Challenge
DC
Area
Computer-controlled cameras monitor the area, reporting intruders to nearby guards.
Trap. Cameras can be spotted with a DC 13 Engineering, passive Perception, or Search check.
Possible Solutions
- Dealing with the cameras is a group check. Engineering and hacking tool checks allow voidrunners to loop the video on the cameras so that no anomalies are detected, Stealth and Search checks allow creatures to hide in the cameras’ blind spots, Sleight of Hand reposition the cameras to allow passage, and Deception and disguise kit checks allow users to masquerade as creatures that are permitted in the area.
Loud noises, and attacks against the cameras, count as an automatic failure.
Potential Outcomes
Critical Failure. A klaxon sounds. All hostile creatures in the area are alerted.
Failure. The alert level is raised. The camera’s computer requests a nearby guard patrol to investigate the area.
Success. The crew passes the cameras unnoticed.
Critical Success. The crew passes the cameras unnoticed and can disable them if they wish.
