The rogue stole my paladin's pants

[Wolfspirit]

So, the female gnomish rogue in our party has secretly been pulling minor “pranks” on the party, such as pilfering the occasional arrow from the ranger or palming a few gems she’d find. This went on for about 7 levels before she finally got caught, and my Paladin had a stern talking to her about her theft, and she promised that she’d never steal from the party again.

So, the next day, she decided to elevate her pranks to a new level as we were going downstairs in an inn… “I steal his pants!” she exclaimed, a la The Gamers. My full plate greaves that I’d had on, to be specific.

My DM, nearly dying laughing, told her to roll it. A high roll, with a decent modifier, but he was going to give her a nasty penalty.

As per my luck, for my spot check I rolled a natural 1. Needless to say, it looked bad when a guardsman downstairs berated me for public indecency. Also needless to say, a large portion of the game involved us trying to catch our breath from laughing and various jokes about keeping my pants on.

Now my group thinks that they might need to get some Paladin Prozac. Please tell me something like this has happened to someone else, so that I can start a “Paladins Without Pants” support group.

The thief should have her hands removed

 

[Ottergame]

That'd be a pretty mean feat, to steal armor that is strapped around your legs, to remove your boots, then steal the padding underneith the armor, then to steal your pants under THAT without you noticing.

 

[Gez]

Make a lot of comments with heavy innuendo toward her. Like "hey, li'l cutie, since you want to see my divine grace with my pants down..." or "Now it's only fair you give me your own pants, right now, baby". And so on.

You should freak her out and she won't do that again.

while eminantly amusing, that move shouldn't have been possible, of course.

I think its conceivably possible, but very difficult.

A combination of Sleight of Hand to do it without being seen, Disable Device to actually remove them, and Bluff to distract the wearer from noticing.

I think the DCs would be close to epic level, i.e. DC 40.

It'd probably be easier to just use hypnosis.

while eminantly amusing, that move shouldn't have been possible, of course.

Public Service Announcement:

Hello, I'm Gutboy Barrelhouse. You may remember me as the pre-iconic Dwarven Fighter from the 1st Edition DMG.

I'm here today to tell you about a terrible affliction that you may not have heard about.

Many of our Paladin friends are stricken every year by a condition that leaves them ashamed, dishonored and yes, even with cold tushies.

I'm talking about... Paladins Without Pants.

The United Sages and Mages Congress is working a solution to this dreaded condition, but they need the all the help they can get from caring PCs like you.

Please join me, won't you, and give generously to Paladins Without Pants?

My Paladin should be a member of Paladins without pants.

See, he came from a culture that wears pants. But, where the campaign takes place, they wear kilts. On the very first day in this new land, he had his only set of pants destroyed by an evil Weretoad armed with some sovereign glue. Now he's stuck in those damn, draft kilts.

He mourns for his pants. Even wrote an ode to them (well... okay, I just said he spent time doing that, since my song writing ability is nil).

Ask MEG Hal for advice on how to handle being pants-less

That is, unless you've got kender blood in you, as this gnome apparently has shudders at the thought of a half-gnome/half-kender
