but kept forgetting. It seems a bit off that the pc starts as a level 1, with no experience and only a wooden staff. i say this because dirbert is well equiped with 500 xp, and dirbert declares that he and the pc have gone after a thief, and the pc is supposed to have been active in the town militia before this. i understand, due to different character classes that equipping is impossible but it seems like the xp thing should be a bit more generous to start. if dirbert has 500 xp shouldn't the pc have a couple hundred points at least? everyone in the game is a good ways ahead of the pc.

Not a serious issue, but it does seem a bit off considering dirbert's banters about prior experiences with the pc catching a thief and so on.

Well, I always give myself a good head start on xp, 1000 at most though... well, I once played the Reaver kit who needed the 60 000 on the mage class to dual to a thief which then turns into the real class, so I just gave him the start xp with the console, and dualed.

oh i know i can console myself extra xp, but i'm speaking more to the totally legit in game experience. With dirbert saying that the pc had lead patrols going after wolves and goblins and killing them, there's no way the pc has no experience when the game starts. Sure, with dirberts wicked bow skill, it's reasonable to assume he'd have more xp than the pc does. But the pc surely would have gotten a couple hundred xp along the way on those patrols.
