Steal

Steal is one of the Special Attacks within the Combat of For The King.

Description
A successful Steal attack will do a small amount of damage and also steal coins or a Consumable from a character. Items from the quickbar can be stolen, but any item not appearing on the quickbar is safe, such as extra armor and weapons. If there are no consumables to be stolen and the thief tries to steal one, a message saying "No Item to Steal" will appear. The amount of coins taken is 75% of how many total coins that character was carrying. If a Creature that successfully Steals is killed before it can escape, then the stolen coins or item will be recovered at the end of combat as part of the loot. There are a few exceptions to this, such as if Steal is randomly generated by Chaos from the Chaos Beast or a hex space blighted by Chaos.

Since no marker appears to indicate that a creature has stolen something, a player must keep track of which enemies have stolen and must prioritize defeating them first, lest they Flee with the items, which typically occurs on their next turn.

Creatures with ability
Crows, Thieves, Cutpurses and Buccaneers are all examples of creatures that use the Steal ability.
