No argument will toggle between the two states of the option, an argument will explicitly switch this option on or off. SEE ALSO --- NAME backstab - backstab a living creature SYNOPSIS backstab with DESCRIPTION You can sneak at a target to backstab it. This skill requires a knife or a dagger. The sucess is determined with your sneak skill compared with the target's awareness. Then backstab is checked and the damage depends on your skill with the weapon. OPTIONS --- SEE ALSO sneak, hide NAME peek - peek at the inventory of another living SYNOPSIS peek DESCRIPTION Examine a living creature with this command to notice the items the target is carrying. Note that peeking at someone's inventory can be a lot harder than stealing, since with this command you try to find out _all_ the possessions of a person. SEE ALSO --- NAME showtitle - show your title on introductions or not SYNOPSIS showtitle showtitle on|off|yes|no DESCRIPTION With this command you can select whether to show your thief title on introductions or not. No argument means to give the current state of this option, including your current title, an argument will trigger this option on or off. SEE ALSO --- NAME steal - steal something SYNOPSIS steal from DESCRIPTION This command enables you to steal something from a living or from a place. Living targets can be examined with 'peek target' and 'watch target' before. Note that the awareness of the living target is checked. If target is an object or a place, it enables you to take an object without anyone noticing. Note that there is a recharge time required before you can use your steal command to your full ability again. Issuing a lot of (different or the same) steal commands in short succession will never be successful! Examples: 'steal knife from elf' 'steal coins from someone' 'steal item from box' 'steal something from bag of human' 'steal coin from here' SEE ALSO 'help steal' 'help thief peek' 'help thief watch' NAME watch - watch a possible victim SYNOPSIS watch DESCRIPTION With this command you observe a possible victim. You can find out how alert it is before you attempt to steal something. SEE ALSO --- NAME pick - pick a lock SYNOPSIS pick pick on DESCRIPTION With this command you attempt to pick the lock of a door or a chest or whatever. Both versions of the syntax are possible, but usually the second version has a higher chance to work. The first command (pick ) has the problem that the command processor may confuse the attempt to pick the lock of something with the attempt to pick something up.
