[QUOTE="fenriswolf456, post: 5850765, member: 6687664"] I believe the OP is a player in this particular case, so the point is moot. Though the DM does have a big say in things, since its the DM that decides what the loot is in the first place. :p Well, it is the _party_ treasury, so why isn't the party making use of it? It shouldn't be a case of one person gets all the coin and then they alone decide and buy stuff for everyone. If you see a need for items, speak up and say something. I'm sure if you say "hey, the mage needs some better robes", you'll at least get the mage's interest and support. Why aren't you pressuring the Cleric to do what you did? But yes, a treasury isn't the only way to go.
