Sorry to ask 2 questions on the same day. I am having trouble understanding what equipment your character starts with. I initially thought that a character starts with only what the book describes as relative to the creation points invested into wealth.

However after getting the adventures toolkit it states that the ironbreaker starts with a suit of gromril armor. So am I to believe that all character starts with the "typical trappings" section of that characters career card in addition to what the books states on wealth? thank you very much for any help you can give.

Their starting wealth tells what they start with. They do not start with the "typical career trappings" as per the FAQ. It is just something to aspire to. I'd imagine that the Ratcatcher will start with a pole and some traps though.

This part of the rules is vague. You may want to house rule your decision

The FAQ is clear that you only start with the items listed in starting wealth and must purchase any other items; however, the Ironbreaker's armor and the Swordmaster's sword are each their respective career's special ability, not typical trappings or standard equipment.
