Steal Object
A Monster Ability. Text from By Night They Dance.
Incantation
“I steal that (specific object)” x5
Range
20 feet
Effects
Target of the ability can choose one of the following:
- 1. Consider stolen object removed from game. The only way to replace it is by getting a new one from base.
- 2. Give the stolen object to the thief and let them use it as if it was theirs. If this choice is taken, then the person targeted by the ability may retrieve the item from the thief by convincing them to return it or taking it while the thief is subdued or dead.
Limitations
May not target Natural weapons, garb, shields, armor, or items that represent effects like enchantment strips and spell lists. Must know the person targeted has the object to be stolen through visual sight or prior knowledge of them having it.
Notes
1. For the thief to use an item they must meet all normal requirements including limitations for enchantments. 2. If the thief cannot use an item because of enchantment limitations, they may still carry the item without penalty, but never use. 3. If the target of this ability does not retrieve the stolen object from the thief, then the thief must leave it at Nirvana or the targets base before starting their next life.
