What exactly does this do?
The safe cracking skill is only useful for treasure hunts, so I have read. Since my character is not amongst the most charming, it seems logical not to get the hypnosis skill. Between pocket picking and hypnosis, which one is better, anyhow? What do either of these skills do specifically. I have not found the answers to these questions posted, although I did not peruse through all of the newbie questions; as it seems that there maybe no end to them.

the "special skills" at the factions are not that special. I would suggest to concentrate on other skills first.
Pick pocket will only help if u accuse (corectly) your client. Instead of earning nothing you will get money for the case. But since your client is not always the guilty one, it seems to me that you better buy this skill when u have all others and need to spend skill points on something.

Indeed, it sounds like all the factions skills are special in the sense that they are relatively useless. So, then you choose the faction according to what equipment you want to buy. Well, I am already in LCn so maybe I will stay. Who needs special skills. Thanks to all who have helpfully responded.

it seems to me that hypnosis could be useful in getting the suspects faster, thus saving u from asking more questions. The fewer questions u ask early to find out the suspects, the more questions you will have available later (for witness testimony) before they clam up.

Yeah, lock picking does the same thing. Definately no need to get both.
