Legerdemain/Sleight of Hand

Sleight of Hand.

Accomplished Activity: Juggling, Pick Pocket, Game Trick (dice, cards, etc.), Palm Object

Sleight of hand can be used to hide what you are doing – such as picking pockets, palming an object (card tricks, etc.). It does not take this still to effectively hide something, but if you wish to hide an object on someone it grants knowledge of the best places that will be missed by a pat-down – places where clothing and culture may allow a refuge of deceit.

Stealth

Posted on January 10, 2025 in D20 iCore Skill

Stealth

  • Actively moving while silencing and camouflaging = Stalking; A character cannot use both Camouflage and Silence aspects of stalking unless they move at half their normal movement rate.
  • Passively waiting while stationary with cover and obscurement = Camouflage
    • If you are performing this for others (you can observe its effects), you get Advantage.
    • Obscuring small sites and minor features can be done using Stealth or Survival, Advantage at the highest common level of either if both.

Frame of Reference: All Skills are bound by the character's Setting (physics), and the details that their culture/society's Science (gathered by Technology), direct experience, and/or collective Records are capable of revealing. A character may not be able to apply their full measure on a different world, with different species and tools. With a common frame of reference, multiple specific Lores can stack.

Insight (sense motive, etc.)

Posted on December 20, 2024 in D20 iCore Skill

With Insight you can sense the motivations and intent of others and assess the truthfulness in relation to what they are displaying or claiming in social situations. Using subtle clues – variations in speech, body language, reading between the lines, etc. – you get a deeper sense of their motives, moods and attitudes. If successful, it will reveal that some part of what is being revealed is not 100% truthful or accurate. It will NOT reveal the actual truth. It can also be used to assess varying degrees of competency in a target, assuming the character using the skill has enough knowledge themselves to look for the signs of what they are trying to assess. This can come from the way a target moves, carries themselves, acts, assess situations, talks about and/or other more subtle gestures and clues they give off.


  • Major Result: Indicates what part of a reveal is lacking in complete truth, and perhaps if it is through leaving something out or actively mislead.
  • Extraordinary Result: Reveals same as Major Result and the exact point and nature of deception.

Frame of Reference: All Skills are bound by the character's Setting (physics), and the details that their culture/society's Science (gathered by Technology), direct experience, and/or collective Records are capable of revealing. A character may not be able to apply their full measure on a different world, with different species and tools. With a common frame of reference, multiple specific Lores can stack.

Appraising

Posted on December 9, 2024 in D20 iCore Skill

With Appraising, the character is conversant with the production, value, cultural knowledge, and use of goods. This is only academic, approximate knowledge – to a degree reflected by the skill level they possess related to the item they are appraising. The character has an understanding of the general value and availability of goods, and can test them to assess their item properties. Note that having skill related to the item may alone may be enough to assess physical properties exclusive of value. Assessing mystic items requires an applicable phenomenology skill: Occult, etc. This could be used (instead of Perception) in some circumstances to detect traps by noticing anomalies on normal features and items.

Accomplished Activity: – Lore Subjects, Object Types, Object Period (historical)
