EA Release - 0.1.5 Notes
Developer Notes
The new Hide ability for thieves will require you to start a new game to get the ability.
The pickpocket ability's attempt formula has been tweaked. It uses the thief's thieving skill, dexterity, and reflexes. The target's perception is used in the formula as well.
Thieving skill - base for Hide and Pickpocket - check has been re-worked. There is a base chance, based on rank, plus skill level when the check is made. The base is 30 for novice, 50 for expert and 80 for master.
Currently, trapped chest in game currently are set at a HARD level to disarm. These will be adjusted for the area the chest is located in future updates.
