pickpocketing - is there a penalty on your charisma if you succeed
Maybe my eyes are getting bad, but I could swear that after my bard succeeded in pickpocketing one of the old fogies in kuldahar, he didn't seem to be able to get good prices when transacting honestly with the other shopkeepers. Is there a charisma penalty for successful pickpocketing?
No penalty for successful pickpockets
No, there is no penalty.
Pickpocketing in IWD is an all-or-nothing proposition. If you are successful, nothing happens other than your acquisition of someone else's property. If you fail, everyone in town attacks you.
Do you use the spell Friends (lvl 1 mage spell, adds 5 points to Cha)? If you've used it before while buying, that 5 point difference could well account for the higher prices you see now. If you have used a paladin to speak to shopkeepers, it also may have a higher Cha than your bard.

When your back is against the wall... the other guy is in a whole lotta trouble.
