[QUOTE="Darklone, post: 907871, member: 1372"] Now that's nice, my party wizard will love it... Right now, in a tight time campaign, he's desperately hoping for a three days ships travel now and then :D [b]Pax[/b]: I do know that the system assumes that you distribute wealth to the whole group and each gets his own share. The treasure tables try to emulate this (poorly IMHO). But I rather apply my own common sense to the treasures my group gets. And since I have a large group, the resulting roleplaying is tremendously enjoyable. It works like this: The group consists of 8 members (usually all come to play). The more lawfully inclined members tried to pool the treasure and money from the beginning, but some (right now 3) declined. We've been playing now for 18 months and they still keep arguing about it ;) The groups wizard (they have a cleric, a bbn1/cleric, a bbn1/sorcerer, a fighter, fighter/rogue, paladin, druid) plays an enchanter and enhances his charm spells with a nice selection of social feats and skills (Cha is his second highest attribute, he's really weak, clumsy and thin). Since he has chosen evocation as his forbidden school, the group often complains that he's not contributing much to their efforts. How he manages to get about 50% of the groups cash in treasures for his scrolls and spells to book costs? He barters and haggles. E.g. he offered the fighter (who feels soooo weak) to prepare one Bull's strength per day if the fighter bought him the scroll and paid the costs to write it in the book (at least for a certain time). For others, he offered similar things, sometimes a few potions or scrolls instead of a slot/day. Till now, I don't see a reason why I should intervene and stop this :D [/QUOTE]
