[QUOTE="wlmartin, post: 5841957, member: 6679380"] I get what you are saying, for the record keeping I wouldnt mind doing that and since my character has high diplomacy it is pretty much going to be down to him to haggle and sell a lot of the time. I would like to think of it like if it was a real adventure. This kind of thing would need to be tracked then so why not now. I do think that people should want to claim things less... if there is no system then anything could be beneficial, after all, who knows when that +2 history could come in useful so why not keep the Historians Amulet! Or, more likely, people will refuse to claim a certain item because they dont need it or dont want to pay for it, even at 1/5 value and will pass on it, thus increasing the loot for everyone. I would like to think that our DM is kind enough to balance out loot for everyone but even with the designed Treasure Parcels, each level someone always loses out in the way of magic items anyway. I think it would be sad if the Lvl 2 wizard found a Lvl 6 staff and due to this the DM decided to dole out less wizard stuff and more fighter, cleric and rogue stuff for the others and the wizard doesnt get another magic item until level 5 to compensate for this and in the meantime has been stuck with just the normal divy of loot. I think in this system, claiming the staff puts him in the hole for a good few levels but at least once his debt is paid off, he doesnt feel as behind as he might be "waiting for his turn" so to speak in the allotment of cool loot.
