I was just wondering whether you could reverse-pickpocket an item of clothing or armor on to an NPC, I tried it on Moira Brown but she just kept her RobCo jumpsuit on.

Yes. As soon as I get power armor, I arm all the caravans and their guards. Nothing svcks more than to invest in the caravans only to find that they are all dead. :cryvaultboy: It has to have a higher DR than what they are wearing. I usually Dream Crush Moira, then give her Workman Overalls from Point Lookout. She looks good in them. If you give them half-fixed PA, then later have a 100 Repair, the new armor you give them must have a higher DR. Then leave the area so that you must go through a loading screen, like the front gate of Megaton, and come back.

You get bad karma for the supposed pickpocket, but hey that's cool, at least for me.
