04-02-07, 11:22 AM In a recent adventure, the party needed to incur a very hefty expense in order to do the right thing. Due to recent purchases, my character had a very light gold pouch and could only donate a notable short share of the total. In retrospect, I should have sold off an item if I wanted to donate an even amount but, it did not occur to us so, did not happen.

I thought I could pay them back later but, it seems that LG does not allow direct payment between characters. I want to repay the ones I can but, wondered if there are any legal methods to do this. The only thing I can see thus far is by covering expenses and likely to be used consumables. Are there any other ways?

Figure out what consumables your party tends to use and stock up. Paying out for scrolls and wands (which you just hand over to the casters at the start of the mod) can save them a lot of resources in terms of gold and crafting TUs. Normally people do this for divine stuff anyway, but there's no reason you couldn't cover the party arcanist's utility scroll needs for example.

- you have AR access to
- is useless to you, or you already have one so a second would be spare
- that they need
- that they have no access to

(example bracers of quickstrike when your a mage and he/she is a fighter)

in which case you can buy the item (or a second one) and "lend" it to the player in games you share with each other

Be the guy who steps up and takes the cash hit next time the party needs it.

Explain that you're doing it because somebody did it for you once.

Then maybe someone else will do it next time it's needed.....

Not all debts need to be paid back. Just treat others the way you were treated and it evens out in the end.
