I've never played a Thief class before, so my experience with them is limited to my use of Imoen and Yoshimo.  But I've always wondered what good pick pocketing is?  As far as I know the only good items you can pick pocket are a Ring of Regeneration from Ribald and the Ring of Gaax from Kangaax (although that's kinda cheesy) 

I'm pretty sure I'm missing something important here, can someone explain to me why pick pocketing is useful/what sweet items you can get from it?

You can pickpocket a bottle that summons an Efreeti from the Genie dude outside of the Genie tent in Tradmeet, before the Genies leave that is. Pickpocketing is a good way to get the loot from NPC's you wouldn't normally want to kill (like guards, etc). Sometimes they have high level spell scrolls on them. Perhaps there are other uses, but that is the most useful one that I've heard of.

Pickpocketing is not supposed to have militaric fields of application. That it does (for example when you pickpocket the head of the enemy instead of killing them) it's clearly a bug.

It's an ability that nets you extra money and items, kinda exactly what it says on the tin.

Also gets you a part of the Wave halberd in city-of-caverns. PP the prince. If you ask me, PP is more about fun than anything else. Well, at least *I* had fun doing it.

I agree that it's usually just for fun. However, for a serious role player who happens to be on the  side in a shark city run, pick pocketing the Prince is a lot easier on the conscience than killing both him and the mad King to get the loot you want.

Well, of course, stealing from stores can save you a lot of money. Often takes really high pickpocketing skills, though.

If you are a good guy in Shark City then perhaps you just distrust the prince to be a very benevolent neighbor for fishermen or whoever else might be in his reach. He sure gives you enough clues that he doesn't think very highly of non-sahuagin. Is that reason enough to kill him? Possibly...

Well, Keldorn would approve of slaughtering evil races like sahuagin and drow, but Boo might want you to set a more noble example.   For all we know, the Space Hamsters may have sent him as an observer to Toril to decide whether or not there are enough  "people" on it to justify not just neutron bombing it and starting all over again. After all the planet is infested with hoardes of evil gods, has wide open portals for both demons and devils, regards thievery as an honorable profession, and even its paladins are religious fanatics. I tremble for the fate of the planet

Heh, during my playthrough as a Paladin, I figured that allowing the Sahaugin to regain their strength would inevitably lead to conflict with humans.  I mean, they're clearly evil fishmen... which is why I took out the Prince.

(and I definitely did not want to loot his piece of The Wave.  Why would you even think that?)

Keldorn is a dunce. He would gladly wipe out the entire drow race, but a paladin is instead supposed to only protect the innocent from evil if necessary and for the rest try to redeem evil first and foremost rather than go all genocidal on them.



Then again, one shouldn't expect anything else from a follower of Helm, the ultimate dunce.

Keldorn follows Torm though. Honestly, of the super lawful gods out there I find Helm a lot less annoying than Tyr and Torm.

Pick Pocketing is an easy way to get high end loot fast or earn infinite gold. Once you have enough gold to buy Potions of Master Thievery you can run around Athkatla fleecing every potion and scroll seller blind. If you have enough unique magical gear or expensive gems, you can go to the Shadow Thief hideout and sell those items to the fence. Then steal them back to sell again. Repeat as needed to gain as much gold as you want. Not that it's necessarily in the slightest.

Pick pocketing makes gold nearly obsolete. You can steal almost everything worthwhile and will have more than enough cash to buy the rest.

And following the proper P&P rules vorpal swords are evil and it's forbidden for paladins to use them - because the enemy might not get a chance to surrender...
I find he plays the inquitor part pretty well.

[resiak]

Just out of curiosity -- do you get XP for pickpocketing? If so that might be useful for regaining lost levels after dualling quickly, albeit cheesily...

[Slyx]

No, no exp for PP'ng.
