We'll be playing with the Automatic Bonus Progression rules with a few changes. 

First,  any player aligned with at least one of the main factions in a Ledge Campaign can expect to receive their full wealth by level (rather than half per ABP).  This is the primary benefit of working with these factions, and we encourage players to consider their aligned factions during character creation.  You may begin with full wealth if you're already aligned with a faction.

Second, the weapon and armor rules of ABP are optional rather than mandatory.  A character may attune to any weapon or armor to gain these bonuses, but they overlap with any bonuses the weapon or armor may already have.  The prices for magic weapons and armors follow the standard cost progression (rather than the reduced cost in ABP).

The motivation behind these changes is similar to Tiered Gestalt: we want players to feel empowered to use different items than those most commonly used (often referred to as the 'Big Six').  Rather than rewarding players with twice the gold, we prefer to split the difference by giving some built-in bonuses.
