[QUOTE="Turanil, post: 2038855, member: 9646"] I don't see a problem there. The only problem is to believe that another D&D rule is that every [I]player[/I] must get a perfectly equal share of the treasure the party got. But in-character, there could be arguing and bickering over how the treasure is spent, how money is distributed, etc. This player's PC could try to impose his views, but it doesn't imply that other PCs must agree, and if they do, it's their problem not that of the player's PC. In fact there could be liars and thieves in the party. When the treasure consist in gems, how do you deal with it? Do you say "you find 4 gems valued at 500 gp each?". Me I say: "you find 4 nice gems, that look like you could get a lot of money from them". However, you need Appraise rolls to determine their [I]potential[/I] value. Thereafter, you need to effectively finding some people willing to buy them, and price offered may vary according to various circumstances. Lastly, if only one character (say the rogue) takes the burden of selling them while the others aren't there, he could lie to the other PCs and not give them a fair share. All in all, it's but a matter of roleplaying. So, no problem with a PC being greedy. BTW: if you don't want this item being sold, just tell there is nobody around willing to buy them, or having enough money for that. [/QUOTE]
