[QUOTE="Sound of Azure, post: 3069759, member: 40749"] As others above have stated, stealing from other party members tends to be a very bad idea. In most cases, it breaks the social contract and can promote mistrust and resentment with the group (both RL and in-game). Certainly not something an Exalted-type character wants to do. Taking the idea of a VOP Rogue, though... I had the pleasure of getting to know this one fellow a couple of years ago. I met him playing chess in a park one day, and he invited me to play. I wasn't very good, but he encouraged me a lot. I found out later that day that he was a homeless guy, and feeling bad for him I gave him some change before I had to head home. He accepted the money, but he also gave much of it to some other people in the park, who'd been gathering there. He said they needed it more. This guy, he was very kind and generous. Life had just given him a poor hand in recent times. I observed him standing up for others (he certainly knew how to [I]sneak attack[/I]! :)), as well as defusing violence and conflict. He also showed me to many places I didn't know about in my new city, and illuminated a lot of local history and flavour. I also got to meet a number of other great and wise people because of that man. I still remember him fondly, though I've since moved away from the area. If I were to make a VOP Rogue, it'd be like my old friend. I'd recommend reading the first couple of chapters carefully in the Book of Exalted Deeds before starting on your PC. Playing an exalted character is tough, and I think you could have a lot of fun with such a canny, wise, and generous character that your fellow players can love too. Good luck! :) [/QUOTE]
