    The only thing that concerns me with these changes is that if you look away from your screen for like 15 seconds now you could theoretically lose one extremely valuable item (like a quality forged weapon) if you roll poorly on the pickpocket chance.

    Hypnosis: 8.3 seconds from start to post-seal balance
    Mesmerise: 10 seconds without action from the Serpent
    Pickpocket: 5 seconds minimum (max Dex reduction)

    This is assuming you're simply holding the item in your inventory. I can think of at least 5-6 triggers off the top of my head that would ruin various points of the above, and make it near impossible to steal anything. I can think of a relatively simple system to make theft still 100% impossible. I leave it to you to figure these things out and implement them.

    People need to not AFK period. Journal, go idle on a ship, or just QQ the game.

    Would also pay to see Hammers of Forging stolen :D

    Yeah. Only thing that's a bit unsatisfactory is that the way past lifevision is entireky impractical for most purposes. Having to get a hypno aff stuck before even starting your main offence seems unfeasible.

    Lifevision illusion detection shouldn't exist at all.

    who has keys but no key ring? :/

    I guess a fool and his keys are soon pickpocketed.

    Whoever made this thread, thank you for giving everybody a one-stop shop for future theft tears. I for one look forward to it immensely.

    I just AFK at battlements and enemy anyone who snaps me and isn't on the list.

    You're welcome. I'm looking forward to having my system tested again.

    Question though, it's not possible for you to force us to unwear stuff anymore, or it just takes longer than going after something in the inventory?

    You close your eyes momentarily and extend the range of your vision, seeking out the presence of Drugs. 
    Though too far away to accurately perceive details, you see that Drugs is in Mhaldor.

    Removal of items is still forceable, and going after an item takes the exact same amount of time, provided you succeed at the roll. Granted, you have to strip selfishness and keep it down while getting them to remove the item, so you're looking at a limited opportunity.

    On the Serpent side, if you get the "Pacing towards <so&so>..." message, you're going to grab whatever you went after assuming that they don't leave in the window of pickpocketing. If you fail, you'll get the "You are discovered!" message instantly.

    Questions
    No option to guarantee a hidden hypno prep without mesmerize?
    Does the vigilance prevent additional serpents from trying item theft? So no pick pocketing gangbangs?

    Most importantly can you shrug curses or only venom delivered affs?
    I suddenly feel sorry for apostates having to compete with shrug and tree balances?
    Also what endurance cost to shrug?

    Ahem, Occies too. I've been lead to believe that it's a tree clone, but can also cure para.

    1. No idea.
    2. From what I can tell so far.
    3. Regular pickpocket is still open, targeted is one-shot.
    4. 250 mana for a tree tattoo that ignores paralysis in favor of vernalius.

    I haven't tested all affs of course, but yeah, seems to be a tree clone, able to cure para, and stopped by weariness instead of the tree stoppers (meaning it can be used while paralysed, with broken arms, etc.). It's indeed a boost against non-venom affliction classes.

    No endurance cost, but costs 30 willpower and 250 mana.
