Daggerfall:Pickpocket

Your Pickpocketing skill is automatically checked whenever you attempt to sneak an item off another person or engage in a little shoplifting. Not surprisingly, those with a higher Pickpocketing skill get caught less often.

Pickpocket's governing attribute is Agility.

This skill increases at attempts at pickpocketing.

• The chance to pick a pocket is (5 ≤ skill + level_difference*5 ≤ 95)%.
• The chance to successfully steal item(s) from the shelf is (skill + cost/32 + weight/4)%.
• Unsuccessful attempts at stealing increase the Stealth skill.
• Stealing from shelves does not increase this skill.
