[QUOTE="Lord Ipplepop, post: 3212947, member: 39914"] [COLOR=RoyalBlue][FONT=Comic Sans MS]The group I'm in had a thief in a prior campaign that made it a habit of stealing from party members... and then acting comedically inncocent when he got caught. He didn't do it every game, and he very, very rarely picked on one character... and he never stole anything the character really needed. That character was one of the most memorable characters we've ever had. On the other hand... I inherited a group where the DM had the Monty Haul mentality, and the party was able to kill a huge red dragon at 4th level with the magic items we had found. I did something that the DM in this case would be wise to do (plus it would give him the BIGGEST giggle): Send the characters into a dungeon or cavern, or somewhere else the party cannot take their hroses, or the majority of their gear... then have the horses dead and the extra gear gone when they return, by way of an orc/kobold/ogre/troll attack. In one small sentence, I was able to get rid of most of the magic items and much of their monetary treasure as well, so they could not replace it.[/FONT][/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
