[QUOTE="Aaron L, post: 2582192, member: 926"] If its in chaacter, I dont see any reason why not. If the character isnt to be trusted, well, they arent to be trusted, and eventually the other characters will probably find out. Artificial restrictions on character actions "for the benefit of the party" or whatever really ruin any semblance of realism and enjoyment of a game for me. It would be like saying "ok, the Neutral Good guy and the Neutral Evil guy have to get along because youre the PCs." Let what happens, happen. Id expect actual consequences from the actions, however, whether its getting beaten up a bit, yelled at, or thrown out of the party, depending on the strength of friendships (or lack thereof) of the characters in the party. Id especially get really ticked off if a DM ever tried to dictate treasure distrubution to me, as that is something TOTALLY out of the DMs hands, on the same level as telling me how to play my character. Let me add, however, that if I knew that one of my fellow players would be hurt by the actions my character may take, I will, as another player who wants everyone involved in my game to have fun, not take said actions. Everyone having fun is my primary concern. And as a DM I would advise my players to do the same for the others in the group. But in all honesty everyone Ive ever played with was already good friends and already knew that in character actions werent personal and we were all playing a game and portraying imaginary characters, and we'd screwed each other with various characters quite frequently. Never anything lethal except for the rare few evil games, but weve stolen millions of gold peices from each other at times. [/QUOTE]
