[QUOTE="Zog, post: 1821867, member: 5083"] Splitting every single pile of loot evenly is nigh impossible. What do you do if the value of gold and magic item's gp value isn't evenly divisible, sell the items for gold so you have equal shares? Splitting loot evenly over the course of several piles (several dungeons, several adventures, etc.) on the other hand, is possible. But an even so, in the games I've been in, there was minimal disagreement on loot distribution. There was generally a 'party fund' of cash, and items were claimed by those who could use them. In the case of items useful to several, there was a brief discussion of who could use it better, or who needed it more, and one character would give way, saying 'I get the next magic weapon' or whathaveyou. If someone wanted a major purchase, the party would talk about it, and generally agree to release the cash from the party funds. Sometimes the rest of the party would ask the person to wait, because the purchase would drain the funds, or they had been making several requests, or other people had plans for the cash, but I've always been in (or run) friendly games where everyone was fairly laid back. When I was playing my little halfling monk, I turned down 90% of the treasure. I just didn't need and couldn't use it. But when we found a ring of deflection +1 - "Mine" "The wizard could use that, heck, the Paladin could use it too" "Mine" "Actually, it stacks with everyone's AC, so...." "Mine. How much loot have I ever asked for? How much do I have? Mine." "Um, right. Brother Thorn gets it." "Thank you" Ah, I miss playing the little guy. :) [/QUOTE]
