[QUOTE="LokiDR, post: 360551, member: 6239"] For specific items, you can use the Living City method. Who ever wants an item all roll a d20. Highest roll gets the item. Repeat for other items. Split money evenly. For dungeon-craw-ish campaigns, I like the book-even method. Find the book value of all the items and total that with the gold. Every person can choose what they want up to an even share of the loot. If you want an item that is more than your share, you pay into the pot or argue your case. For more role-playing, I prefer the "whatever suits you" style. If you really need it or it best suits you, then you get it. If it really doesn't fit anyone and no one cares, give it to the person with the best knack for being around when it is needed, or throw it in the party funds. In case of disagreement, debate and try to have a consensus. Money is spilt mostly between members, with just a little for "general expenses". Players are expected to contribute to others, so hording is discouraged. This is the hardest to do, but the best for the party overall, and it lets the DM give items to those that need it. For the hording character, cursed items, encombrance, and enemies with a sense for magic items might be the best course. If the character is clepto, take your stuff back. If all else fails, ask the person what they would do if a "friend" always stuck them with the bill. When the don't get it, ask them to leave. [/QUOTE]
