[QUOTE="spectre72, post: 1811455, member: 18885"] IMO the difference between rogue and thief are symantics. And I never stated that the paladin would be happy that the rogue/thief was stealing. I believe that there would be a confrontation eventually, but I will still not agree that the thief is "Evil". So the Paladin and the rogue have words, and the rogue becomes much more carefull about when and how he acquires stuff. Maybe he even fakes being reformed, but then is very carefull about taking stuff. ;) And at this point it does not appear that anyone in the party knows what the rogue was doing because he/she went off on their own. In fact it sounds like the character was very carefull about taking things out of view of the rest of the party. And as far as the luggage, maybe it belonged to someone who wasn't "Innocent". Perhaps it belonged to the BBEG, and he wants it back. There are many ways to curb rogues stealing everything that is not nailed down, but I have never labeled anyone as "Evil" because they take things that don't belong to them because if that is the criteria then almost every character is "Evil". There are circumstances when a rogue takes things and it is evil, but what he did was no more evil than looting the bodies of dead orcs. And as far as the Paladin associating with "Evil" characters and losing their powers, that has been discussed to death and really falls upon the DM in question to look at their campaign and decide. I am not even going to touch that topic. :confused: [/QUOTE]
