I was speaking to Rufus earlier after having taken the quest to get the key back. I decided to try to pickpocket the key, and saw in the combat text that I rolled 7+0=7 Success vs DC 93. Something seems odd there. I have no ranks in Pick pocket, obviously.

I think it might have to do with the fact that they also gave a lot of characters a PP skill of -33 behind the scenes so that no one could use it against other PC's. If you do a *roll pick pocket check* you'll get some fatastically unusual results.

I think this issue you're seeing is related to the attepts to stop griefing using PP.

He means when he chose the pp option i'm pretty sure, and that should be a normal roll. of 1d20 + pp = x vs. A reasonable DC, which it did all the way up to the DC and got success anyway.

Those all should be adjusted properly for pickpocket (quest skill checks, rolls). I'll look into it.

Yes, the DC set by the quest was 93. My result was a 7. And I still suceeded.

Should be fixed in v798.
