8 Success means the character accomplishes the task, either planting or stealing an item. Any creature present can make a perception check DC equals the character’s check result.
Special: As an attack action a character can choose to forego damage to make a Sleight of Hand check and disarm an opponent. The character makes an attack roll, if the attack is successful in lieu of damage the character makes a Sleight of Hand check, the opponent must make a Strength saving throw DC equal to the character’s check result or drop whatever they are holding. If the character uses a ranged weapon to disarm an opponent, the character’s Sleight of Hand check is at disadvantage and the opponent’s Strength saving throw is at advantage.
