I'm playing a gnome fighter, so I got the Pick Pockets skill. I never really bothered with pickpocketing before but some players really seem to enjoy it so I'm giving it a shot. However I'm finding it quite tedious and time consuming. My character is at level 15. My pickpockets skill is at 47 and improving gives me 1d5 points at the moment and I'm still failing a lot. I often have to make about 10 attempts or more per monster for it to be successful (or to find out the monster doesn't own anything valuable). The nicest thing I've stolen so far is bracers of toughness. I'm spending a lot of time trying to improve the skill but it goes really slowly and I'm wondering: how good exactly is this skill? How big are the benefits with this skill at 100, how big are the chances of stealing something reeeeeally nice, and is it worth the time and hassle for an impatient player such as myself?
