Steal Untrained
1 Action
You try to take a small object from another creature without being noticed. Typically, you can Steal only an object of negligible Bulk; you must have a free hand, and you automatically fail if the creature who has the object is in combat or on guard.
Attempt a Thievery check to determine if you successfully Steal the object. The DC is usually the creature's Perception DC. It's easiest to steal an object that is worn but not closely guarded (like a purse or satchel carried loosely, or an object within such a container). The GM might increase the DC if the object is protected or its nature makes it harder to steal (such as a very small item in a large pack or a sheet of paper mixed in with other documents). For instance, the DC is typically 5 higher if the object is in a pocket, held in a creature's hand, or similarly protected.
You should also compare your Thievery check result against the Perception DCs of observers other than the person wearing the object. The GM might impose a circumstance penalty to the DCs of observers who are distracted.
Success You steal the item without the bearer noticing, or an observer doesn't see you take or attempt to take the item.
Failure The item's bearer notices your attempt before you can take the object, or an observer sees you take or attempt to take the item. The GM determines the response of any creature that notices your theft.
