Escaping is a skill that some revere as an art. Famous entertainers hailing from all over the world have presented routines of complicated escape. Knowledge of escaping comes from intense practice and occasionally a trick up the sleeve (i.e. lock picks, a file, or a blow torch). Characters with such items and are in the correct situation can get a +3 circumstantial modifier to the check. Characters can also use Escape to slip out of another character’s Hold.
Difficulty
