You have a very low chance of pulling it off, but the game should not place silly arbitrations of player choice just to be able to later claim that the player wasn't given a choice to do so.Those are the kind of rules you throw away as bad game design.It doesn't excuse those who designed the game, not does it say that you can only do what it called "sleight of hand".I didn't ask for a fighter to do magic tricks, just to pick someone's pocket.Again this would be a player flaw in trying to follow silly rules.I mean if a road had a sign saying detour to turn left off the side of a cliff, I hope no one would just follow that and think for themselves instead.So the fighter is not asking to use the skill "sleight of hand", but to just pick someone's pocket.So while Sleight of hand skill cannot be used untrained for some dumb reason, where does it say you must attempt to use sleight of hand in order to pick a pocket?That is a big problem in trying to compare them, just like why you can't really convert them, because they have so very little in common. In order to compare them, you would need to only compare what they have in common to see which really looks better.</blockquote>
