Picking Pockets
Skill, Thieving
Lifting small items or cutting purses from people without being noticed.
From the book
Picking Pockets is the pickpocket's and cutpurse's trade: lifting small items from pockets, or cutting a purse or pouch loose, without the owner noticing. The chance is 35%, plus 5% per level.
A failed roll means the theft did not come off, and there is then an even chance that the intended victim catches the thief in the act. Rogues learn it at first level and charlatans at third.
