Hide

Time Taken: One round.

Specializations: Camouflage.

Hide represents a character's ability to conceal objects from view. The skill is used when trying to hide weapons on one's person, conceal goods within luggage, plant objects to be left in a room and other similar tasks.

When characters are attempting to spot hidden objects, they must make an opposed search or Perception check. Modifiers include how well the gamemaster thinks the character hid the object. Just rolling high to hide a lightsaber on a character's belt won't do any good in a pat-down search, but dumping one into a ventilator shaft will be much more effective (usually).

Hide can also be used to conceal large objects: camouflaging a grounded starfighter or covering up the cave entrance of a secret base.
