Pickpocket?

[Supplement Four]

One of my players, running a thief who as 1 silver piece to his name, just asked me about pickpocketing in this game. I told him I'd look it up before the campaign starts...

No pickpocketing in the Hyborean Age? That seems strange. It seems that one would always keep his hand on his coin purse when travelling through the maul in Arenjun.

How do we go about this in this game? Use the Sleight of Hand skill?

That's exactly what you do. Lifting an object off a person is a DC 20 Sleight of Hand check opposed by the victim's Spot. If you succeed in the Sleight of Hand check you get the item. If your victim Spots you, he knows you took it, but you still get the item if you succeeded on the check. Circumstance modifiers apply.
