[QUOTE="Greenfield, post: 7214539, member: 6669384"] I don't know, I'm not the DM who gave it out. The game group meets at my house, and by convention the various DMs advise me after the game regarding what we faced, CR wise, and what loot we got. I calculate the EXP for the PCS, based on their levels, and I email that out to the group. That email typically includes the treasure list for the adventure, with both the list and resale prices for each item. I total them up, divide by the number of PCs involved, and tell everyone their share, in gold. We always presume that everything will be sold. If a PC wants to buy an item from the list, they can. They pay the resale price. They can pay from their share, or add gold from whatever cash reserve they might have. Sometimes someone will add an item instead, and they get credit equal to the item's resale value. Last week we faced a pack of CR 5 monsters, and a CR 7. Since we're levels 9, 10 and 11, it was pretty much a forgone conclusion, but they put up a good fight. Their big guy was a Huge skeletal Giant (Cloud, I think) wielding a Colossal Ranseur that fired 8D6 fireballs every D6 or so rounds. Now the shaft is as long as my driveway, and the head is probably the size of a small car's hood, so there's absolutely nobody who can wield the thing. I doubt that there's anyone who can lift the thing, and being magical we can't use Shrink Item on it. But the magic's specifically in the head, so we can cut off the master worked log it's using as a haft and sling the head on a pack horse. And, knowing this group, (I'm in it), we'll try. BTW: After discussing this with the DM a bit, I'm going to omit it from the treasure list for now. We aren't anywhere we actually could sell it, nor are we likely to be any time soon. We have time to figure it out. [/QUOTE]
