[QUOTE="havoclad, post: 3075755, member: 12020"] What are everyone's feelings about PC's looting the bodies of their dead companions? I've been mildly bothered in the past by my groups tendency to immediately divy up the possessions of the dead well before the body is cold. If I'm lucky, they'll try to do a proper burial. (Generally I've been the DM). In the current campaign, I'm a player and crafted the character to have a family that he spoke of often. During our last encounter, the poor guy died in the surprise round. (Hate when that happens) I was happy when the party did cast Speak with Dead the next day to ascertain the deceased desires. "Did he wish to be raised?" - No. "What did he want done with his body and possessions?" - "Please return all to his family, except for any charged items, which the party could keep" Total value of the charged items was about 11K (10th level party). This was a good start, but predictably things have gone downhill since then. I've kept out of the discussions because, after all, my character is dead! So, my questions are: Do other people play this way? IE, no thought to following a lawful inheritance policy, or following the wishes of the deceased. Does this bother anyone else, or is it just me? Thanks for listening, --Pat [/QUOTE]
