I've spent some time figuring out some ways to provide items to new characters, primarily new players. I'd like opinions (from old and new players if they've made an account) and hopefully assistance when the game is back up.

The current idea is to provide a leaf bag containing:

1. A cup of some drink
2. A Kalrisian Pantheon lore book
3. A small amount of a cheap food
4. If there's enough supplies, a calendar lore book

Leaving items in the library in my experience isn't a great alternative, and I want to direct them to getting assistance from characters who can mentor them. I'm not terribly concerned with skillbooks since they'll get one upon completing their intro quest. Also, I believe characters who can mentor their skills should probably be helping them to make connections and shaping them for success. 

As far as I'm aware 'low tier' food (flatbread, I think a couple more) is consumable regardless, though I don't know if dibbuns who are restricted to herbs can eat it. All drinks (currently, we'll see if this changes) can be consumed for all types, though. My assumption is that there won't be any prebuilts with 'high impact' traits, so I wasn't too concerned about it, but it is a good point for returning players on new characters. I'd like to offer the same supplies to them.
