Message: <blockquote data-quote="Lanefan" data-source="post: 4847192" data-attributes="member: 29398">Add one more to the chorus of "loot as we go", in part because it means we don't have to bother coming back, and in part because sometimes the loot is more useful than what we already had.Note, however, there's a difference between "looting" (taking stuff and shoving it in a sack) and "field-testing" (actually trying it out, or using it).  Unless something's use is obvious (e.g. it was used against us and thus we know what it does) field-testing usually waits until camp, or even all the way back to town for really wierd stuff.We keep a group list.  If someone is specifically carrying something e.g. a Fighter is trying out a looted sword, that gets noted on the treasury list.  Otherwise, we often just roll randomly to see who is carrying what if it becomes relevant, like in the last adventure I ran where they had to figure out how much party loot went with the two characters that got petrified...  The treasure gets fully tested, identified, and divided once back in town.  And curses are potentially very much in play at all times. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />We don't often note temporary items on the character sheets until-unless they become permanent possessions if claimed from the treasury on final division; otherwise it just gets too messy.Lan-"that sword you're wielding is about to be mine"-efan</blockquote>
