[QUOTE="Rassilon, post: 2657576, member: 15065"] We have two campaigns (same players) and consequently, two methods of treasure distribution. The first I'm sure will horrify many of the posters, but it has evolved in a particular way over time, and works for us: The campaign is L19, we are above the wealth guidelines. We "get" the treasure as we happen across it, but only tally and divide it intermitently . . . We have HUGE amounts of stuff every divvy. So: We get this big Excell sheet, and make sure every item is priced. Each character selects what they want, if there is any overlap we work out something at the time (dice, "nah, you can have it", whatever). Then we sell as much of the rest of the gear as we can (often taking weeks or months off in game to do so). We then know the "book average" that that haul went for - 65% of market price for example - and all the gear that each character selcted is priced at that percentage. Then we use coin to top everyone up to an equal divvy. It takes [I]hours[/I], but everyone gets the same amount, to the copper, we all know how much we got, to the copper, and the DM knows exactly how much wealth the group wound up with (after haggling, trading etc) - you guessed it - [I]to the copper[/I]. Not for everyone, but we like it. Then of course, we go shopping with the spare coin ;) The second method. The campaign is L5, and under the wealth guidelines. I DM this campaign, and, um . . . I kinda embarrassed but I'm not really sure how the PCs divide the loot. They still track 'private property' [I]per se[/I], but they also seem to have this "we are so poor - please, let me share with you that we may all survive" thing happening. Which, for this campaign, also works for us. Rassilon. [/QUOTE]
