Hi, I'm a new player to the server and love it so far. I thought it might be better to suggest this now while the server's in beta: would it be possible to implement robbable npcs and houses? Make wandering npcs have random loot tables where budding thieves can practice pickpocketing, and robbable houses scattered around Baldurs gate and Beregost that you can break into and rob. This would provide another way for characters to make money and an interesting backdrop for some shady rp. I've been picking npc pockets but haven't found any goods so far.
Also are there general plans to expand the number of surface areas? You can't go east or west from Beregost.

While there is no rule against picking npcs pockets i would advice against it, I dont think there is a reaction script yet so if you were caught I dont think the npcs would do anything yet, so I would advice snagging a dm if you want to do some light or heavy lifting from npcs....at least for now so we can help add realism and potential benefits and or consequences

This is a good idea and one I have thought about for a while. Lots of thief PCs complain about a lack of need for a true thief in most PWs, which is something I want to remedy here.
Not only do I want to add traps and things to dungeons that require a thief, especially the high level dungeons, but I want to add houses and things they can rob.
So sit tight. Its coming for sure, just not 100% sure when.

it would probably make things easier if the houses that could be robbed worked off a series of quests from the theives' guild. add in only allowing certain quests at a minimum level based on difficulty and total loot and you can keep thief PCs pretty busy for a good long time.

I know, I hope to get those in this weekend. ;D
You guys are going to love the quests these guys have made. They are top notch. I just have to figure out the reset timers.
