Section 1: General Thief Information
1.8: Are items which seem "blessed" for a period of time after stealing legal?
As of now, YES!
For those of you who do not know, since Publish 16 sometimes items recently stolen will be "blessed" (that is, rather, that
they cannot be lost by dying but can be lost by being stolen) for two minutes.
Here is the official word from OSI in early November 2002:
Lord-Xanthor - *Mocker* Why are items stolen by thieves now temporarily blessed? This allows thieves to keep stolen items
after ressurecting, ensuring 100% success for a play style which involves 0 risk. They can even call guards on themselves.
Was this intentional, or is it a bug?
Helios_OSI - It was an unintentional feature that we decided to keep in the game. It gives the Thief an extra plus.
Helios_OSI - Which isnt all bad.
Lord-Xanthor - *C_Mike_GL* Since Theifs are soo limited to where and what they can steal, will there be changes of the
theiving skill?
Helios_OSI - I wouldn't retire my thief just yet - that's all I'll say about that for now.
