[@VKAllen] It is not necessary for you to alter the post in question, you succeeded. You can assume so as not to have to wait on me further that the soldier does not attack but is perhaps a bit grumpy. The only item you would be able to take from him would be coins as he doesn't have anything else in his pockets.

This is actually an interesting DM's dilemma, if you Succeeded in SoH roll, it usually means your target failed to Notice your action.
However, since the aim was to SHOW OFF some skills, would you not need your Target to Notice the attempt which was successful?
I mean if it was a personal item, something that the target knew was theirs instantly, it would be a very obvious display of skill...
But coins? It could very well be that the man is using one of his own coins and randomly giving it to the warrior <_>
