Pickpocket (U) (DEX)

This skill can’t be used untrained.

This specialty skill allows a hero to remove objects from a person (or plant something) without that person noticing. The base situation die is determined by the target’s Will resistance modifier.

Results

• Failure/Critical Failure: The attempt fails and the pickpocketer is noticed.
• Ordinary: The attempt succeeds.
• Good/Amazing: The attempt succeeds and may offset penalties for repeated attempts against the same target.

Rank Benefits

• Rank 3, 6, 9, 12 [It Takes One to Know One]: The character’s Will resistance modifier (only for spotting a pickpocket attempt) improves by +1 penalty to the foe’s attempt at rank 3, +2 steps at rank 6, +3 steps at rank 9, and +4 steps at rank 12.
