[QUOTE="Dross, post: 5564516, member: 33802"] I applaud the DM's style in providing interesting treasure and how the situation has been handled so far. As a DM I wouldn't "fix" the problem because it wasn't one that I made (for the record, I wouldn't have provided that type of treasure if I thought that the dwarf's necromancy=evil problem was still there, I'm assuming that Elf Witch's view was shared by the DM). As long as they had enough tools for future jobs I'd let it slide or adjust some things, bit I would not "replace" the treasure. As a player I'd be miffed about the murder and more miffed about destroying the treasure as, from the viewing gallery at least, the dwarf seems to have a problem reconciling same basic St. Cuthbert beliefs. The murder would not be lawful, and it wasn't punishing evil. I know a couple of my PC's would have said something along the lines of: "And just what does St Cuthbert say about leaving allies, party members or maybe even friends during a battle to rob them of items that they have gained through blood and toil?" I'm also happy with the player of the dwarf having a background and characterisation out of it. Where I do question the player is where the total hatred of necromancy comes from (with what we know, such hatred for Drow would be more acceptable). Given that it is not a in-game world view it has to be a character (or maybe religion) specific view. Since there has been 2 major instances I don't feel it is out of line for another PC to ask: "Why do you equate ALL necromancy with evil?" Then you could move forward in game about how to handle this. [/QUOTE]
