[QUOTE="Vlos, post: 1810936, member: 15447"] First, have to agree with LordPen above. I have played thieves in many campaigns (probably one of my more favorite toon types) and stealing never came into an issue. The paladin knew I was a thief in fact, and often yelled at me as he suspected, as he never caught me in the act. He took it in his code to try and show me the proper way as others should act. IIRC the thief did say he was going to go off and check for other raiding members. If he came across one, he probably would of acted, but he came across "a pile of treasure" first. Being a thief (which he is regardless of alignment), means he steals. He just decided that before he finished looking for more bad guys, he would check the pile out, incase one was hiding in the trunk on the bottom. Also since he is a thief, and could not handle a lot of thugs at once, his party mostly died in the process, he may think he can find something in the luggage that will help him, or even better yet, the item that the thugs were looking for so he can "safe guard" it. He is a thief, he steals. As stated by many others, stealing from dead is part of the DnD game so I would not penalize him for that. If he had to go in to a jail cell to free his party members who were caught, and killed a guard, and while retreaving the keys found some coins, I don't think the party members would yell at him for pocketing the coins even though it did take him longer to free him.
