[QUOTE="Nonlethal Force, post: 2715813, member: 35788"] [COLOR=Lime]Bront:[/COLOR] I should say that for VoP based characters I am a stickler for both sides of the coin. Obviously nothing more than mundane weapons/items/etc - that goes without saying. But I am also a stickler that the characters demand an equal share of the loot be given away to charities. If everyone agrees, usually the easiest way to handle this is that the VoP monk claim things/money/etc and either make someone else carry them or even carry them themselves but NEVER use them.
