Prerequisites: Martial Rank 2
Disciplines: Scoundrel
Standard Action [REC Weapon Speed]

Effect: Striking directly in your opponent's field of vision, you use your attack as a diversion to lift something off your opponent while they are unable to see in front of them. Make an attack:
Range: Melee
Target: One creature
Attack: Melee Weapon vs. AC
Hit: Weapon[1 WD] and you may make a Sleight of Hand or Thievery check [DC 20] to steal a small item from their person (stored readily and not held in hand). If your skill check exceeds the target's Awareness, they are not aware that you took the item.
Master Augment, Magical Mugging
[Martial Rank 5, Magic Item]
Requirement: You must be wearing Magic Gloves.
Effect: Instead of stealing an object, you may steal an ongoing magical effect that is currently affecting the target and transfer it to yourself. You must be aware of the specific effect. The DC to steal the effect is based on the tier of the ability. DC 25 for Basic, DC 30 for Advanced, DC 40 for Legendary, and DC 50 for Ultimate. The effect lasts for the duration of the original effect or 3 rounds, whichever is shorter. If you are not a valid target for the magical effect, the effect cannot be stolen.
