(If you're using the pre-4e treasure-placement rules as written.)In combination with the above, this works!This is an area of the game where I'm pretty happy to cut out the middleman!This is my objection to a whole range of mechanics, including some forms of SoD: if the GM doesn't have the heart to do it - ie if the mechanic runs a danger of breaking the game if the GM actually plays it heard - then what is it doing there?I don't want soft-hearted GMs, nor players who worry about the integrity of the story. I want rules that will allow GMs to push hard, and players who push back with their PCs, to produce a great play experience, with a story that works for them, even though no one has that as their goal at any particular moment of action declaration.</blockquote>
