Nice there are some great ideas here - yeah, your right the thief class did feel very OP...keep in mind a Wizard actually came equal first. Still I agree..the concept of a roll to see if your successfully pickpocket works good. What we could do is even not have a thief class at all and give everyone the chance to pickpocket...So a Warrior, Wizard and I don't know say a Ranger..
I think Gobbo popping up auto on a particular dice roll is a good idea, and im sure it could be worked out...I think need to be just one number of something...so say you roll a 1. which is a pretty crap number, bang! gobbo comes at ya. IF you win against him you get a positive item and get to roll again or something...thus not leaving you bashing your head at screen after seeing the 1 haha. but yeah of course if gobbo beats you, you still lose a life point anyways and must try again...something like this.
With all these great ideas i'll do a kind of summary post soon and maybe get people to upvote what they like best...
