My general rule of thumb is that loot should be divided evenly across a Party to help oil the gears of party cohesion . But if you ' re playing a solo campaign and your allies are NPCs , why not ? I don ' t think your mistake was in wanting 75 % of the take it was in thinking you could win a facetoface fight against the Fighter . Take it from someone who played about as insidious a ThiefAssassin as one could imagine in 2 e for a couple years 1 your Character should sign a contract with any Allies you don ' t know especially when you are the only PC in the campaign . B Rogues don ' t beat Fighters in a battle of fisticuffs headtohead . They know where the Fighter sleeps and slit his throat in the middle of the night for 100 % of the take and whatever else the Fighter has in his pockets . Your DM did something that many DMs lack the experienceimagination to do running multiple NPCs at the same time who disagree with one another or are in direct conflict with one another . This doesn ' t come up much but that ' s highlevel DMing .
