hi..
just wondered if this has happened to someone more than me.. all off a sudden I can't steal from shops.. I always fail even though I boosted pick-pocket to 275.. the even weirder part is that I stole quite a lot a while ago.. no problems.. now all of a sudden it's impossible... anyone have any idea why??

I'm not for sure here, but I believe it's because the max value that can fit in one byte was set to be 255. If you go over this amount, truncation could occur. (In this case, more is definitely not better). So what happens is that your numbers will *roll* over. Making it like 35 or so. (I didn't break out a calculator, so I'm not for sure on the number).

overflow?? weird.. then they really need to educate their coders at black isle .. esp since the boost was completly legal (I only used a lot of potion of master thievery) .. will check if keeping inside a byte will work..
