Also, just for simplicity, we'll probably be going with the item system outlined in Phaedrus' houserules here. So magic items do provide scaling bonuses, you're limited to using no more than 8 constant-effect magic items at a time, and the cap on their value is listed on that table. Use that to equip yourselves during character creation (custom items are fine). For the rest of the game, whenever you guys level up, you can use that table to adjust your equipment as necessary--we'll fluff it as you winning the item in a card game/crafting it in your spare time/whatever.
