Its been decades but my memory was that the suggestion was for money to be evenly divided, items going to those who could use them, and dicing for general use items or taking turns with special loot.Sharing loot unequally is distasteful to me and dividing it to even out character disparity is really against the plundering ethos I associate with D&D adventuring where everyone has a use for gold. "Sorry wizard, we know you wanted gold for new spell acquisitions and scroll creation, but most of your share always goes to the fighter." Expecting PCs to make such judgment calls about power disparity on a gp level instead of dividing loot evenly is just wierd IMO. There would even be a counterargument that it would do more good for the party to load up the most powerful character so they can do even more for the party. "Sorry Fighter, we know you wanted to upgrade your magic sword but we really want the wizard to have scrolls of utility spells on hand so we always give most of your share of the loot to him."</blockquote>
