Buy as signature gear? almost always for some character types.

The expense - breakability - lootability risk/reward calculus makes buying a sword with starting cash a bit tricky.

Buying with SG is pretty broken, which is why it has all but disappeared from the game. In DFRPG specifically, SG onlly protects the gear, you still have to pay for it normally.
