How many attempts you get
| Per rest | 3 + (your Pick Pocket ranks / 10), rounded down. Bonuses from gear do not count |
| Against one player | 6 thefts. There is no such limit on other targets |
Resting clears the first counter. Resting does not clear the second.
The check
Your d20 + Pick Pocket against the target's d20 + Spot + the modifiers below. A tie goes to the target - you must come out ahead.
| Situation | Difficulty |
|---|---|
| the target is the same one you tried last | +5 |
| the target is already hostile to you | +5 |
| you are in combat | +10 |
| the target is in combat | -10 |
| you are sneaking | -5 |
| the target is in detect mode | +5 |
| the target can see you | +10 |
| the target cannot see you | -10 |
| the target can hear you | +5 |
| the target cannot hear you | -5 |
| night, outdoors, and the target has no Darkvision, Ultravision or True Seeing | -5 |
A blind target rolls without its Spot, with two exceptions:
- a blind target with True Seeing keeps its full Spot;
- a blind target with Blind-Fight keeps 25% of its Spot, or 50% if it is a boss.
Losing narrowly still steals. If you lose by no more than 10% of the target's total, the theft succeeds, but you are still caught: everything under "Being caught" below happens as well.
Being caught
- the target is told, and so are you
- Greater Sanctuary, Invisibility, Improved Invisibility and stealth are removed from you
- you cannot move for 2.5 seconds
- a player target turns hostile towards you
- anyone else turns, shouts, and attacks
While mounted
Being on a mount reduces this skill by 50.
