hmm... ok, that are bad news but
but imagine the following scene:
I've saved in front of an NPC and want to PP a specific item, let's say CoC. And I know the next try to PP it will fail. Is there a known way to get it w/o killing the NPC and getting hostile to his compagnions?
I'll try a few ideas next time when I get to an NPC an have an acceptable value in PP (which will be in a few days b/c I'm one of those players who delete their savegames and start with a new group every time they find a better way of developing their characters...

)
