This skill reflects your proficiency in manual dexterity and control. This skill allows you to pick pockets without being seen, perform sleight of hand tricks, or do other tasks that require a steady hand and coordination.
You attempt to palm a small, unattended object without being noticed (typically an object of negligible Bulk). Spend 1 action to roll a single Larceny check and compare it to the Awareness Defence of all creatures who are currently observing you. You take the object regardless of whether you successfully conceal the theft. You can typically only Palm Objects of negligible Bulk, though the GM might determine otherwise depending on the situation.
Success: The creature does not notice you palming the object.Failure: The creature notices you palming the object. The GM determines their response.You try to take an object of negligible Bulk directly from another creature without being noticed. You automatically fail if the target is in combat or on high alert. Spend 1 action to roll a Larceny check against the target's Awareness Defense. (If the object is inside a pocket or similarly protected, you take a -5 Circumstance Penalty to your check). The GM might increase the DC of your check if the object's nature makes it harder to steal (such as a USB stick buried in the bottom of a backpack or a specific case file in a pile of other documents).
You must also beat the Awareness Defence of any other bystanders observing you. The GM may reduce these observers' Awareness Defences if they’re distracted.
