[QUOTE="N'raac, post: 6167775, member: 6681948"] I find it useful to track where the players are compared to their expected WBL, and I would consider it underhanded to short the characters on treasure because someone had crafting feats instead of, say, feats that add combat effectiveness. But I agree it's far from a perfect measure. If WBL will be enforced, should the maximum spent on a single item also be enforced (that's an issue for our 2nd level Ranger with a +1 sword - and he took that from an enemy)? Do we prohibit the players from an unequal division of loot? Does the charater who burns through magic ammunition, alchemist's fire, holy water, scrolls, wands and potions get gifted with more cash to make up for that, while the character who invests in permanent items is forced to subsidize him? Even that Magic Sword is not automatic. Would you rather have a +1 Holy Undead Bane Ghost Touch sword, or a +5 sword? Depends on whether I'm playing Against the Giants or Ghost Story! [/QUOTE]
