Alternatively, engrossing a target in a game by manipulating the components with dexterous movements is a great distraction for a pickpocketing attempt. # Sample Tasks | Activity | DC | | ------------------------------------------- | --- | | Discern whether someone is cheating | 10 | | Gain insight into an opponent's personality | 15 | | Win the game | 20 | # Credit Information taken from the _Player's Handbook (2024)_ and _Xanathar's Guide to Everything (2017)_.
