[QUOTE="Delemental, post: 2629898, member: 5203"] In our group, all magic items are placed on a list. Each player picks what items they're interested in. If more than one person is interested in an item, then they resolve the conflict between them, usually with a 'need before greed' mentality which considers not only the character's previous equipment needs, but also the utility they would put it to. For example, if there was a Ring of Protection +4 on the list, and it was claimed by both the bard (with a Ring +1) and the paladin (with a Ring +3), it would probably go to the bard, who could use the AC boost. But if the bard were the type that stood back out of combat, then the ring might go to the front-line paladin instead. There is also an expectation of passing along 'hand-me-downs'. In the example above, if the paladin got the +4 ring, he'd be expected to place his old +3 ring into the treasure pile, where it could be picked up by the bard or any other character who could benefit from it. Once everything's been picked, the rest of the treasure is sold, and divided equally among the party, including an extra share designated as a group fund for things like [I]raise dead[/I] spells.
