It isn't classic. You should be able to steal from non-animal/elemental and maybe non-undead.

Basically anything Allakhazam would have listed as a "monster" (not having those flags) or a humanoid. I lost that fight because I was told by Nilbog there's no such thing as a monster flag, but it was supposed to be anything within level limits that lacked those specific flags.

As it stands now.. It's like humanoids and hill giants, the latter was as far as what we managed to get changed to PPable, but there's still a wide range of targets you should be able to snag gems from. I contend that stealing from Seb bugs was legit in classic but people were smart enough to not talk about it.
