Message: <blockquote data-quote="Thanee" data-source="post: 1537157" data-attributes="member: 478">Stealing is not as bad as killing.As a very rough statement, stealing is chaotic and killing is evil.Of course, this is not always true. Stealing from a poor family would certainly be an evil act as well, while killing an evil demon is certainly more a good act, than an evil act. It always depends on the situation.My CG rogue with high pick pocket skill only stole from those who could afford it, for example. That's surely anything but lawful, but it can't really be seen as evil as well. It led to some interesting situations, like when she met her future romantic interest. She stole his purse on a market and after checking the loot, discovered a signet ring (the man who the ring rightfully belonged to was a noble of rather high standing), which in that country could be used for quite a bit, if you were unscrupulous enough. Since her primary alignment is good, she didn't want to do any harm to him and gave it back, altho she could net quite a sum for the signet ring of a high noble. Of course, she bluffed him into believing, that he actually lost it and she spotted it and picked it up. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /> In another situation, when the party came across an overturned stage coach, which must have been attacked by bandits, she climbed inside to help the two women that were lying there unconscious, a younger woman and her rather corpulent governess, who was almost suffocating her protege with her weight. So, while the paladin and LG cleric were right outside of the coach, she picked only the governess' jewelry - hey, it didn't suit her anyways <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":p" title="Stick out tongue    :p"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":p" /> - to "punish" her for almost killing the other woman indirectly.I think that is within the limits of CG behaviour, altho certainly stressing it a bit.ByeThanee</blockquote>
