[QUOTE="Ahrimon, post: 1702192, member: 12630"] I think one of the other players should make a bully character. Then they can take his stuff. Or have someone in the party be a really good thief and take his stuff, sell it, and buy the party other good stuff. Seriously though. Have another character that is played anal retentive, and as soon as the bodies have dropped, he is catologuing all of spoils. Besides, if something is obviously magical then the whole party would know about it. Probably because it was used against them. Otherwise how does this guy know he's taking the magical stuff? Is he casting detect magic? Have someone else do it too. Then they would notice all of the "extra" effects that this guy had and catch on. If he's ninja looting money and jewelry, well how much can he shovel into his bag without the rest of the party seeing/hearing? Shift some of the spoils to more obvious items. If the dead guy had a big cool sword around before the ninja got to him, this it's pretty obvious where this sword is. Don't any of the other characters get suspicious when this guy is walking around with tons of loot that no one found and still has cash to spare? It wouldn't take to long before the alarms went off with any attentative character. I've had characters like this before, they skim off the top, but they can't get too much without the rest noticing. Unless of course he's managed to convice the other players that their characters would look the other way. Maybee your other players need to step up and say "No I won't go look in the corner while you take care of the body. You have a better search check, so you go look." Or something like that. Some ideas Ahrimon [edit, some quick grammer changes] [/QUOTE]
