Skill description
Backstab: When you attack someone from behind you'll get a chance to do extra damage.
Effect: When you attack someone, your target may gets a certain potion effect (like poison or blindness).
Grappling Hook: When you throw a Arrow by rightclick, you can pull you to it with a configurable item (default: String). If there is no block where you could stand on, it`ll spawn a glass block for a given amount of time.
Pickpocket: When you are behind another player, you can right click him, which opens his inventory. Now you can try to steal a certain worth of items by left clicking the items in his inventory.
AirAssassination: When you attack a while falling down you'll deal more damage, depending on the distance you already fall.
LockPick: When you rightclick with a special item on a protected block, you have no right's for, you have a chance to use it anyways. E.g. protected doors or chests will open. Also, when a wooden door/fence gate/trap door/lever gets picked, it can't be opened for a defined amount of time. (Except by picking it again)

Source
This plugin is open Source. It's code can be found on GitHub
This is great. so far i have most of the features working on my 1.6.4 tekkit server :D thanks for the plugin
you should add a command module on success. (so a command would be run through the console %player% being the players name) the reason for this is your text is white, and cannot be other colours, this was i would be able to do a tellraw command. an alternative would be to enable other colours.
@THEfunnplayer111231
Is there anything that doesn't work with 1.8 or higher? Usually the Bukkit API is very compatible across versions, so it's very much likely that the plugin doesn't need any adjustments.
But I just noticed that I had changed quite a few things for a possible 0.7 version I never released – I should look into releasing them...
can you update it 2 1.8 pls?
It's working nice and smooth, but... I'm trying to make the slowness effect work. So when I hit someone with a stone axe they'll get slowness, but it seems slowness doesn't work? Wither, poison, weakness and all of them work but slowness no?
@yataaki
Sorry, interact canceling detection is need for the skill to work, as about all protection plugins work with it.
@SydMontague
Nevermind I don't use this power anymore, but I have another annoying issue. Nocheatplus block interraction when we can't see the block so cheaters can't open chests through walls with freecam but with lockpicking we still can use it on chests through walls with freecam, please fix it
@yataaki
Do you actually hit the target before you land? Also, have you set a message? Otherwise it's kind of hard to know if it worked or not.
@SydMontague
Yeah, I can't figure out why but the air assasination don't work..
@yataaki
Is there anything missing or broken, that would require an update?
I actually have updated the plugin a lot since the last release, but I still have to document the changes properly...
Any update planned?
@ShadowedDreamer
Just remove the skill from the config completly and it won't be loaded. Not giving them the permission will also work, but I recommend the first solution.
Is there a way to toggle / set in config on and off for certain parts of this? Like i do not want my players to be able to lockpick
@micruz1
Check out http://dev.bukkit.org/bukkit-plugins/skilllevels/. It allows you to create a level system, that levels by pickpocketing while modifying the pickpocket values of this plugin. (And it can be used with every other skill in this plugin as well. ;))
Please add permissions for different pickpocketing settings per player, so it is possible to choose which players can steal more than others. Such as, a player who has picked a pickpocketed very little, will have very little chance and maxValue while players who have pickpocketed more will have more chance and more maxValue.
@Zalakoth
Not sure about Pickpocket, but Backstab (and Effect+AirAssassin) should work with Citizens.
If not, it means Citizens fails to emulate their NPCs as Entities to the BukkitAPI.
Pickpocket may needs some adjustments to work properly with non-player Entities - I'll look into it.
@SydMontague You should add Citizens2 support.
i.e. Allow to pickpocket and Backstab them...
@Nom9000
I had to lookup the Wiki for spiders, too. ;)
The values.yml itself should work, even if it tells you that it couldn't load a material. It will just skip the entry and go on adding the others. (I should add a more detailed output though)
Ahhh, I wasn't aware that spiders were. I knew Skeletons and Zombies were, though. So I'm assuming the poison is working, then. I still need to test the lockpicking and pickpocketing (though I doubt that will work as I still can't get the values.yml to work.)
@Nom9000
On what entities have you tried the poisoning? Because undead (Zombie, Zombiepigman, Skeleton and spiders) are immune to poison in vanilla MC.
