Good ideas there. I would add that a player's luck score should have
a lot of influence on ability to steal from a shop. So, a player that
wants to PK /and/ steal is truly "out of luck" and will have a much
more difficult time stealing from a shop. A 'luck 0' score would mean
luck has no affect on the percentage chance of getting caught. A luck
score of +1 or greater means the player has an exponentially greater
chance of stealing successfully. A luck score of -1 or lower greatly
increases the player's chance of being caught exponentially as the
score goes down. So, someone with 2 PKs (luck -2) would have a much
harder time stealing than someone with a luck of 0.
