As a result, the quantity of equipment owned by the PCs grow rapidly.Is there some way I can cut down on their equipment growth without having them fight beasts all the time? Last game they defeated a pirate crew, and now they have a WAR-SHIP to sell, on top of the pirate's gear.I intend to have the 23 dwarves on their ship put forth note that they expect some of the take, particularly where they lost 1/3 of their men, but I'm still having this problem?How do I stop the characters equipment from almost doubling every fight? Then they take what they don't want, and sell it, and have a fortune.It seems like my level 5 party have the equipment of level 9s in Pathfinder, and all I can think to do is raise the encounters to compensate, but the creep is meaning higher and higher challenges which are way out of line with their level. It's getting rather irritating.Should I just have them continually fight drow whose Items disintegrate in sunlight until they are of appropriate level for their gear? It seems like a dick way to deal with the problem.Any suggestions?</blockquote>
