The dwarf has a 6 Charisma and he's the de facto leader of the party simply because he is assertive. That and he has the leadership feat. The player actually roleplays the 6 Charisma very well by being gruff, blunt, and rude. But he manages to set party policy by leveraging the fact that he is a the one taking most of the hits. He is always the first into the room, usually the first to get hit, and the sufferer of the most deaths (two).His Strength, which is a 21 counting his belt of giant strength +4, is far better than any other character's meaning he usually dishes out the most damage. He is a dwarf with levels of exotic weapon master so his power attacking damage is quite painful. As far as roleplaying the other abilities that you actually roleplay (Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma), he does all of those very well. He is none too bright, but not an idiot (Int 10). He isn't the keenest fellow, but he makes the right decisions in a crunch (Wis 12). He is rude, conceited, and lacking in social graces (Cha 6; part of the reason he picked up a bard cohort, to remind him when to keep his mouth shut).Smart thieves certainly do! In a cosmopolitan city like Greyhawk, you can bet your ass that there are mages in the Thieves' Guild who point out soft targets like wet-behind-the-ears adventurers with more loot than they know how to handle.I'm not sure if you are aware of this, but 30% of magical items glow, at least according to the RAW (you may house rule that they do not, but that is another issue altogether). That's a dead giveaway. If you are wearing six magical items, two of them will probably have a rather unnatural radiance. So sans detect magic/arcane sight/greater arcane sight there are still ways for even the dumb half-orc thief to recognize you are carrying valuable stuff.</blockquote>
