[QUOTE="Ambrus, post: 2582339, member: 17691"] In general I don't advocate this kind of behaviour. It usually leads to hard feelings in and out of character, distrust, anger and perhaps even PC violence. Adventuring parties are supposed to be teams that work together to accomplish goals. That being said I'm afraid that I'm guilty of it as well, but not by choice. My current character is a gold dragon wyrmling (from dragon magazine #320). When we started the campaign we touched briefly on the topic of dividing loot, fairness and such. I stated that my character, being a young dragon and all would naturally be covetous and a little greedy even if he was lawful good. I stated my opinion as above and said that for the sake of the party and the campaign that I wouldn't role-play this aspect of his personality by trying to embezzle party funds. Some of the other players didn't agree with me though and thought I should try it because it would be "a great role-playing opportunity and fun". I told them "You don't understand, my character has a higher Int then all of yours and is a little devious. It's not a great role-playing opportunity because if I do it right you'll never notice it." They dismissed my objections and again encouraged me do role-play my character's greed. I shrugged. The funny thing is that I'm the only person at the table who is willing to keep track of the party's loot, to calculate values and divide it amongst the party. It makes a certain amount of sense that the dragon is the character most interested in counting money. :D By general consent we also keep an extra share on the side for party expenses. Guess who also carries that extra share? :cool: Usually I just use a little 'creative math' when dividing loot, diverting some funds to myself and another favorite character. All in all I haven't embezzled very much money, at least not enough to send up any red flags in or out of character, probably less than a thousand overall. It's as I told them, if I do it right they'd never notice. :] [/QUOTE]
