saber, heavy clothing, utility belt and a comlink. Not the best gear setup, but not bad either in my opinion.

Much Gear, Such Force

Totally. And with the credit bonus options to start, you can easily kit out your beginning Force user with a very respectable amount of gear.

Depends on what time period you've decided to set your game in as well. I just got home from running in a F&D game that started with normal character creation but at the tail end of the Clone Wars. We were all assigned training sabers and told that we could have any gear that made sense for our profession.

Most just started with a training saber, but the Rodian Starfighter Ace got a holdout blaster pistol and my Duros Sage had a datapad and backpack to carry all his books.

This is pretty normal, but neither variation (even though both me and the Rodian's player) were unbalanced due to starting with more than normal amount of credits.
