-PP (pick pocketing of PCs)

We will file suggestions here that did not make the cut. Don't expect detailed responses, but the most common reasons are:

  • implementing the suggestion is impractical, or too much work for the gain
  • the suggestion is thematically against our design philosophy
  • the suggestion is too detailed/low-level
    Keep your suggestions broad and focused on RP benefits, please, not detailed suggestions of how to fix everything.

-PP (pick pocketing of PCs)

Post by Seekeepeek »

I found that often when people use the pick pocket skills on other players, it's used with a minimum of rp, and is often a "click and run" thing. That leave the target with little chance to react. Not only that, but even it's done properly.. there is the chance the victim will act upon ooc information if an item is returned to them cause of size, plot item ect. so i will suggest making a scripted version of pick pocket and make PCs unable to be pick pocketed unless using this.

1. Get close to your target.
2. Type -PP
3. Your fixed close to the target, (like -scry but without the invisible and removal of the ability to type.). you loss control over the toon and you break stealth. you are close to the target for as long as a normal -scry last were you can roleplay stealing or attempting to do misleading body language.
4. you make a pick pocket skill roll (something you can do on most servers when your alone by using a dice bag. the target make a spot roll aswell in this way (nothing is stolen yet) both rolls are invisible to the players.
5. At the end of the -pp if the theif is successful some script will select a 1x2,2x1 item or gold from the target. avoiding the items that is'nt suppose to be pick pocketed.
6. optional: remove the only steal one item from each player per day and make it a feature used once per rest.

no idea if this possible at all, as i have no experience with scripting, just wanted to make pick pocketing more personal and less ooc. :?
