| BREAK: Make Physique Great Again | Started by: TonyTheTailor on Sep 04, '25 16:47 |

Marksmanship increases the number of shots you can take, one point equals one whack. Stealthiness makes it harder for people to spot you in the same city. Defence boosts survival chances when you are shot, with an extra boost when maxed. Streetsmarts increases vision, and when maxed lets you remove NPCs from locals. Physique increases crime success rates. The problem is that no one really trains Physique because you can grind crimes naturally to push that stat without spending Hustle Points. That means one fifth of the Hustle Point system is basically ignored. Proposal: Enhanced Pickpocket for Physique If you max Physique, you unlock a souped up version of Pickpocketing Current PP up to 15,000 per attempt. Max Physique would allow you to steal 35 to 75 percent of a target’s on hand balance Key points - The actual reward is random within the bracket so you cannot predict the hit. - Cooldown stays at 1 hour like regular Pickpocketing. - Stealth still applies which means you risk being caught and forced to pay back (or shot) - Optional balancing could include a hard cap such as a maximum of 5 million per Pickpocket. Why this works: It makes Physique worth training rather than being a filler. It creates funny and dramatic moments when people lose big chunks of cash. It adds relevance during wars where crews could drain rival wallets strategically. It encourages more Hustle Point spending which is healthy for the game economy |

I like the concept behind this. It would certainly deter people from walking around Obscenely Rich or Richer than God if they knew that half of it could be yoinked from their on-hand cash... Course we also might see an uptick of PP-related deaths? That could be fun though. |

+1 If someone has 3m of cash in their wallet and I PP them, why the hell would I take just $15,000?? |

Whilst I would be on board with this, it was capped at 15k because the feature was immediately outlawed. I think if there is a possibility of people losing more than 15k this would fall out of favour again. Personally, I'm all for it though and welcome the challenge of anyone trying to steal from me and having their skull cracked in response. |

Yeah good points there. I'm was just trying to find a way to make Phsique more valuable. . The % people can take can be tweaked off. I wonder if thus we're implemented how many people would be entised to max |
