[QUOTE="Cernor, post: 6510634, member: 6780066"] This is one thing that bugs me: If the rogue finds a certain amount of wealth in a chest, how much is considered "bad form" or "impolite" to skim off the top? 10%? 20%? 10gp? Enough to make the remainder divide evenly? If the rogue finds a hidden treasure, like a ring buried in muck, is he supposed to share it with the rest of the party even if they had no hand in finding it (and in that case would even a good-aligned rogue keep it for herself?) I think that stealing from another PC is where I'd draw the line of "gone too far". Stealing from random NPCs can be a nuisance, skimming off the top of a treasure hoard shouldn't be noticed, but stealing things from other PCs sows distrust and irritates the players, which tends to make the game experience less fun for everyone. And if someone gets annoyed that a rogue (whose sole reason to go adventuring is probably to get rich quick) takes a bit more than their fair share of the treasure, that's when the DM starts telling the rogue what they find via note.
