[QUOTE="kigmatzomat, post: 2648787, member: 9254"] It can happen. It's not exactly common but if the characters have acquired the long view (aka wisdom) [i]and[/i] trust each other they won't quibble over personal power. The wise adventurer realizes he's only one person and that by increasing the strength of the party as a whole he improves his odds. More targets on their feet equal more people to share in the abuse. The same goes for offensive power; if someone is harmless they get ignored. So the best plan is to keep everyone on an even keel. With proper external reinforcement, even the selfish characters will learn to purchase the good will of generous NPCs with gifts and the like out of self-interest. IMC the greedy rogue/sorceror doesn't immediately go for the most powerful magic items. For one thing, my NPCs take advantage of Detect Magic and tend to target people with lots of mojo so he doesn't want to stand out. Second of all, he's hunting a particular set of magic items and doesn't want any arguements. [/QUOTE]
