Or they just make sure the rogue picks up Sap Adept and knock their enemies out, strip them naked, THEN kill them.Has anyone ever set up a game where looting the dead is Taboo? Say an Indian setting where only the unclean could touch the dead and if you come into contact with the dead you have to be ritualistically cleaned, perhaps even have an atonement done?
These can be fun, and speeds up encounters. PC's can still loot any treasure just sitting in the open, but are less likely to do so. They may hire "unclean" torch bearers to loot for them and then pay to have the loot cleansed. The other big thing to make this sort of game work is a patron who is filthy rich and willing to pay for adventures done, either for a story from a bard, or for having an area/region cleared of monsters.
Still taboo, for you stole from someone you killed.
