    I did say background choices help, yes, but even with proficiency in Perception you have a better than even chance to fail a DC 15 check to get pickpocketed by a novice thief up until level 5. And there are times where you might really need those other options and are unable to fit it into your build.

    If someone's pickpocketing you, you shouldn't be the one rolling. The pickpocketer should be rolling against your Passive Perception.

    Depends on the situation, but in that scenario your odds are even worse since that brings the DC down to 10 (or 9 if you have a WIS penalty, which is quite common for Rogues).

    That would depend on how you resolve the situation in particular. I don't think there's a default way laid out by the PHB or DMG. A lot of DMs will make you roll both a Stealth check and a Sleight of Hand check to see if you can 1) actually lift the item, and 2) do it without getting noticed, so you'd have to succeed both checks to pull it off. Others would increase the Passive Perception DC based on the environment and awareness, in the same way that dim light puts a -5 penalty on Passive Perception. Lastly, if the target would be actively looking out for you trying to do something (like an enemy you're fighting in combat) then you'd probably use a Perception check at that point rather than the Passive Perception DC.

    10 + proficiency bonus if you're trained in Perception.

    What if I resolve the situation by keeping magical bear traps in my pockets that clamp down on anything that passes through them without a magical ring, but actually the ring is a red herring and it’s actually a magical tattoo I have that deactivates it just for me and if anybody without the same tattoo tries to get fresh and knicks the ring to put it on and pick my pocket it’ll blow their fingers off because it’s actually a small bomb

    What then

    Then you're playing 3.pf, so the cost for that arrangement was far too steep.

    I believe I should get some kind of an autism award for this.
    Spoiler:
    UA4: Compound Doujutsu (Aspect)

    The character possesses eight different eyes, of which only two can be opened. By default, Joubin's Eye and Sharingan Eye are activated. At the start of the character's every turn, they may roll a 1d10, to determine which eye they could manage to open. They need not abide by the result, but if they do, it replaces one of their currently opened eyes.

    1-2) Sharingan: The Wheel Eye. When this eye is selected, the character may immediately make a Knowledge check costing one partial action less. If this eye is not active, Acquired Kekkei Genkai: Sharingan cannot be used at all.

    3) Ketsuryuugan: The Imperial Blood Eye. When this eye is selected, it allows the character to use the Blood Razor Jutsu [Projectile / Rng:25 / Spd: One Partial Action / Dmg: Special] immediately as a free action, and subsequently as a partial action while the eye remains opened. It uses Ninjutsu attribute and any elemental skill for for the attack roll. They can make it deal any amount of damage up to the total amount of Injury the user has lost during the encounter. Further uses of Blood Razor may use whatever is left of the pool, or newly dealt damage. The use of this Jutsu does not require seals, or hands.

    4) Kishougan: The Igniting Eye. An eye which sets whatever it gazes upon to flames. When this eye is selected, the character may make a Chakra Control based attack on anyone within their zone, using any social skill as its skill. The target must either dodge this attack, or defend in such a way that they leave the line of sight, the zone, or obscure themselves. Thus, a Burst 1 Jutsu can defend against this attack, but a Projectile Jutsu cannot. If the defender fails, they sustain 3 instances of the Fire! status effect. This attack can be used again any number of times while the eye is active, as a Partial Action.

    5) Shichougan: The Claiming Eye. An Eye which moves matter. When this eye is selected, the character may assault their opponents with small debris within their range of sight. As a free action, they may make a Determination based attack action up to two zones away, using either Stealth or Deception as its skill. It can be defended against in any way, but if the target fails, they become Staggered and Prone. After the eye is selected, the action may be used again as a Partial action, dealing an additional 20 damage every time to a maximum of 20xRank damage as the air becomes filled with throwable objects still in the user's grasp.

    6) Chokushi-no-Magan: The eye which sees the death of things. When this eye becomes active, the character's next Taijutsu-based attack action will only require 5 successes to activate Critical Hit, and may activate this Follow-up even if blocked. Afterwards, as long as the eye is active, the character only needs 7+ Successes to activate Critical Hit.

    7) Mabyogan: The Evil Cat's Eye. Grants the Lucky trait to the user. If the eye is selected multiple times, they may use the special reroll from Lucky once for every time it is selected.

    8) Hansuugan: The Ruminating Eye. An eye which sees the pasts of people and objects. When this eye is selected, the owner may immediately use the Glean Nindo at no cost. If the eye is replaced with another, whatever profit they may still be getting from it is immediately lost.

    9-10) Joubin's Eye: Eight-Eyes's sole remaining human eye. When this eye is selected, the character may let their Chakra take a break, and may Mold Energy as a free action. It does not grant any passive benefit, except perhaps in cases where a completely plain eye would be necessary.

    World of Five Nations.

    It's not such a big deal for me, but I'm running my second campaign, and already played in two as a player, both to completion. Much as with FFG Star Wars, it turns out that Naruto is a really good setting to play wizard ninja Metal Gear games in. As long as you remove, well, Naruto. And anything else about it you don't like, like tailed beasts and senju/uchiha being the only clans that matter and konoha being the only village that matters. And ancient aliens from outer space.

    What I linked isn't really current version, that's because it's worked on. We've been fixing up the system's nicks for a while now and it's starting to become actually pretty solid. An accidental lovechild of /tg/'s, it might very well be the most anime system ever made. It lives and breathes teleports behind you and nothing personnel. The spoiler posted is one of its core mechanics, where every character gets to create several special snowflake ways in which they can totally break the game's rules, as long as they work for it. Thing is, enemies tend to have their own gimmicks.

    If you're unironically interested in playing, I can drop you a discord link or something.

    Seven Diablo sheets were submitted for consideration for the new slot. Here is the breakdown of the submitted classes:
    2 Assassins
    2 Paladins
    2 Druids
    1 Sorceress
    Now to start balancing my scales...
    He never sleeps. He never dies.

    Battle doesn't need a purpose; the battle is its own purpose. You don't ask why a plague spreads or a field burns. Don't ask why I fight.
