Stealing

[Robbbb]

When attempting to steal from a character that has nothing on them it gives you no message. Unable to determine if the character is perma grey or not.

[Magnus Bane]

This isn't a bug, his/her backpack is just empty, and the message reads "You reach into the backpack... but find it is empty"
Us thieves use this as a tactic to get blues to attack and be guardwhacked.

[Ulfrigg]

Question is then, is that era accurate to use that bug?
