Sleight of hands feat modifiers

Silver Crusade

Ok so here is the question with unarmed rogue talents

Combat Swipe (Pathfinder Unchained pg. 21 (Amazon)): A rogue with this talent gains Improved Steal as a bonus feat. At 6th level, she is treated as if she met all the prerequisites for Greater Steal (although she must take the feat as normal).

that feat gives you +2 to steal attempts and no attack of opportunity and at 6th qualify for greater steal

greater steal gives you an additional +2 to steal attempts and +2 to not be stolen from ok good

what I'm wondering is how that applies out of combat does the rogue with both get a pickpocket bonus of +4 and a +2 to detect when someone is trying to pick his pockets

because raw it kinda seems like no but otherwise seems a horrible waste of feats / rogue talents to me


You get no bonus to your Sleight of Hand check to pocket items discreetly, nor do you gain a bonus to your opposed Perception check to notice people using Sleight of Hand, unless the effect states so.

Though with Greater Steal, you can certainly use it on people in the middle of town, and while it may be obvious to other observers what you're doing, your victim won't notice right away.
