Pseudocode for pickpockets / steal in store:

pick pockets:
r = rand(1,100)
if (r == 100) pp_fail()
diff = actor->mod_pp_skill - target->mod_pp_skill
if (r >= diff) pp_fail()
if (target->mod_pp_skill == 255) pp_fail()

steal in store:
if ((actor->mod_pp_skill < store_steal_rate)
 or (store_steal_rate == 100))
	diff = 0
else
	diff = actor->mod_pp_skill - store_steal_rate
r = rand(1,100)
if (r > diff) steal_fail()

I assumed this was already known and didn't look further into it.
