Issue description
In Arx Fatalis the ability to steal from NPCs is granted at exactly 50 stealth points, in Libertatis it requires more than 50 stealth points (at least 51). I guess the wrong logical expression is used in the script: x > 50 instead of the correct x >= 50.
Steps to reproduce this issue
Create a new character and try this out with the cellmate NPC.

What version of Arx Fatalis are you using? With 1.21 here I cannot pickpocket anyone at stealth == 50 - > 50 is required just like in AL. That seems to be the correct behavior intended by the scripts (which aren't yet patched by AL): 
  1. IF (^PLAYER_SKILL_STEALTH > 50) {
  2.   IF (§fighting_mode != 1) STEAL_NPC
  3. }

What happens if you save a character with 50 stealth in AF (that can pickpocket) and copy that save file to AL. Can you still pickpocket? What number does the stealth skill show up as?

Okay checked it out and you seem to be correct, for testing I used a character who already had 52 points in stealth but got a debuff by equipment to 50, which doesn't seem to be correctly applied in Arx Fatalis 1.21/not taken into account for that check. Anyways thanks for your help and clearing that out.

Hm, could you attach that save? If the debuff differs from vanilla AF I'd still like to figure out why.

Skills are stored as floating point numbers internally - even if the stat screen displays 50 it might actually be a little higher than that.
