[QUOTE="Codragon, post: 203793, member: 1924"] A 2nd level PC has managed to trick and steal from an 8th level NPC! That alone is a tremendous feat of skill and luck. Well, luck mostly. How'd he get drunk? Aren't dwarves known for their high CON and FORT saves? How'd he get to 8th level and earn these powerful items if he lost them so easily! I'm assuming this dwarf isn't a total dimwit, or else some 2nd level twerp would have stolen his axe a long time ago. I'm guessing the PC had some very high rolls and the dwarf had some very low ones... If the PC continues to steal from folks 4 times her level, she's going to get caught sooner or later. HAS TO. Based on the odds. But since we've established the theft [I]was[/I] successful.... For future theft deterrents, we need to know a bit more about the dwarf and the campaign. If the dwarf has some evil bent, you'd bet he'd be going after the PCs, and her possesions and her party. If you want to avoid fatalaties, have him hire out the thieves' guild to get his items back, and to nonlethally punish the PCs, perhaps stealing some of [I]their[/I] items. [/QUOTE]
