If there are aspiring game developers who are attempting to write a P&P RPG, would you have any advice to give them? Would Paizo be willing to publish such games in the future if presented with a promising product?
I agree that it would have to be a contested roll. I disagree that it should be flat out disallowed or discouraged in any way shape or form from the GM or any other player in the group. Their CHARACTERS might have issues if you are caught. Reason being, this kind of thing adds an element to the group dynamics. If you are caught but the group values you enough, they let you live and just make sure to watch you more closely, or have you empty your pockets. I personally would not care if you played your character the way you wanted to. It is entirely possible you as the player wish to play out the thief, but later might have a sudden attack of guilt and decide to confess everything and pay give back what you took... Most of my characters would laugh, the get distracted by something that looks big and mean and fun to kill. The Avengers don't always play nice with each other. The group "rogue" person is usually the least trusted party member anyway, there is absolutely nothing truly stopping you from having your fun. |
