Deft Palm Rogue Talent Question


Rules Questions

Grand Lodge

Hi,

I searched through several topics, but cannot find a definite answer of this question:

Does Deft Palm let you to conceal your weapon without puting it somewhere on your person or does it let you to conceal it as usual except even under close observation?

I saw some people say that it works as the former case, while the others say as the latter case.. You know, there is a big different between the two cases as one of them doesn't force you to spend an action to withdraw your weapon afterwards.


You can already make a sleight of hand check to conceal a weapon while under close observation. Even someone who frisks you only gets a +4 bonus on their opposed perception check. So the latter interpretation is clearly wrong; under that theory, this rogue talent literally does nothing.

So yes, this rogue talent lets you have the weapon equipped and still conceal it.

Aye, ofcourse you can attempt a sleight of hand check anytime, even under close observation. Deft Palm just giving you an additional plus four.

But, is there any reference regarding "lets you have the weapon equipped and still conceal it." Because, as I said, definiton is not very clear on this point.

I'm sorry, but what does it say here? Deft Palm does exactly this, don't see how you can interpret it any other way.
