Steal

Steal is a thief skill that allows you to steal gold or items from people. The chance of not getting caught depends on how well you have practiced steal, if the person is asleep, and the level of the victim compared to thief.

Due to misuse of the steal command, it is not possible to steal from players. You can still steal from mobiles at any level.

Also note that if citizens of a town see you stealing you will become wanted for your crimes in that town. Please note also that spam stealing (repeatedly issuing the steal command against one victim) is ILLEGAL and will be punished.

Example:

  > steal gold drunk

Ability to steal also makes you capable of guessing what one has in his pockets when you EXAMINE them.

This skill is considered largely useless, but might be worth putting one practice into it so you can see other people's inventories.
