Knock also expends a resource and creates a clearly audible knock up to 300' away, hardly a stealthy action.We aren't really talking about peons, though, are we?  In a small town, the targets you hit are merchants, not farmers, and even they can't afford very hard difficulty locks or magical seals very well.  Plus, they carry a good deal of coin or goods that are valuable, so it's not pocket change we're really talking about.  If you have a small town that your rogue rolls through and robs with impunity and comes up with only a few 100 gold, I'm asking what kind of plague or war is currently raging on the streets.And, actually, the fact that other level 12 NPC rogues can do it as well exacerbates the problem in the fiction, it doesn't solve or ameliorate it.  You now get to come up with reasons they aren't making enough money to live extravagantly knocking over the occasional D&D version of a small bank every other week. You can do this, certainly (and I have), but pretending it's a trivial effort is ridiculous.</blockquote>
