An ability used to quickly and stealthily snatch possessions off of others.
Base
Technique Type: Specialty Performance: Standard Action Delivery: Contact Reach: +5ft Effect Type: Instant
For this Technique to work, the user must have an idea of what it is that they’re attempting to swipe off of their target. The more information they have on the item, the more accurate the Technique is.
The moment they perform the Technique, the GM asks for the mental image the character has of the target item (color, size, shape, texture, etc). They then assign a percentile to the accuracy of the description, and roll the appropriate die to see if it is successful (typically a d10). A completely accurate description guarantees success.
Whether the Technique is successful or not is a separate matter from whether the targeted individual becomes aware of what’s happened or not. To determine so, the user rolls as if having performed an Energy Imbued Unarmed Attack (which represents the Technique’s execution). If it is lower than the target's Sense, they have become aware of what transpired. If it is higher, they remain unaware.
