[QUOTE="jgsugden, post: 8262616, member: 2629"] My PCs find the amount of items and coin recommended by the DMG, but generally have ways to buy items with coin as well. There are usually some people that can be found that will make magic items if you prepay for them, although it does take time. PCs generally get to 3 attuned items (and a few unattuned items) at around 6th level. That is when the income spikes according to the DMG recommendations, and if you have places where magic can be purchased, they can afford multiple uncommon items. When they find items, about half come from WotC sources and the other half are homebrew. This applies to spells and potions as well - about half come from WotC sources, the other half are homebrew (or 3rd party). As for how treasure is divided - it is done in character. It is usually a split of the coin and then dividing up items to put them in the hands where they make the most sense - but sometimes they do things differently. In one recent party, we divided the monetary treasure equally and then put every item we found up for 'auction'... whatever someone paid was split amongst the other PCs. In another group, they kept what they found - which resulted in PCs forgoing attacks during combat so that they could loot a fallen enemy. The scout in the party developed the ability to detect magic quietly so that he could identify the good loot before a battle. [/QUOTE]
