[QUOTE="sniffles, post: 3213020, member: 30035"] While I agree that the DM is partly at fault here, I doubt that you're going to get anywhere with changing his attitude unless all of the other players make the same complaints. It's hard to get people to change if they don't see anything wrong in their behavior. I've been involved in a similar dispute recently when one player objected to another player looting and not sharing with the party. The objecting player threatened to drop out of the group. I found it unreasonable that she should expect the other players to cater to her opinion, and I think that's true in this instance as well. I dislike letting a player conflict show up through character action. I think it's inappropriate for the cleric to do anything until the [U]character[/U] is aware that there is something objectionable going on. The cleric's player shouldn't be asking for extra Spot rolls to catch the rogue looting, nor should the cleric's player threaten the rogue with any consequences unless the character has good in-game reasons to suspect the rogue of dubious behavior. If it's really bothering the cleric's player then that player should talk to the rogue's player. But as long as the rogue's player isn't doing anything outrageously obnoxious then maybe the cleric's player should just get over it. What does it really matter if your imaginary characters don't have equal amounts of imaginary loot? [/QUOTE]
