[QUOTE="ARandomGod, post: 1704737, member: 17296"] Heheh. Definitely. In fact, see my suggestion above for a nice "cursed" item that removes his other ill gotten loot. And all with only ONE curse! This works well combined with spot checks and all on its own. Also, remember, a character who's likely to cast such a spell (Wisards and clerics) are also likely to really notice. (High Int and Wis) Of course, you might have bards and sorcs instead. They'll possibly need something extra to know what's going on. I imagine a LOT of it will be obvious. Him: "Hey, where'd you get that sword" NinjaLooter (NL) "I've had it all along. Her: "Wait, weren't you wearing armor with a different logo yesterday?" NL: "Yes, that got dirty, so I'm wearing this new armor now." Everyone: "Mrmmm" So... that statue with the gems pried out? "Like that when I got here" And those goblins lying stipped of their possessions, were they here too? "Yup" And that chest, with footprints your size leading up to it, a strand of your hair in the lock, and one of your lockpicks still stuck in it? "Empty when I got here." And what's in that big bag behind your back?? ([url]http://www.giantitp.com/cgi-bin/GiantITP/ootscript?SK=29[/url]) Definitely. And if they're not making it, be sure to give them a magic item with +10 to spot. Be sure that it's obvious loot, or given specifically to a character. You can take it away later if need be. Definitely... These people shouldn't just walk away from where treasure should be, come back to be told by the mysteriously richer and richer character that there was no treasure, and not suspect SOMEthing! This is where I disagree. There's nothing evil inherent in stealing. Stealing is inherently neutral behavior... possibly chaotic behavior, depending on local law and personal agreements. I'd say chaotic neutral maybe, but no evil just for stealing. [/QUOTE]
