Thievery

Thievery covers picking locks, disabling traps, picking pockets, and other tasks requiring manual dexterity and criminal skill.

Untrained actions:

• Palm an Object: Quickly and quietly take a small, unattended object without being noticed. Opposed by Perception.
• Steal: Take an object from a person without them noticing. Opposed by Perception. The object must be carried, worn, or held but not firmly secured.

Trained actions:

• Disable a Device: Use thieves' tools to disable a trap or other mechanical device. Requires a Thievery kit (thieves' tools). Critical failure on a trap triggers it.
• Pick a Lock: Use thieves' tools to open a lock without its key. Each check represents 10 seconds of work. Improved or greater tools grant bonuses.

Thieves' Tools: Required for trained actions. Basic tools allow standard attempts; masterwork tools grant a +2 item bonus.

Rogue Synergy: Rogues often train Thievery to Master or Legendary rank and can eventually Disable a Device and Pick a Lock quickly enough to do so mid-combat.
