[QUOTE="Ozmar, post: 1999515, member: 8021"] That's all fine and dandy then. You want to loot your evil foe. Especially since he may have a potion of escape ropes or something in his pocket. It was the first time he looted a body? What has he been doing with previous defeated foes? Or this was the first time he "concealed" the looting by stuffing the loot in his pockets? I gather that the paladin thought that he saw the rogue trying to hide his looting from the party. Otherwise, why would this even be an issue. If that's the case, then I would expect the paladin to confront him, although, being the high-CHA good guy that he is, I'd expect that he would take the rogue aside and confront him privately first, rather than accusing him outright. After all (again, you would think he'd assume the best of his companions) the rogue may have good reasons for it, or maybe the paladin misinterpreted what he saw. At least he might confront the rogue in a way that lets him know that such actions are not welcome in the future, and that the paladin is watching. No cultural taboos that I am aware of, although I gather that the Silver Flame is generally more strict and unforgiving than some other churches, so perhaps this particular paladin is more Lawful than Good? He may have a desire to keep the rogue under control, or to evict him from the group, and is using the provocation to make an issue. That's not ideal LG paladin behavior, IMO, but it might be perfectly in character for this particular paladin. Not all holes, but it helps. Ozmar the Helpful [/QUOTE]
