Hey there. I just recently bought the game and compendium, and I'm really enjoying it; it really brings me back to my first PC in the 90s, playing The Bard's Tale 2. I noticed one thing I wanted to suggest, though. In a lot of CRPGs (this one included) gold is handled on a per-character basis. While this does make sense (everyone has their own money) I feel it'd be really useful to have a "Divvy gold" option below "Pool gold" to split the gold as evenly as possible among the party members. This would be particularly useful for quick purchases at shops and the like; rather than having to pool gold for each character to buy what they need, divvy the gold before you go in and buy all the little things on the character's own tab. Then, if you really want to, pool and divvy the gold again to keep everyone roughly equal, or don't if you really couldn't care less.

Though I guess the player could always do the math themselves and use the bank to serve the same purpose. :P

Anyway, just thought I'd throw in my $0.02. Thanks for making a great game, and I'm looking forward to more!

This would be nice. In general, I have fat fingers and often when I call up a character, instead of successfully scrolling right or left to see the items list I get the gold pooled instead of the character's item list. (this may be a bug. I am not hitting anywhere near the pool gold button, but gold gets pooled, frequently.)

Divide Gold would allow a quick undo of this.
