[QUOTE="Fallen Seraph, post: 4696486, member: 57894"] To put it in a couple words: Not very often. The campaigns I run are usually few and far between when it comes to giving out treasure. This is generally due to the fact that well the campaigns don't fit with places that there be lots of treasure. We don't run dungeons, nor usually face monsters that hoard treasure, humanoids generally have similar gear (not always but a lot of the time (though I do mention any one-time treasure such as alchemical fire or special arrows these they do take)), etc. What we do instead is have lots of little "upgrades". To give an example, the classic Vorpal blade, it isn't magical it is that the character has become more efficient in using his weapon in that way. Or the weapon deals out poison damage that means he modified it, to do so. Usually when it comes to getting "treasure", it is part of/is a quest onto itself. So stealing from a military barracks, or canvassing the underbelly of a city for a Witch who has a special brew, etc. [/QUOTE]
