I tend to turn the snubbing of beggars into a role-playing gimmick
myself; my cleric launches into a speech (macro'd, at this point) about
how The Mother of All loves her children, and gives each the
opportunities and chances to earn their success through their own
abilities blahblahblah. Basically ending up saying "Tunare helps those
who can help themselves. Here's a couple of buffs, here's a tarnished
dagger - go get 'em, tiger."
