[QUOTE="Kurotowa, post: 2778985, member: 27957"] The shares method works best with a party that's primarily out for profit. That applies both ICly and OOCly. Breaking it down by the numbers prevents accusations of favoritism, hoarding, or cheating. However, if the party is primarily friends doing heroic deeds and the loot is secondary, you can try something else. My last party used these rules: Items get handed out to those who can use them best. The archer gets first call on Gloves of Dex, the undead hating paladin gets the undead bane sword, wands and scrolls go to the casters. We don't keep track of item prices because it's assumed that over several adventures everyone will average out to the same amount of cool stuff. However it is encouraged that if you're getting something really good, you toss your old obsolete items back in the party pot (third ring, weaker Cloak of Protection, second pair of magic boots). After the useful items are handed out the rest are sold off and added to the cash loot, which is divided into equal shares and paid out. [/QUOTE]
