So, in my current D&D campaign, the rogue of the party is very fond of saying "Are there drunk people around? There are? I pickpocket one."
Since he does this so often, and tends to succeed, I'm just making a couple percentage charts for pocket!loot.
Right now I have two charts. One is basic stuff (small change, spools of thread, fishhooks and the like). The other has slightly nicer stuff (larger amounts of money, packets of spices, and a couple windfalls like jewelry). I'm considering moving the windfalls to a third chart, so I'd have "mundane," "nice," and "extraordinary" for stuff. Which chart would depend on a) his target and b) his degree of success.
And now I'm looking for suggestions for all the charts.
Here are the charts themselves:
(By the way, not everything on these is or has to be actually useful, or even harmless. Diving into a stranger's pockets can have negative consequences.)
