FALLEN IS GOTHAM: Fallen Sons

 

SLEIGHT.OF.HAND

 

Dexterity • Manipulation

You can perform dexterous feats of legerdemain such as palming small objects, picking pockets, slipping out of re straints, and so forth. Stage magicians use Sleight of Hand legitimately as a performance skill, but it is most commonly known for its criminal applications.

 

CONCEALING

You can use Sleight of Hand to conceal a small item on your person, making your check result the DC of an Inves- tigation or Perception check to find it. 

 

 

CONTORTING

Make a DC 30 Sleight of Hand check to fit through a tight space wide enough for your head but too narrow for the width of your shoulders, or to reach through an opening wide enough for your hand, but too narrow for your arm.

 

 

ESCAPING

Make a Sleight of Hand check to slip out of various restraints. This takes at least a minute per check. Escaping from a grab is an Acrobatics or Athletics check.    

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

LEGERDEMAIN

Minor feats of Sleight of Hand, such as making a coin or playing card “vanish,” have a DC of 10 unless an observer is focused on noticing what you are doing. When you perform this skill under observation, your check is opposed by the observer’s Perception check to see if they notice the trick. 

 

 

 

STEALING

To covertly take something from another person make a Sleight of Hand check (DC 20). Your target makes a Percep- tion check and notices the attempt if his check result beats yours, whether you succeed in taking the object or not.

You can also make a Sleight of Hand check to plant a small object on someone, slip something into their pocket, drop something into their drink, place a tiny radio tracer on them, and so forth. To plant the object, you must get a check result of 20 or higher, regardless of the opponent’s check result. The opponent notices the attempt if his check result beats yours, whether you succeed in planting the item or not.
