Pickpocketing

Governs your ability to pickpocket. Your party's highest Pickpocketing skill is automatically used.

Using Pickpocketing
To attempt Pickpocketing on an NPC, right-click on the NPC then select 'Pickpocket'. You must be adjacent to the NPC, otherwise the pickpocketing option will be disabled. The Pickpocketing window should appear, displaying the NPCs lootable inventory and Pickpocketing succes schance.

Clicking an item will attempt to Pickpocket it. If you are successful, the item will be added to your inventory and the party will gain experience points.

If you fail, the NPC will become aware of your attempt. Usually NPCs do not immediately become hostile after a single attempt, but may after multiple Pickpocketing attempts, and alert guards.

Note: when you attempt Pickpocketing, only actually attempting to take an item and failing can trigger any warning or crime. This means that you can freely use Pickpocketing on NPCs without consequence, to see their inventory and Pickpocketing difficulty.
