>>I'm pretty sure this isn't the case, but does a higher level character (one well outside of the +/- 10 range) only looting affect treasure at all? ~Farmer
From what Gm's have said since the system has come out it would not.
The factors that apply are who helped to kill the critter, counting cman's, any spell that allows the creature to be hit (such as sleep, stun, etc. etc.) or an actual attack be it AS or CS based.
So if the character is say +20 levels above the critter and the only thing they do is loot it after it is dead the fact that the +20 character loots it should have no bearing upon the treasure generated.
The current system is completely different from the old one, where it factored in the looter.
