[QUOTE="S'mon, post: 5852172, member: 463"] I do 'just let it vanish', but then I also do hear complaints from players about how their PCs are poor and under-equipped, and that can get frustrating. Eg as GM: 1. I use DMG 2 Inherent bonuses 2. I also use standard treasure awards by level from the published adventures. 3. I have NPCs give a lot of gifts, in addition. So in theory the PCs should have much *more* than standard wealth, not less! Yet it never works out like that. Players complain* their PCs are poor, yet they go on passively handing over all the loot to the treasurers. Likewise, when I've been a player and tried to counter this black-hole effect by suggesting that we loot-split immediately, I get treated as selfish & anti-social, especially by the treasurer. I find it really strange and disconcerting. *Heck, I even heard a treasurer complain of poverty, recently! I can only think he can't have actually been tracking the loot. Maybe the fresh PC sheet he brings to each session might have something to do with it. Just as he doesn't know how many healing surges he has left, he may not know what loot they've gained. [/QUOTE]
