Open Discussion: Pickpocketing
Posted: Sat Sep 02, 2023 4:08 am
This is specifically regarding the pickpocketing skill. Personally I'm of the mind to disable it as an active skill entirely. For one it's very broken and can steal anything not plot marked from a targets inventory with only a DC30 check that is hard coded. This means keys/Plot/Faction items or even things such as armor and clothing. Against NPCs it does much the same and has the downside of even if you are visible and pickpocket NPCs don't consider it a hostile act.
However I do think keeping it as an RP centric skill is useful and allowing people to roll it against NPCs with DM overview or against PCs with the other PC then agreeing what to hand over.
