The hobbit pickpocket, h, is a monster that appears in EvilHack. In versions prior to 0.7, they are known as hobbit rogues. They are similar to the "base" hobbit and have an additional theft attack similar to that of monkeys, as well as possibly carrying some of a rogue's trademark tools.
Generation
In addition to standard starting inventory, hobbit pickpockets have a chance to be generated with the following, as with regular hobbits: one of a dagger, a elven dagger, or a sling and some flint stones; a dwarvish cloak (1⁄10 chance); and a 1⁄10 chance for any armor they generate with to be made into mithril elven chain mail.[1] 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.[2]
Hobbit pickpockets may occasionally generate as peaceful towards chaotic player characters.
Strategy
Hobbit pickpockets are slightly tougher than the standard hobbit, and their chance to carry a sling and flintstones 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 and containers for most players.
