[QUOTE="Black Omega, post: 1811534, member: 79"] I personally consider what happened to be evil, certainly illegal by the laws I know. But in the game/rules sense whether it is evil is trickier. Imperialus beat me to my main point though. Stealing in the situation he did seems pretty foolish. The murders are bound to be linked to the thefts by anyone looking into it. And the easiest thing to track will be the items stolen. I can't accept the suggestion that stealing from someone with rich luggage is ok since they are rich, we don't know the context. Someone fleeing an attack might grab a suitcase and put all their valuables in it when running. Stealing it leaves them as penniless as any poor peasant. On the other hand, if they really are wealthy, then they can afford to take steps to get their stuff back and the thief would have to know some people in his group would not defend him in that case. Other situations seem less clear, if the thief left most of the party in negatives and knew he was doing so, it's again very foolish, unless there is some good way for the character to know no other trouble might find them while he's gone. I know the feeling of being a highly greedy, borderline evil CN thief in a party. But CN doesn't need to mean foolish. [/QUOTE]
