Message: <blockquote data-quote="Deset Gled" data-source="post: 5930656" data-attributes="member: 7808">Basic procedure for tithing:1.  The group splits of treasure normally.  Items go to the person most likely to use them;  coins, fungible valuables, and unusable items are split so that all players get approximately equal amounts after the value (including used items) is summed up.  2.  The Paladin determines which items will be used for the pursuit of further income/adventuring, and sets these aside.3.  The Paladin then determines the net value of all coins and unused items he has received.   He notes this value, and gives 10% of it to the church at the next appropriate time.  For magic items, artwork, etc, he notes the sale value of the item (that is, the amount he would get for selling the item, not the amount he would pay for the item).  He may choose to donate items to the church directly, or may opt to sell them first.4.  Any time the Paladin sells an item he had previously used for adventuring purposes, he notes 10% of the money received in the sale, and pays it to the church.  That is, all items exempted per Clause 2 above are taxed when they are sold (but not when they are received).  Likewise, items that are shared by the group are exempted from the income calculation at the time they are received, but must be accounted for if they are ever sold or split amongst the adventurers.  Also, this means that consumable items found and used by the Paladin in the course of adventuring will not be tithed on (since they do not result in a net income), but consumable items sold will be included in the tithe.</blockquote>
