Quick Answer

Theft is optional, but if you do it, prepare it like a small encounter: buff Sleight of Hand, enter turn-based mode, manage sightlines, and plan an exit. Random theft in crowded areas creates the worst consequences.

StageWhat To DoWatch Out
PrepUse Sleight specialist, Guidance, and stealth gearDo not make the heavy armor user steal
AreaCheck red sight cones and patrolsMove or skip crowded targets
ExecutionUse turn-based mode and leave quicklyDo not greed every container
FailureHave gold, dialogue, or escape readyDo not park the whole party at the crime scene

Key Checks

  • Buy key items before stealing from vendors.
  • Split the party to reduce shared consequences.
  • In Honour Mode, failed theft can snowball into a real disaster.
