Hopefully you'll find something that works for you as well, even if your way is different than mine.  It's not a 100% cut and dry issue I suppose, so it's up to you to find a way that maintains happiness and game balance for your group.  Good luck and have fun playin'! <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
