Roll 2d20, total the rolls=Starting equipment. Number each piece of starting equipment. Roll a d20. Remove that many pieces of starting equipment. If you rolled an 8, and you have 15 pieces of starting equipment, you remove equipment numbers 8-15.
That sounds reasonable & fitting. Do you still play using KISMET? I was looking it over again today & may give it another shot. I have been using opposed d20s for combat along with d6s rolled for advantages/disadvantages & TNs for challenges in my solo games of late.
