But perhaps that's not what is meant by loot?I also note that by using the maximum possible DC (25) quite readily, and 15 for things that are merely "rare" (surely in most cases these will not be found asking around, but by going to a shop or market?), and putting all the weight on Investigation, it makes the route to and type of characters who can obtain this pretty narrow (Wizards and Bards, basically, and the former will be better at finding stuff than the latter in most cases, which seems rather implausible).* = This does open up a hilarious thought of "adventure-laundering", where you mix the results of actual thefts and so on into the results of adventuring. I hope one particular player in my group never thinks of this.</blockquote>
