[QUOTE="Chimera, post: 206184, member: 2002"] Gee, is everyone forgetting the concept of Inheritance? Uncle Bob the Adventurer is known to have a nifty magic sword and a nice bag of gold. Don't you think his family might put a claim on some of his wealth? Junior goes out and makes a small fortune for himself. You think his poor mother might have a better claim to it than his buddies? IRL, the courts would be clogged for decades as every remote cousin and pretender came out of the closet to lay claim to a dead adventurer's wealth. In a more civilized environment, it is less likely that the adventurer's buddies will be able to claim his goods. Another option is Government Intervention. Don'tcha think that Grand Duke Dudley might be interested in acquiring that +3 vorpal Longsword? Legally or otherwise? This is an especially probable and useful option when it comes to major magic items. NO WAY a major government would stand by and allow some of those items (such as a Mirror of Mental Prowess) to pass into just anyone's hands. [/QUOTE]
