[QUOTE="Neonchameleon, post: 8046270, member: 87792"] A password, a key, or an exception list? In short something like people use in the real world rather than a spell that looks into peoples' hearts. And these are all much more interesting because they are much better to interact with. In which case I can just do what low end merchants do to protect their kitties - after all merchants probably have more worth stealing. Second alignment wards that don't block neutral people will not block a significant subset of thieves. Alignment doesn't work the way Javert wanted it to; stealing for survival doesn't make you evil. If any substantial number of people start using alignment wards then there will be specialities within the thieves' guild to get round them. Defend how? Are we each having a preach-off at the opposite end of the town square? Have we set opposed coffee mornings? Or is this low level warfare? Also as a priest of Sigmar why do you think that I'm going to have more trouble with the peiwar od church of Shallya the healer who has this ridiculous notion of healing our enemies as well as our friends and whose priests are sworn never to shed blood thus making them unable to protect those they care for than I am the local branch of the Church of Ulric that basically believes almost all the same things I do (Sigmar, when he walked the earth, was himself a follower of Ulric) but really doesn't like the competition?
