Sleight of Hand Unchained + Improved Steal


Rules Questions

Dark Archive

I have an Unchained Rogue with the Rogue's Edge (Sleight of Hand) and Improved Steal. If my rogue wants to perform a Steal combat maneuver, how many actions will that take? Does he get a free Sleight of Hand check? Is he required to perform the Sleight of Hand as a move action and then the Steal as a standard action?

Unchained Slight of Hand: When attempting a disarm or steal maneuver, a successful Sleight of Hand check against your target’s CMD grants a +2 circumstance bonus on your combat maneuver check.

Improved Steal: You do not provoke an attack of opportunity when performing a steal combat maneuver. In addition, you receive a +2 bonus on checks made to steal an item from a foe. You also receive a +2 bonus to your Combat Maneuver Defense when an opponent tries to steal an item from you.


When using the 5 ranks skill unlock, the character makes a non-action Slight of Hand check with a DC equal to the target's CMD as part of attempting the steal or disarm combat maneuver. This check still counts as a skill check, and does not do anything, except if sucessful grant a +2 circumstance bonus to the CMB of the maneuver.
