===== Thievery (Agility) =====

Lockpicking, safecracking, picking pockets,
sleight of hand, setting and disabling
traps and similar acts of misdirection,
sabotage, subterfuge, and manipulation are
called Thievery.

If used to pick a lock, crack a safe, disable a
trap, or perform a simple unopposed action,
success opens or disables the device, and a
raise does it in less time, without tripping
alarms, or whatever else the GM feels is
appropriate.

Sleight of hand, hiding or planting an item,
or picking a pocket require a simple success.
If foes are actively watching the character,
Thievery is opposed by Notice.

The Game Master should assign penalties
for particularly difficult circumstances.
Picking a heavy padlock might have a -4
penalty, while hiding a revolver in bulky
winter clothing might grant a +1 bonus.
Failure typically means the character is
spotted or it takes too much time (after which
the character can try again). A Critical Failure
typically sets off the trap, alerts the victim, or
jams the device so that it must be opened or
interacted with in a different way.

**Limited**: Using Thievery on an electronic
device, such as a keypad, is limited by the
thief’s Electronics skill. Use the lowest of the
two skills.
