[QUOTE="Ryujin, post: 5946378, member: 27897"] The treasure parcel system isn't all that bad. For the one 'left out' player I just give an opportunity to purchase an appropriate item, with the money that is also received in the parcel system, though I will also occasionally go beyond stated treasure guidelines too. I tried the wish list thing, at first, but found that I was frequently better at giving the players what they wanted than they were at deciding for themselves. When it comes to the first or second level of a new 'plus', I'll frequently just say, "An item at level X", then let them choose for themselves. Such level items are fairly generic. In "Death's Reach", when faced with a couple of players who both could use new armour, I had each character see the 'Dawn War Armour' as something appropriate to their class, stating that the ancient and powerful magic of the item was simply beyond their mortal understanding. Worked pretty well and derailed hack and slash, for actual role play, for a good while :D [/QUOTE]
