Pickpockets

[Guest jonesy]

When you put a HUGE number of points into the pick pockets skill for a thief, (i think over 230, could be higher though) you end up fail every time past a certain point. the same applies for stealing from shop past this point.. odd.

I think (but am not certain) this is a game engine limitation--scores over 255 (which can result when you consider dexterity and racial bonuses) wrap around to small numbers, as the maximum value for the field is 255 (2**8 -1).

and there's no way of hex (or otherwise) editing the exe to increase the limit by declaring more than one byte?

Nope.
