<p>This is largely incoherent, possibly due to the removed post(s). I can glean that it's a strategy useful in a game being played in the higher levels. Trouble is that the majority of games are played at low levels and generally conclude before level 12. This advice, while probably solid, is not going to apply to a lot of situations.</p>
<p>As an example, we've just hit level 11 in our GS campaign. We are beginning to bandy about the idea of our conjuror handling all the tanking with summoned critters and the rest of us all bringing in casters or ranged characters as we replace our dead ones. It's starting to look viable, even attractive with the hammering our melees take, but we had to get through 10 levels to get to this point.</p>Lady-J wrote:Halek wrote: Lady-J wrote: Halek wrote:Why are you having martials be meatshields?

<p>1) Do It Yourself
<br />
- Someone plays a 9th level caster with Craft Arms/Armor and Wonderous Item. (I am more than happy to)
<br />
- All players make an ideal wish list of items for their characters
<br />
- All loot value is calculated (half value) and split evenly between the party as a phantom gold pool
<br />
- Any time an item drops that is not on a wishlist is sold and the gold is split between party members. They spend phantom gold to gain real gold on a one to one basis
<br />
- Caster makes items for characters if they can supply the materials in gold
<br />
- If someone does want a drop, its total value is taken from their phantom gold. They are allowed to go into negative phantom gold but once negative they cannot gain real gold or drops unless the party unanimously votes on a case by case basis
<br />
- Consumables may or may not count as drops. To be determined by the players in Session 0.</p>There are a lot of ways to go about loot.
