[QUOTE="Greenfield, post: 5701600, member: 6669384"] I've seen this before. We call it the Tasslehof syndrome. Our solution was to warn the PC once, then execute him when he ignored the warning. As for how to stop... Traps. Magical ones work. [I]Magic Mouth[/I] can be fun, particularly if the DM is down with a little creativity. Consider placing the spell on your pouch, with the trigger being "If opened or handled by person X". The words it should say? Make it bark and snarl like a rabid dog. Because, according to the spell, it will move as appropriate for the words spoke, you should be able to make the opening of the pouch slaver and pretend to snap and bite at the thief. Yeah, I know, that's a bit over the top for what is supposed to be a special effect, and it certainly won't do any damage, but like I said it calls for a DM who's down with a bit of creativity. Besides, it's cheaper than a [I]Bag of Devouring[/I]. Still, the BoD combines traps and execution, so I'd seriously keep my eye open for one. (BTW: I'm serious. We killed the PC. And when the same player tried it again with another one, we killed that one too. There's nothing like being in combat and reaching for an item you need, only to find that your party Rogue was playing a prank, and his sense of humor just got someone killed. We sped up the process, and made sure the death was the appropriate one.) [/QUOTE]
