Are the Thieving rules changed at all?
What with the update of being able to put many many maaaaaany times more items into a single stack than before might the rules about taking said stacks need changing?

Isn't there a weight limit on pickpocketable items?
Re: Are the Thieving rules changed at all?
I don't believe there is a weight limit, but you cannot pickpocket an item that surpasses 1x2 in your inventory slots.

Re: Are the Thieving rules changed at all?
Is it possible to pick pocket say gem bags thus getting dozens and dozens of items at once?

Re: Are the Thieving rules changed at all?
im not worried about it, it just seems like a really obvious glaring oversight. and with this logic you would have to go out of your way not to use a pretty good (awesome) new system.

You've always been able to steal stacks before. The rules of pickpocketing will remain the same. I also wouldn't call everything a glaring oversight.Diilicious wrote: ↑Sun Aug 05, 2018 5:09 pmim not worried about it, it just seems like a really obvious glaring oversight. and with this logic you would have to go out of your way not to use a pretty good (awesome) new system.

Re: Are the Thieving rules changed at all?
I know you have been able to steal stacks before... the point is now instead of stealing a stack of.. 99 arrows, you can steal 500+ arrows all at once.. instead of stealing 10 heal potions, can you steal what.. 99 of them or something... the amount you can potentially steal from somebody in a single action has like octupled, before they would have to wait ten individual IRL days to steal that amount of stuff from you.

Re: Are the Thieving rules changed at all?
Items come and go. I think that's been the trend on arelith for ever. Lose something to a bug/glitch/reset? SoL. The game's theme isn't about micromanaging resources.

Re: Are the Thieving rules changed at all?
well at least theres potential to have said giant stacks of items duplicated as well as lost, especially with how "enhanced" the edition of the game is.

Wouldn’t it be possible to adjust the pickpocket script to only remove one item (or 1d4, perhaps scaling with hard PP ranks?) from a stack that would otherwise be stolen?

As said above, the rules aren't changing. If you're worried about losing high amounts of stacks, start splitting.

Or get blade orbs.
It's not like this really changes anything, stacks of 99 diamonds were already at risk for pickpocketing before gem-pouches were introduced.

Re: Are the Thieving rules changed at all?
Do people actually pickpocket on this server?
Re: Are the Thieving rules changed at all?
Occasionally. I've only ever had someone try to pickpocket my characters once, that I'm aware of - although it's entirely possible that I'm just hideously unobservant and failed the spot check every other time.
May you live in interesting times.

Re: Are the Thieving rules changed at all?
Keys are 1x2 and couldn't be pickpocketed. I think that things like key rings and gem pouches can't be pickpocketed. Not 100% sure but would really defat the use of a gem pouch if someone could just steal all your gems at once.

No.

Re: Are the Thieving rules changed at all?
Nowhere in the rules does it say that you can't just take a bunch of split stacks, re-organize them into one stack, and then steal that stack. There's no way to prove someone didn't do just that, or that you had your items split into stacks in the first place without taking screenshots.DM Titania wrote: ↑Sun Aug 05, 2018 6:55 pmAs said above, the rules aren't changing.

How is this enforceable?

The logs tell us exactly what was stolen. Good luck with either side trying to lie. They also tell us how often pickpocketing happens, which is far more than this thread would like to believe.

Re: Are the Thieving rules changed at all?
I was unaware that the logs keep track of what goes on inside the chests themselves as well. This is reassuring, and my concerns are allayed.

Re: Are the Thieving rules changed at all?
Every time you open a quarter chest, you get a message saying that your actions are being logged. Potentially, every single item transfer everywhere, from corpses to inventory, player trades, chests, barrels, crates, can be logged and saved.
This stuff isn't being monitored with outdated security cameras in the corner. Literally every single thing you or anyone does on Arelith is sent as a request to the server. It knows everything.
