 Using the pickpocket ability attempts to open the NPC's inventory for viewing and stealing items. Succeeding requires a certain amount of pickpocketing skill depending on the target's detection.

Since the detection scales off of character's level and perception, this basically means that you'll have to continue investing points in the pickpocketing skill ''(and ideally dexterity as well)'' in order to be able to steal (or steal more) from progressively higher level NPCs. Also, some items are harder to steal than others ''(e.g. heavy weapons and armors in comparison to smaller stuff like ammo and hypos)''.

	The way this system is set up it means that, unlike lockpicking and hacking, the outcome is not binary. Depending on your skill-to-detection ratio and the difficulty modifier of the item, you may be able to steal zero, one or more items from a given target. So investing more skill into pickpocketing will always be useful. Because there's no dice involved in the calculations, this will also eliminate the need for save scumming.

 Pickpocketing does not require [[Stealth Mode|stealth]], unless of course you're trying to steal from a hostile NPC.
