You will get things like 30-50 Charons, or 1 Medicine (health hypo or Adrenalin for example) or whatever ammo they have, including stacks of 100 bullets from most guards. With (50) effective Pickpocket you can take 1 item from almost every friendly npc you meet. With (120) you will pass all but a hand full. With (100) in both skills you will pass about 95% of the checks in the game. The highest Lockpick check is 135, but there is just 1 chest with that requirement and it contains random crap loot. The highest Hacking check in the game is 130, at a computer terminal, therefore you can't use any bonuses from a tool.
I'm trying to go for a dagger stealth build. Originally posted by Strifeboy:New at the game and trying to optimize a bit, what do these skills cap at, Hacking, Lock Picking and Pick Pocketing.
