Is a Rogue “skimming” treasure as he finds it “Role playing” or is he stealing from his adventuring companions?
If you have a player doing this, is this something you need to take care of as a GM?
How about if you are a player and another player is doing it? How do you deal with this?
And what if you are playing a rogue who is “Skimming”? does anyone have the right to tell you how to “role play” your character?
What do you all think? Thank you.
I had a player like that in one of my groups. He consistently took the more expensive items so he could sell them to make magic items. He did this even when the item he found could benefit another player, and would absolutely refuse to give the item up, in and out of game. It got to the point where he spent 30,000 gold to make a magic item, while I only had about 3,000 after having saving gold over the course of about a month.
If you have a greedy rogue, teach him a lesson by putting a cursed item in the next few treasure chests. So long as he doesn't have Detect Magic, he'll have to start relying on his party members just to safely access a new items. You can also have the owner of an item he found come looking for his property. OR you can implement a system that evenly distributes items among party members. It takes time out of the game, but it works. That's how I stopped the hoarder in my group.
