The hobbit pickpocket, h, is a monster that appears in EvilHack and Hack'EM. In versions prior to 0.7, they are known as hobbit rogues. They are similar to the "base" hobbit, but have an additional theft attack similar to that of monkeys, and may carry some of a rogue's trademark tools.
Generation
Hobbit pickpockets may occasionally generate as peaceful towards player hobbits, as well as any chaotic or unaligned player character.
Like regular hobbits, hobbit pickpockets have a chance of being generated with the following: one of a dagger, a elven dagger, or a sling and some flint stones. They also have a 1⁄10 chance of generating with a dwarvish cloak, and an independent 1⁄10 chance of generating with mithril elven chain mail. They will also receive some gold, with an additional 1⁄8 chance of receiving a lock pick and a separate 1⁄6 chance of getting a sack.
Strategy
Hobbit pickpockets are slightly tougher than the standard hobbit, and their chance of carrying a sling and flint stones makes them somewhat dangerous for early game giants. However, they are not much more difficult to defeat - a giant in particular can easily flatten one with a thrown boulder.
Hobbit pickpockets are a good early source of unlocking tools, containers and even armor for most characters.
