 ## Stealable Objects
 
-Objects can be stealable via the `steal` command. These use the same drop table system as mobs and searches.
+Objects can be stealable via the `steal` command. These use drop entries — either
+item IDs or drop table references — resolved by weighted pick. The `steal` command
+supports auto-selection when only one target is available, or `steal <name>` for
+explicit targeting, including `steal <n>.<name>` to disambiguate identical defs.
