I reward stuff I know will be useful to my players. My philosophy being "if it ain't broke don't fix it", I see no reason to change my ad hoc reward system that more or less follows the DMG parcels. Back in 3.x when we had random treasure, I never used random treasure anyway, I gave out what I wanted to give out, making sure every few levels that people had equal +'s on their equipment (weapons, armor, rings of protection, etc).I like to make sure the less accurate/less optimized people get their +X weapons and implements the earliest. Gives me a sense of balancing with external influence. Call me a control freak.I'm glad to hear the random table averages out to the DMG guideline. If people like the randomness more power to them. As a player I care not which method a DM uses. As DM, I'll stick with my current method for the foreseeable future.</blockquote>
