====== SLEIGHT OF HAND ======

DEX

You can hide small objects, pick pockets, and accomplish other
feats of manual dexterity without being noticed.

===== Entertain =====

You can use Sleight of Hand to entertain an audience, as if
you were using the earn a living task of the Profession skill.

===== Hide Object =====

As a standard action, you can use Sleight of Hand to hide
a small object (including a small arm or a one-handed
melee weapon with light bulk) on your body. The check is
opposed by the Perception check of anyone observing you
or searching your body. In the latter case, the searcher gains
a +4 bonus to the check. Especially small objects or those
created to be easy to hide can grant up to a +4 circumstance
bonus to your Sleight of Hand check to hide an object on
your person, as can compartments in clothing or armor
made to facilitate such hiding. Retrieving a weapon or object
hidden on your person is a standard action.

===== Palm Object =====

As a standard action, you can use Sleight of Hand to
palm a small object no larger than a small communicator
or memory stick. The check is opposed by the Perception
checks of anyone nearby who could notice the attempt. If
you successfully use the Bluff skill to create a diversion,
you gain a +10 bonus to this check .

If you fail, you still palm the object, but not without being
noticed by those whose Perception check results exceed
your Sleight of Hand result. You can’t take 20 on a Sleight of
Hand check to palm an object.

===== Pick Pocket =====

As a standard action, you can use Sleight of Hand to steal an
object from another creature. The DC of this check is usually
20, but it can be modified by any precautions the object’s
wearer has taken, as determined by the GM. Whether you
succeed or fail, the object’s wearer can attempt an opposed
Perception check against your Sleight of Hand result to notice
the attempt. You cannot usually attempt this task during
combat, and you can’t take 20 on a Sleight of Hand check to
pick pockets.
