theree's a weapon that you can get a little into act 2 called "twist of fortune". This weapon has a special class action callled blood money, which does normal weapon damage + 4 piercing damage for every 300 gold the target has in their pockets. He had his PC reverse pick pocket Raphael and dropped 87k gold into his pockets. Consequently when Astarion hit him with blood money... That happened. (87k/300) * 4 = 1160 extra damage on that attack, instantly nuking Raphael. (orginal commetn by @common_undead)

I'm reminded of this old JRPG (whose name I've forgotten) I used to play. One of the party members you could recruit had a special spell that literally cost you 500g to cast each time. The benefit was that this spell ignored all resistances and protections of the target, so it always did maximum damage. Assuming you had plentiful gold, the best strategy for this character was just to cast the money spell over and over and over. I didn't realize it at the time, but years later I was thinking back on this and went "Holy shit, that was an ACTUAL pay to win spell!" XD

Besides, I highly doubt they will patch this out. In their previous game, there's a spell that detonates special arrows and bombs within enemy's pockets so it became legit strat to lock a Boss in conversation, reverse pickpocket tons of special arrows / grenades gathering dust in your inventory then use the spell (I forgot if it was named Hijack or Sabotage). It's mostly a useless spell and this is the only case where it's "useful".
