Anything we Paladins should be aware of coming down the pipe in regards to this?
I like hearing that it'll be stealing vs perception instead of stealing vs perception + stealing, so I hope that means perception will mean more.
I understand that perception is THE defense (especially for us who can't/won't train stealing) in the future. It's actually the higher of the 2; stealing or perception.

The biggest drawback I see is that I won't get to kill as many thieves because they won't be hitting me up as much, if ever. I seriously doubt thats a drawback to many though. :D

Perception = 42
Stealing = 41
Defense for stealing = 42 (only uses perception)
Perception = 41
Stealing = 42
Defense for stealing = 42 (perception + 1 rank of stealing)
Few, if any, non-paladins are going to have more stealing than perception so the practical rule-of-thumb is Defense for stealing = Perception.
J'Lo, no that other one

Zeyurn said if stealing is higher they'll get "benefits" from it, not that it'll replace perception in the formula. for all we know that means if perception is highest, it'll be stealing vs perception, but if stealing is highest, it'll be stealing vs (stealing - perception)/2 +perception or something like that. or it'll do something else completely.
i don't think they would just let someone be able to ignore perception and focus just on stealing. that's like letting someone have their HE ranks work as parry if HE is higher. so who would need parry in that situation (empaths?).

Eh, just hang out in Ilithi. I've only been attempted twice in the last year, each time by a traveling Ragran to boot. I don't rmember much of an issue in Theren really either(as opposed to Riverhaven). I suspect the higher circle-ish the area you hang out in the less you need worry about that sort of thing.

There is a discussion in the Thiefs folder about the stealing rewrite.

>>There is a discussion in the Thiefs folder about the stealing rewrite.
...yeah, but GM-Z said that discussion was for the thief aspects of it only, and the survival folder was for the general mechanics.
and, since i'm asking about the parts that pertain to paladins (clarity, HoJ, sixth sense, etc), i'm asking here. since if the thief folder was for thief-only aspects of stealing, i'm assuming it isn't crazy to post about the paladin-only aspects here.

We clearly veered away from that, but yeah. To wrench this back on-topic, nobody's said anything about updates to paladin abilities, beyond the necessary changes to make them compatible with each other.
