Concealing Coincidences
Basic Action
You can move and Sneak at the same time as the circumstances around you keep changing. This can be as simple as moving from place to place, but if you want to stay put, you have to be in a spot where some fortunate occurrence can save you; a falling curtain, a distracting explosion, a scream of warning, or something similar to act as a distraction for you. The GM has to accept that a distraction is possible and integrate it into the action. The longer you use this power, the more extreme the distractions become. If maintained in the same spot for several minutes and a continuous distraction is not available, this can result in a Setback for you or some bystander.
