User blog:Retardedmoose/Pickpocketing

My player has become quite skilled with sneaking and pickpocketing; both are at level 100. I also have the pickpocket perks to be able to take equipped weapons and armor. Even so, when I attempt to pickpocket the heavy steel armor off of my housecarls (added weight), I, while in my usual dragonscale armor, have only a 9% chance. Realizing this, I enchanted a ring to give me 36% improvement in pickpocketing success. When I have the ring equipped, however, I have a 0% chance to pickpocket the armor. Upon removing the ring, the chance goes back up to 9%. This doesn't really make sense to me. Anyone else experience the same?
