[QUOTE="Sadras, post: 6340290, member: 6688277"] I appreciate the replies. Further clarification. The result was the Barbarian, with modifiers and discounting that he was [I]Invisible [/I]scored a 15 while the Wizard scored a 10. The mass combat with the knights vs the enemy was mostly down-timed with me rolling every round to see if the PCs were made targets by the enemy or the knights/squires they travelled with. The Barbarian [I]Invisible [/I]as he was had just under 10 rounds to steal the item. There is also nothing stopping me from ruling that the item was stolen before the party left for the ToEE as the wizard only saw the item the night before, but that is certainly a bit of a fudge! I must admit that would have been my usual response. Can't argue with that. The barbarian thinks the wizard PC is possessive (although honestly the wizard player plays himself). Thankfully the players are too thick-skinned and familiar with each others quirks to let this be an issue. No, his carry backpack is pretty light. The heavier stuff is in the saddlebags which was left on the horse he rode on to get to the Temple. They were not on horseback during combat. Fully agree. As I said, I was attempting experimenting with the "yes" train of thought. You could say I'm more of the "Mother May I DM" which I don't find anything wrong with it, and the players all know where they stand. Even in cases where a "Mother May I" scenario comes up - we usually discuss it as a group. Negotiation between DM-player/s are normal. I would agree I was too lenient in this situation. Thing is, what would the DM's anti-"Mother May I" styles have done? Just offer a high DC like 18-20 or higher still? [/QUOTE]
