What is a good approach to adding pickpocketing, lockpicking and possibly sneaking into a Wizard's repertoire? After going through the murder mystery plotline and constantly being thwarted by doors and chests that required keys or a higher lockpicking skill, I need to get my Wizard handy in the arts of a Scoundrel, but I don't know if it is wise, or if it's as simple as tossing a couple points into those abilities.

Should I ditch Madora or Jahar for a Scoundrel companion? Should I make a Scoundrel/Wizard combination? How high would my lockpicking have to be to break into [spoiler]Evelyn's[/spoiler] house, and how high would my pickpocketing have to be to steal from her pockets?

Thanks in advance!
