[QUOTE="Blue, post: 7584321, member: 20564"] In one group I play with, regardless of campaign it's done the same way. One guy (the same guy) tracks all treasure. Every once in a while they do a split, with one share to everyone and another share to the "party fund". Magic items were excluded from that (unless being sold), they usually were distributes so everyone had something / who was best to have it. So we might see "give the magic lute to the bard, who passes on his scroll of silence to someone else who doesn't have anything". As a side note, in one campaign that player also was playing a rogue who'd try to steal for himself - but he was scrupulously honest (as always) with the books and the rogue's thefts were not hidden from the players, just the characters. We all still trusted him. In a group I ran they gave items to whomever they felt it was the best with, with more generically useful items getting shuffled around if there was imbalances, and amusingly cared very little for coin. I think one guy basically horded most of it except spending money and paid for anything big the others wanted, but never formally kept track of who had what still coming to them. EDIT: Back in AD&D 2nd we had a large group with multiple character each of various levels. And +1 swords were commonplace. So items went to whomever it was a good upgrade, and all the extras (including whatever was replaced by the new items) went into the party coffers. Any of the officers of the adventuring could give these things to other members of the adventuring company unless it had a specific hold on it (like the ring with a wish we were saving for a rainy day). So we'd have 2nd level parties going out with a collection of low level potions, scrolls and a bunch of +1 weapons and armor. Because the 13th level (OMG high in AD&D XP charts) defeated a BBEG, and all his guards had +2 weapons, which got hoovered up across several mid level groups who traded in those +1 weapons and armor we had given to the relative newbies. (Back before newbie was a word.) [/QUOTE]
