And if anyone looked at Syndicates post and thought "oh I would like to know that too, shame he fixed it but didn't mention how...

In your SQL Manager (database)
Goto PS_GameDefs
Tables
And it's the dbo.BaseItemsDefs table.
You can edit that to give your characters whatever starting items you would like (weapons, ress runes etc)
Remember Syndicate.. try to help people as well as grab info..
