Hold Out
Time Required: 2 seconds
Skill: Sleight of Hand
You attempt to hide an object from discovery on your person. Roll Sleight of Hand, and record the total result. You suffer slight to the roll if the item is a weapon and isn't Light.
Another person who wishes to find the item rolls Perception against the Sleight of Hand result recorded when the item was hidden. The character rolling Perception is considered the acting character, and therefore ties go to the Perception check.
If the object is clearly too large to Hold Out, your Director will let you know.
“They're searching people for weapons.” Aria rolls Sleight of Hand to conceal her dagger, and gets a total of 18—quite a good roll, and her dagger is now concealed on her person.
“Can you do the same with my helbarde?” asks Sir Roland. Aria stares at him in disbelief.
