(then again, the ratio of caster classes to non-caster classes is a bit more even in my game than it is in 5e)Question: do the individual characters own the items after that division, or are they still considered as party possessions on loan?It makes a big difference.  In our games, once a treasury is divided the items claimed become owned outright by those who claim them (and, if necessary, win a roll-off); meaning that if a character leaves the party, that character's items go with it.  The rare exception is when an item is too expensive for any single character to claim yet the party thinks it's just too useful to sell; what often happens here is a group of characters will buy shares in the item and later as more wealth is found one character will slowly buy the others out.In the field before treasury division, sure.  But when it comes time to divide that treasure back in town, if the Fighter ends up with both those items how are the others' shares made equal in value?  Or do they just get ripped off?I'd never have to worry about this in one part at least, as in my games Wizards can't use longswords...well, I suppose they can try, but they're a fumble-prone hazard to anyone near them.If a Hexblade (whatever that is) casts arcane spells I'd rule, a la 1e, that it can't cast while wearing armour of any kind.</blockquote>
