Definitely wasn't me. How many times did you resist the robbery?

I'll try and add more feedback for you all in the scripts.

Looks like the little jerks have a will, a CHA, and a spot save that all have to fail for them to steal. I find it mildly crazy they’re so successful against so many. Though the saves are all probably pretty high.

Close. Its a lot like the normal pick pocket with some caveats.

PC makes a Will save + 2xCHA Mod against a ~DC17 (added some +/- flux) to resist the theft. Wands are harder to steal, potions a little hard to steal, and scrolls the base.

From there he decides whether to eat it or hang on to it based on how tasty it is and luck. So you can increase your will save to beat them, but its more efficient to up your CHA.

PC then makes a normal spot check against the Pick Pocket roll of the thief. If spotted he'll go hostile so you see him, and he has critical failure on a roll of 1.

Translation: the dweebs own Murgen. He is eyeing a nice vacation villa to shelter in while this plague continues!

Since we are handing out information, what is the save versus their knockdown? Is that standard, or is it also a Will or CHA save? I didn't see any information about what was going on when one knocked Murgen down three times in one fight, lol.

It is supposed to be a will save, but I didn't have a way to implement it well. As such I just used "Bolt, knockdown" which is a ranged touch attack, which Murgs should fare much better against!

Also for info on it I had some fun hunting them solo last night using methods to "flush them out" ala alchemist fire and it works well if you're careful!

Basically the script fires when the dragon first sees you LOS, so if you are careful about how you move you can usually triangulate their position within 2 or 3 theft attempts. They do move a little bit (I added that in to give folks with listen a chance to find them) but it can be very effective for hunting them without spot/see invis. It is very much like "hunting" and you really have to track the bastards!

[ayergo]

Oh, and forgot to mention if you succeed the spot check they definitely will not eat your item right away. If you fail there is a chance they will eat it, but odds are in your favor it will be on their corpse when you kill them (unless they decide to use it in combat).

the only notice I got was "lost x item" in the combat window once was actual potion from inside one of my bags once was a bottle spirits

I might also suggest that "listen" can spot an invisible stealth'd creature and there is a level 1 bard spell that grants +20 listen:

Now if only we had a bard on the server!

Thank the Gods that a certain DM takes pity on us.

What do you want to bet that none of the Bards have that spell ?

I know a bard college nearby that might be able to rectify that. Ponlin had that spell though. RIP.


I'm going to roll up my favorite pure bard character tonight and test this out. Look out for more bards on server! Woooo!

Well that Will save explains why clerics have done pretty well against their thievery.

.. Wands are harder to steal, potions a little hard to steal, and scrolls the base...

Hmm. Wonder where cloaks fit in the list? Harder, I would suppose since they weigh so much more.

Not harder when you smell like a yak's anus and aren't sure which end of the comb to use!
