Which is like the core sourcebooks, but missing critical information like how much experience is needed to level up, or how much gold you get to starts with, which your GM should be telling you anyway.

It's basically a thing so that only the person running the game needs to actually have the books.
See, using this, somebody could tell you they were running a game starting at level 8, and that you could have 1,000 gold worth of stuff, plus one single item worth anywhere up to 9,000, because you were caught in a shipwreck and all your stuff got lost except for that one thing you saved, and you could go ahead and make a character for it, say, a dwarven barbarian whose one item was a +2 battleaxe, and who is very, very glad that they managed to cling to those barrels full of food which, along with the rope used to lash them together, comprise the rest of your stuff, because otherwise they would have drowned.
... I now have an idea for the next campaign I'm going to run.
Also, after your description, I have no desire to play the board game.
