The PP script is in play and PPing is allowed, however. Its up to you as a player to not abuse it. Common sense is paramount when thieving and if you stand there and PP someone 5 times in a row and get caught you have no one but yourself to blame when the hammer falls on you.
Act like a real thief would. PP someone and move along. If you get caught PPing the same person over and over you can expect to spend a week in the dungeon or possibly even perma killed if enough players start hunting you.

FACT! The PP script is in, and it was on the list of things to change for OT to drop the PP LBS. down to like 1.9 or less. This is because Rapiers and Short Swords were not intended to be stolen from players.
So for now, it is allowed. If you steal a Short Sword or Rapier then give it back to the player please, or at least send them a tell allowing them to RP get it back.

To clarify, if we catch a thief and PVP kill them, we can RP taking them to be jailed and they will be then?

The 1.9 lb limiter should be doing exactly what it is supposed to be and has been in since last update.
There is one very important thing to keep in mind though -
The script cannot work for your items unless you 1.)drop all of your gear and 2.)pick it all up again. You will only ever have to do this once. Once you have "Acquired" the item - it will not allow "heavy" items be PPed.

Some basic questions...
Can gold and equipped items be PP?
Have I totally missed a place in game where I could stash my gold and smaller items (potions)?
Would it be considered proper RP to have the inventory screen up to keep an eye on items when a halfling is in the area ( I could notice something missing without the message )?

That last remark was a lil racist doncha think! *says the hin*
But yes it would be bad RP to say somthing if you truly didnt get a message that you saw it. Thats why theres a roll check for the skill. There are more races then just hin that can be a rogue btw. I think as long as its just once you shouldnt say anything without the real skill being checked. If you have the inv screen open and see an item drop then just be cautious. if you start seeing more and more items I would prolly say somthing or kill them then. I think that people who abuse the skill give those of us who use it for some rp value a bad name. lol its funny to see a group of 11 people standing around and when a hin comes near they give him like a 20 foot clearing to make sure his hands are clear. Another point to make is if a rogue is in your party i dont beleive they can PP you. I tested it on another server but not 100% sure here on BG. So give the rogues a breka and give them a group invite if your afraid of them taking your belongings

Personally, I believe that if one is looking at his inventory when someone walks by and it disappears, it's safe to say that he noticed the pickpocket. This happened to me once as I was rearranging some gear and a couple items went missing. But this is just if one happens to have the inventory open. I do not think anyone should walk around with the inventory screen up for the sole purpose of catching pickpockets.
