[QUOTE="Li Shenron, post: 1821782, member: 1465"] We have done it once a couple of years ago. Someone suggested to do so to bring more roleplay to the game: actually the idea was spawned by the fact that the fighter was getting all the weapons for the only reason that "he was the frontline fighter" and needed magic stuff more than everyone else. The bard then thought it was obvious that since he was very charismatic, the leader and spokesman of the party, he was going to convince the others to give them a larger share. He largely won any check, and also roleplayed the situation quite well. First time the fighter catched the bard alone, he killed him because he was roleplaying his anger :uhoh: Sharing stuff based on who's going to have more use of them is fair as long as what you find is balanced by the DM towards everyone. Front-line warriors shouldn't get more protections than the archers and spellcaster just because those other stay in the rear lines, after all this is already counted into the class features such as HD and armor use. If someone is owning much less magic equipment than the others AND much less than the standard amount per level (assuming a standard D&D campaign), he should be entitled to ask that the others provide for his lack, by selling the extra equipment if necessary.
