[QUOTE="GameDoc, post: 6379502, member: 53915"] I'm going to go with the others and say the DM needs to put a stop to this unless this kind of thing is part of the dynamic you're going for and all the characters have opportunities to get one over on each other. BUT - just for the sake of making a fun, vindictive, antisocial suggestion, it's kind of like standing up to a bully. Make stealing from you not worth the cost. You know he did it. Use a damage dealing cantrip on him and let him start the adventuring day with fewer HP. It's a cantrip, you can throw it at him all day. Or use prestidigitation to cause minor effects that screw up his actions. In role-playing situations throw him under the bus with NPCs - charm them and convince them to refuse him business so he can't buy or sell goods and they know to call the watch down on him if the item he was eyeing winds up stolen. Use disguise self to assume his form and have him wed an orcish princess. But do it titt for tat. Only on the days he steals from you. The message is don't mess with me and I won't mess with you. But seriously - just get the DM to have him quit. [/QUOTE]
