steal money victim

Try to steal money or an item from any character, player, or mob, including shopkeepers! Rings, bracelets, earrings, and items that revolve around can be attempted to be removed from the body (if the victim sleeps), and all other items can be snatched from the inventory. Heavy items are harder to remove from the body -- and the victim may wake up.

The chance of success depends on skill, dexterity, as well as whether the victim is sleeping or can see you. It is more difficult to steal from shopkeepers or nearby guards. There are penalties for stealing in law-protected zones by the Order of Rulers.

Be careful: in the event of an unsuccessful attempt, you will get a thief flag (T), and any player can attack you! Kenders get caught a little less often than others. Characters higher level than you will attack you if they catch you stealing.
