[QUOTE="Laslo Tremaine, post: 362201, member: 330"] This is pretty much exactly how one of our groups does it. The only clarification that I would like to make is that when someone does "buy" an item, that money then goes into a pool, and once everyone is done with their "purchases," the pool is equally divided among the party members. Also, we do not make people "buy" charged items (wands, potions, scrolls, etc), the item just goes to the person who can make the best use of it. Our other group (which is smaller and more altruistic) has a different method. At the end of and adventure, gold is split evenly. Items go to the person who has the most obvious use for it (+1 longsword to the fighter with a focus in longswords for example) . If no one has an obvious claim for an item (like boots of speed or wings of flying) then we go through a rotation system. Player #1 (determined randomly at the start of the campaign) gets first pick of unassigned items, then player #2 and so on. Next adventure the rotation advances by one (player #2 becomes #1, etc). The only real caveat is that if you pick an item you cannot sell it. If you are going to sell and item, the proceeds get split evenly amoung the group... Clear as mud? It works for us... [/QUOTE]
