Noob question. If I get mugged and have for example $1M on hand, what is the range that the mugger can expect? And, is there a cooling off after the event? When I am afk and get hit several times there is a large amount that gets taken and then progressively smaller amounts. Not sure if that is just because the amount I have is less or what.

Copied from wiki:
The base percentage you are able to steal from a player is 5%. This value is then modified with a multi-dice-roll RNG up to 10%, however lower percentages closer to 5% are favoured and values close to 10% would be extremely rare.
This percentage can be increased further using merits to upgrade Masterful Looting. Masterful Looting modifies the base percentage itself by up to 50%, meaning your mug percentage would now fall between 7.5 - 15%.
There's also plunder, which increases amount of money mugged by 20% - 49%, so the maximum percentage mugged can be as big as 22.5%.
To answer your question, the range would be 50k to 225k, and yes, there is a cooldown period.
Additionally, I advise you to use a million dollars to buy a stock ticker and store your money there. Muggers can't mug stock money.
Thanks for the reference! I always dump my money in the stock market so I rarely lose much. Mainly it happens when I travel and have to bring funds and am afk if I didn't set a timer or whatever.
