Pick Pocket
Skill Ability
Standard Action [REC 4]
Range: Melee Reach
Target: One creature
Effect: You attempt to lift (or plant) a small item from the target's person, such as a money pouch, piece of jewelry, or small weapon. Make a Sleight of Hand or Thievery Application check [DC 30] to remove the item. If your skill check exceeds the target's Awareness, the target is unaware that you have taken the item.

Minor Illusion
Skill Ability
Focus Action [Varies]
Effect: You use your Sleight of Hand to shift a target's attention to create minor illusions, such as disappearing and reappearing items, the shifting objects in a shell game, or other minor magic tricks. When you complete your illusion, make a Sleight of Hand (Application) check versus each opponent's Awareness to determine if your illusions succeeds. If a target is particularly suspicious, or is trying to determine how the illusion is performed, they may attempt a Spot check to notice your Sleight of Hand.
