pick-pocketing needs a fix

[flamingfist03]

So basically my char stole an item that is too big then put it back? Right.....
Please fix that appropriate item is stolen.

[flamingfist03]

Is this one getting any attention? 30% of successful pick-pocket skill usage does nothing!

Afaik that is working as intended

[Kalopsia]

Working as intended, yeah.
Only items that use 1x1, 1x2 or 2x1 inventory space slots can be stolen, with some exceptions. The item "Out" is a key: while it's a 2x1 item, keys cannot be stolen, hence it is returned to the owner's inventory.

I understand that yes, why my charter tries to steal something that is not stealable?
Shouldn't he be stealing from things he cannot steal? I mean come-on, it is obvious flaw in the algo of PP,
the check should be preformed on 1x1 or 2x1 items not all inventory if you'd limit t he size.
Now it looks like you successfuly steal something and then it is returned back.

Also does that mean I can attempt again?

+1

[malcolm_mountainslayer]

I too would like to know if he can attempt again
Wait is the rule 1 attempt or 1 stolen item every RL day?

If latter, then he should be able to attempt again.

[JustMonika]

My understanding is it's only -successful- attempts that count.
You're allowed to steal once a day, not attempt to steal.

That said, it should always be done with the aim of creating roleplay.


Also, Question -
Keys can not be stolen.
Keyrings are 1 by 1 items. Can they be stolen?
