Hey all,

Call this idea OP if you want but I had the idea that if monks specified up to grandmaster in monkey style they could get the steal skill. Why? Because monkeys like to steal, and when they do, that's amusing. Of course, for monks, this is going to be more limited than thieves since monks can only carry 20k gold and can't blackjack people unconscious either, or really even want weapons and armor, but I figured it could be funny. I think we've all seen youtube vidoes of monkeys making off with people's cameras and shit.
Anyway, we could look through the other grandmaster specs and see if we can find other skills. I surprised myself with this idea to be honest

Love it in a RP side of things but I do feel its kinda OP.

Steal is like THE core skill of thieves, which I feel really dilutes them even more right now if you give it to monks. A pinnacle monk will be infinitely more annoying then a thief with steal. They'll just keep healing and stealing and saccing. Just because they don't want weapons/armors, doesn't mean you can't steal them and sac them. Which is what thieves do most of the time anyways.

Maybe it could be like a temporary steal for armor/weapons? Like they steal it away right before combat initiates, and drops it back to you if they flee. That way there is a combat advantage, but not a full thief steal.

it'd definitely just be GOLD ONLY because monks dont get peek, and also they have a gold carry limit so they drop it so its all for lulz, and I'll do something to prevent a quick steal/sac 1. if it gets that far

Gold, keys, jewelry, and treasure. Inventory only and involuntary.

Is stealing (specifically coins) counterintuitive to the austere monkish lifestyle that is probably the backbone of monks having the 20k carry limit?
