I hope you two get along.Treasure management should NOT be the domain of the players, and quite frankly burying someone with all their stuff (stuff that you personally know has a value in the thousands of dollars that right now has a very direct effect on your own future wellbeing) is the realm of total morons, and a very twisted type of metagaming.So is welcoming "Tom the slackarse bard" to the group - you know, the guy who has never, ever done anything which has earnt him money - and then spontaeneously giving him all this neat loot you have.I'm still trepidatious about lending my car to my nearest and dearest, and I know that they're going to take the utmost care of it. Lending it to someone I barely know who's going to take it into the equivalent of a destruction derby isn't something I'm going to do.My personal suggestion would be to allow the players to split up the treasure however they want, and redress the balance from your own side of the table, by tweaking treasure up or down to match.After all, if the party decides all the treasure you hand them is crap, and sells the lot, you've got to do that constantly anyway, or give up the ghost of regulated treasure levels.</blockquote>
