I want to change those aspects of the skill. I would like him to only be able to steal from the same enemy one time. After that, the enemy has nothing more to steal. I would also like to set it up so that a random number of enemies have nothing to steal in the first place. Here's a screenshot of the code I copied from the guide which will show you the skill as is.

Edit: I also lowered the variable which was set at 80% to 65% and lowered the gold multiplier to * 3 instead of * 15. Both of those seemed overpowered to me as well.
