Did they change pickpocket in EE?

[Yuffie]

Heya folks,

I just started the EE and arrived at Beregost, where I tried to steal Algernons Cloak. In classic it was always possible, but now the message says that Algernon has nothing to steal in his inventory, although you still see the cloak if you kill him. Is this working as intended?

Thanks in advance!

You haven't told how high your skill is.

Stealing the cloak works with 65-70 already, if you're lucky. Else you may need to retry or return with a higher skill.

Ah, as far as I knew, there was no "stealing with high enough skill". I thought it's either a success or a failure, but if you success and still no item is taken, then the person hasn't got anything with a stealable tag - thus recieving the ingame message stating that nothing can be found?

[Yuffie]

Wow, thank you good sir. That's a very helpful answer!

Page 41 of the latest Adventurer's Guide comments on that table and thieving, too.

Skill 80 for cloaks may be alright - I can't tell whether it was 65-70 with or without bonuses.

Actually Algernon has his cloakin his quick items slot (!) An so it is stealable (is that a word?) if your cut-purse has pick pockets of at least 50.
