Cutpurse skills

[Manicrack]

shouldn't the cutpurse in the man city setting have the sleight if hand skill, or something similar to pick pockets.
I am asking cause I want to make a character who constanty picks pockets, and i can't fuind one in the city setting with an appropiate skill. Or am i just blind?

Hey Manicrack.

It's just another example of Luke's ignorance. :twisted:

From another thread:



9. Cutpurse doesn't seem to have an actual skill for the picking of pockets (or the cutting of purses, as the case may be). If it were YOUR game and you had a Cutpurse who wanted to ply his "trade", how would you do it?

This was a poorly researched judgement call. At the time I felt that cutpurses were skillless scum who were merely inconscipuously at the right place at the right time.

I've recently come upon in my research a description of the cutpurse and pickpocket trade. I now firmly believe that these types of LPs should grant Sleight of Hand (and one additional skill point to use it). It should be an optional skill, not required. (You might be a cutpurse lookout or accomplice, not the actual thief).
