- the group gain a item which they cannot use
- the group gain a item which they do not want to use
- the group gain a better item to the allready gained items
All this events cause the effect that the chars carry one or two items they do not need anymore... I really haggled around how to solve this problem and in the last adventure we played I found a VERY decent solution to this which I hereby want to state...
I simply encouraged the chars to reward the not needed items to people which seems to need those items or to give the item to a temple or to a similar authority. This is off course rewarded not with gold but with experience points. Off course this could not allways be done with all items but at least with low level items, like a sword +1 and so on.

- the group gain a better item to the allready gained items

Most of my "pack rat" retired PCs are very rich merchants now :D
Actually the Stronghold and Kingdom Campaigns did allow for rewarding uncoming Hero's, didn't it?
A lot of PCs are 2nd and 3rd and 4th and 5th and 6th and 7th and so forth generation so "inherited Items" are possible when allowed.
