[QUOTE="Skallgrim, post: 4808005, member: 79271"] If this character is really a kleptomaniac, and actually has difficulty controlling his urges to steal from others, it stands a real chance of being a major factor in the campaign (for good or ill, depending on your group). You have a character with a serious personality disorder/madness/behavioral problem, so it will have to be a major story factor. If the character is just greedy/curious/incorrigible, I can't really see a problem with it. Depending on your group, you can play this for thrills, or clues, or even for humor. I really can't see needing a chart; as a DM, you have to wing so much stuff anyway that I think you can probably just make up appropriate stuff off the top of your head. I have a related behavior with the rogue in our group. She is extremely "loot obsessive". She wants to know what the enemies were wearing, what was in their pockets, what gears she removed from the trap, what arcane components she yanked out of the ritual circle, what every object on display in the store looks like, etc. Not that she always, or even often, tries to steal them. It just, I think, makes her feel that the world is more real by exploring it with such specificity. [/QUOTE]
