Description

This skill lets you steal objects that are sitting in plain sight . . . without being spotted. Roll against skill to shoplift, snatch documents off a desk, etc. If someone is actively watching the item you wish to snatch, you must win a Quick Contest of Filch vs. their Vision roll (or Observation skill) to perform the theft unnoticed. Filch only covers the theft itself. (A GM might require rolls against Stealth to get close enough to make the attempt and Holdout to conceal stolen objects afterward.)
