Pickpocketing
Pickpocketing improves stealing from unsuspecting people and lowers the chance of being caught; the source says Stealth is also needed to approach victims.
How it works
The original-game perks page says Pickpocketing allows stealing items from unsuspecting victims and that increasing it lowers the chance of being caught, which could lead to jail or a fine. It says Stealth is also needed to sneak up on victims. The skills passage says the skill makes street theft easier and lowers the chance witnesses see it. It also names Pickpocketing as requiring training to advance above level 0.
