Here is the info:

Pallie's perception:Perception: 130 74% learning
Cleric's stealing: Stealing: 11 92% perplexed

>steal jeep
You silently work your way toward XYZ.
>
XYZ puts his orb in his armor pack.
>
Your armor hinders your attempt.
Moving carefully, you slip your hand into XYZ's pockets and carefully grab a coin.
Roundtime: 2 second.

Perception is over 10 times as high as the stealing yet the attempt was successfully. There is always the luck but this is too much.

Enjoy.

Um on the reverse, i can steal off someone with 10 ranks with my over 100 under 150 ranks, and they can catch me the very first time. Neither instances should happen really.

It's safe to assume every of my stealing attempts is a big risk.

PS I think the stealing re-write will correct matters. I think the issues are known where they really matter, though no harm in the periodic reminder, heh.
