	~~Stealing~~ ~~from~~ ~~shops~~ ~~will~~ ~~result~~ in the ~~gain~~ of ~~[[Stealth]]~~ and ~~Thievery~~ ~~experience~~. Classes are also a viable way to learn the skill ~~with~~ ~~little~~ to no ~~risk~~. Stealing from other player characters has a hefty timer on learning and even then teaches very little of the skill.		The [[Breaking and Entering]] system is likely the most efficient way to train the skill, and is viable from 0 ranks, but comes with a variety of risks. The full page on the system should be read at least a few times before attempting. Stealing from shops (not related to Breaking and Entering) or NPCs is another good way, but does suffer from a snake eyes (critical failure) at all skill levels. Classes are also a viable way to learn the skill, but be advised that teaching or listening to thievery in a justice zone will result in a charge of aiding and abetting unless both the teacher and student are in hiding. Stealing from other player characters has a hefty timer on learning and even then teaches very little of the skill.

	Currently, it is possible to steal from a handful NPCs, such as the [[old blind beggar]], [[grizzled old war veteran]], and [[wandering minstrel]] in the Crossing. In Shard, there are the human juggler and flower peddler. In Riverhaven, you can steal from [[Jackwater]], [[old Maisie]], the [[Halfling Sailor]], and the young fishmonger (although the fishmonger ~~never~~ ~~carries~~ ~~any~~ coins). ON the 1st Tier of Ratha, you can steal from an old sailor and a peg-legged sailor. After stealing from an NPC a certain number of times (a number that varies depending on your skill level), a 15 minute timer begins, during which if you try to steal from the NPC again, you will most likely be caught. Stealing from the NPC before this timer has been completed resets the timer.

	The '''Thievery [[page type is::skill]]''' encompasses a wide variety of theft-related [[page type is::skill]]s. These include robbing coins from the pockets of characters (both PC and NPC), shoplifting, and stealing gems from players' open containers. ~~Stealing~~ and stalking are the two skills checked for the [[Slip]] ability. The skill also has a few more esoteric applications, almost all of which are considered game secrets.

More serious charges of are those of Pilfering from shops and "Felony Stealing", which is stealing from another player character.
