Robbing Shops

The game seems to produce somewhat strange and inconsistent effects when robbing stores. Might be intentional behaviour, but TB had mentioned that he was looking to close "loopholes and exploits" or something to that effect, so I figured this would be something at least worth having a look at.

Basically, when you rob a shop, there are six possible effects: Shopkeeper hostile; Town hostile; Curse; Doom; Alignment Shift Toward Chaotic; Summon Thugs. Depending on how you engage the shopkeeper will give different effects. From the Guidebook:

Code:
Action                            Alignment         Curse/Doom       Shopkeeper         Thugs             Villagers
-Teleport PC with unpaid items	  towards C         cursed           hostile	        summoned	  nonhostile
-Teleport Shoppie                 towards C         unknown          hostile	        summoned	  unknown
-Stun Ray, Paralyzation,          none              none             hostile	        none	          hostile towards shopkeeper
bolt spells, mindcraft 
while out of LOS or PC in 
Darkness
-Ventriloquism	                  none              none	     hostile	        none	          nonhostile
-Melee shopkeeper	          towards C         curse/doom       hostile	        summoned	  hostile
-Pick Pockets                     towards C         cursed	     hostile	        summoned	  nonhostile
-Unholy aura                      none              none             hostile            summoned          nonhostile
IMHO: The third and fourth ones should probably be tweaked a bit. I think having a method to rob shops without in any harmful effects, other than the hostile shopkeeper is a bit exploitable. These methods don't even trigger the platinum girdle, apparently.
