heehee, decided to try pickpocketing firkraage for the holy avenger sword yesterday so that keldorn could smite the dragon with it straight after.
by then, jan had a close to 100% pickpocketing ability, but it failed. i held my breath for the next few seconds, but nothing happened. all firkraag did was to turn his head prettily and bat his eyelashes. i was kind of surprised he didn't turn hostile. anyway, that was a close shave (since i didn't make any preparations for combat when i made the attempt). |

Having a Pick-pocket skill of 100% does not mean you have a 100% chance of a successful pick-pocket.

Yep, even with a %200 pickpocket skill you can fail. And you cant pickpocket some NPCS and creatures.
-just an advice, dont spend your picpockets 90 or 100 is enough they can be increased with special items or potions- ------------------ "Not for your eyes only, also for your beautiful ears.." Yngwie J. Amadeus Zoltan "Diamond Guardian of Aerie Lovers Sacred Band" |

I know this is nothing new to all those who have been "playing fair", but I was so happy that I managed to kill both the shadow and red dragons without using a single trap yesterday.
In the shadow dragon fight, Minsc and Jaheira got killed; in the red dragon fight, my bf died. I don't understand why Minsc, Keldorn and Jaheira were walking around in fear for the second fight, though. After all, I did cast resist fear which helped my PC, bf and Jan remain in action. Both times, my PC the kensai-mage got the final kill after a series of lower resistance, pierce magic, breach and lightning bolts Poor bf, he was actually pretty heroic after all but no credit was given to his contribution of 3 holy smites. :~( The greatest surprise was that Jan was still alive; thought he'd get killed outright with so low hp compared to the others. |

Firkrag is acually quite simple to kill if you get the right spell mix of offense and defence, I wont spoil, but i managed to kill him without a single spell and only 2 hits fromk minsc and Lilacor , how? Well that'd be telling
Watch The dragons attacks, take note of his morer dangerous ones, and plan a defense. |

in tob the max pick pocket is +-280 and sometimes it still doesn't work.
that's very frustrating. and i don't think you can steal from dragon's or other npc's. |
