[QUOTE="Man in the Funny Hat, post: 2591828, member: 32740"] Agreed. And I haven't suggested otherwise. If a player wants his character to steal from other characters that is the players decision. Agreed except when [i]failing[/i] to get involved in it becomes as problematic as doing so - just as previously noted. Agreed. However the situation of greater DM involvement is forced by PLAYER actions. Players don't always do what is in the best interest of ALL players or the campaign in general. It is then the DM's responsibility to get involved as deeply as needed to keep things under control. Which is why immediate, greater-than-normal DM involvement is a good idea. Whether it's well-roleplayed or not you cannot ignore the fact that it comes down to one player depriving other players of the rewards for their characters to which they ARE entitled. It's a situation that is rife with potential misunderstandings, hurt feelings, and heated disagreements. [/QUOTE]
