DnD 4e Treasure Parcels
Here is a plan I have for handing out treasure in 4e DnD. Instead of the GM having to try to keep track of which character has received which treasure and all the other headaches that can come with handing out treasure, I am going to try the following.
Each player starts the game with 10 tokens numbered 1-10. When the characters find a treasure the GM merely indicates which parcels are in the treasure and what level the treasure is. The players then decide which of them is going to spend the tokens to obtain that treasure. The tokens remain spent until all the players tokens have been spent, at which point they refresh. If the treasure parcel includes a choice then the player who spent that token gets to decide what the treasure is.
The GM then only needs to keep a record of which tokens have been spent so he can plan which parcels of treasure to include in his adventures.
