"Are you saying it's an upwardly mobile hive of scum and villainy?"

"A 10% cut on selling our loot for us? It's a deal. We'd lose more than that to the pickpockets."

_Not_ heard was anything like "What do you mean he rolled a 35 on his pickpocket check? A 10th level Rogue would need to roll a natural 20 to do that!"

I don't have those kinds of arguments with DMs anymore. What the 10th level guy was doing picking pockets for 10GP a go in marketplace is a setting fracturing question. My 10th level character's +16 Perception is ridiculous enough.

I did say "You know, some of the things they could pull out of my pockets go boom don't you?".
