This is a useful skill that allows characters to slip small objects into their pockets, up their sleeves, or simply into their palms. The largest object that can be palmed would be about the size of a clenched fist. Although any character may attempt to pilfer something in this way, characters with this skill have a +15% modifier to all Palm Object tests.
The object to be palmed must be handled. For example, shuffling a deck of cards, counting out money, or examining vegetables at a market stall would allow a character to attempt to palm one object (be it a single card, coin, or carrot). The gamesmaster can test for success using the character's Dex, applying any modifiers that are appropriate.
A successful test means that the object is successfully palmed. A failed test indicates that the palming was a failure (because the character was too closely watched, slipped, etc.), but went unnoticed. Failure by 40% or more indicates that the palm has gone badly wrong and the character has been caught red-handed.
