Coins, gemstone, copper rings, silver necklaces, arrows, bolts, vials of poison, armour, brooches, wooden toys, bone fetishes, potions, spell scrolls - you name it. Not that every goblin has a bag of diamonds, but there is a bit of loot on almost every monster they defeat and it comes in all shapes and sizes. Some that’s valuable, some that is there to add flavor and encourage roleplaying, (the Druid collects trinkets for her Peyote rituals).Usually the haul after a battle is one of the funnest parts for my players, and as one of the major NPCs is a jeweler, they have someone to sell it to. Actually, after acquiring a particularly valuable crown they bypassed that NPC and sold it straight to a collector (a wealthy merchant prince), a turn of events I didn’t expect and that collector is now tasked them with other treasure he wishes to receive.When it comes to weapons and armour, I have custom encumbrance rules that would mean a player would come immediately encumbered if they looted a suit or armour or a few weapons. Still, they often have a pack donkey or a sled, so if they want to start looting that stuff more often I’m keen to let them do so.</blockquote>
