Skill Details:
Simple summary to show how the begging skill works:
- Initially, your skill affects ONLY your success in begging. Meaning, it determines whether
you will be given some money or not. It does NOT determine the amount of gold you receive.
If you manage to get beyond 90 skill, shopkeepers will begin to give you gold and things change
a bit.
- If an NPC has 100 gold or more in its pack, it will give you 10 gold after each successful
beg. Note, even if that NPC has more than 200 gold in its pack, it will still give only 10
gold pieces.
- If an NPC has 90-99 gold in its pack, it will give 9 gold pieces. 80-89 will yield 8 gold
pieces, and so on.
- You can continue to beg from the same NPC until he or she runs out of gold. (or until he or
she has 9 or less gold)
- If your karma gets too low, there is a chance the NPC will refuse to give you any gold at all.
Where "low" means negative karma. If you have negative karma... see Reputation Title in the
Player Guide.
The most profitable NPC's to beg from are Nobles, Seekers of Adventure, Fighters, and
Paladins. If you're in for becoming a GM Beggar, you should concentrate on them initially.
Don't even think of wasting your time with shopkeepers, they won't give you anything anyway until
you're skilled enough. Additionally, you will need them as soon as your skill no longer
rises while groveling to your standard clientele.
