Starting Money:

Your character is unusual, exceptional as compared to the norm. This applies to abilities and funds as well. Thus, he or she will have a large supply of coins with which to purchase equipment and supplies to begin adventuring. The possible number of gold pieces which a player begins depends upon the character class: —Advanced Dungeons & Dragons Edition 1 Player’s Handbook

Paladin: 50-200 g.p. (5d4) —Advanced Dungeons & Dragons Edition 1 Player’s Handbook

To determine the number of gold pieces your character has at the start, simply roll the appropriate dice and total the sum (adding a decimal place if necessary). —Advanced Dungeons & Dragons Edition 1 Player’s Handbook

Most of these funds will quickly be spent on the costs of staying in the adventuring area and acquiring the equipment which will be used for adventuring. (See BASIC EQUIPMENT AND SUPPLIES COSTS table hereafter.) —Advanced Dungeons & Dragons Edition 1 Player’s Handbook
