If your picking pockets, the NPCs at least ought to have pockets to pick from, either that or be marsupials; flying monkeys don't meet these immersive requirements. The ability isn't called "strip-search".

What would have made the class ability more MMO-friendly is if there was a second, otherwise inaccessible loot table that rogues could have tried to steal from. A certain amount of coin tucked away. A prized possession expertly concealed. Only rogues would have the skills to find such things, even on corpses. If successful, rogues would have had the option to share the wealth or hold onto every last copper, left ear, etc. Without that distinction, the ability is just...

Apes are “humanoids” in that they're animals who are similar to humans in structure and function.

Also, an advanced form of the ability would have added more to the RPG side of things, with pick pocket opening a bag with items inside. The more valuable the item, the greater the risk of being caught in the act and pulling aggro.

Holgresh aren't wearing clothes and the beads aren't shown to be hanging from their necks, where any rogue could snatch them off cleanly. So unless custom content allows rogues to skill up in proctology, they're shit out of luck.

A naked elf is still a humanoid and can be stolen from. A harry naked elf could easily conceal a small necklace without entering the exit.
