Message: <blockquote data-quote="D_Sinclair" data-source="post: 2589624" data-attributes="member: 21823">I always thought that the thief stealing from the party was a tradition, rather than the exception. Always seemed to be an important cog in the game, figuring out how and what the thief was stealing from everyone.Last thief I played was a female human in 1st edition (only due to a gender stat bonus, thank you very much) who developed a talent for spotting small, highly valuable things. All I can say is 9000gp is chump change compared to her pilferings. By 11th level, she owned a house in the rich neighborhood of the city, a tavern inside the city walls, a fortified roadside inn about 1 1/2 miles outside the city (see WFRP 1st edition for the general floorplan), and had them all connected by a rather sizeable and deep tunnel, all paid for via her pilferings. She was chaotic good with kleptomaniac tendencies and very nimble fingers. It was very common for her to steal from party members while keeping overnight watch ("I'm going to go check on the horses, be back in 10 minutes"). And thanks to working a system out with the DM, "scouting ahead" became a great dodge for her as well. Everyone listened in hearing that she grabbed this item or that items, always something big that couldn't possibly be hidden successfully, though she did "try" to hide them just so she would be caught quite obviously trying to swipe something. In reality, she was snatching up every gem she could find and pocketing them and using the obvious theft to distract attention away from her true theft. Of what she snagged, she'd separate the high value from the junk stones, but always saved the junk. See, the party also used her for the treasure appraiser, so she regularly substituted junk for some of the high value stuff she was appraising for the others.</blockquote>
