How to use VOS items
<Passage>
Out of Sight, Out of mind
It is possible to hide small weapons, ammunition and even some types of armor on a character. The success rate and the amount of items that can be hidden is influenced by the skill Conceal but the actual minimal amount of skill to hide an item is not listed, the more hidden items on a character there are, the more difficult it becomes to hide additional ones. Hidden items are given the (Con) tag when looking in the inventory. To hide an item use the +set/conceal command, if it is successful the item will gain the (Con) tag, if it is unsuccessful it will be stated so and the player will have to wait 120 seconds before they can try to conceal an item again, but they may try to conceal any item they have at that time. Other characters looking at a character with concealed items will not the item at all.
Using the example character, Alos, from before.. Alos tries to hide his 'Survival Knife', to do this he types:
+set/conceal 2
If he succeeds he receives the following message:
VOS: Alos hides his Survival Knife.
When looking into his inventory he will see:
.--[Weapon]--------- | - Survival Knife (2) (Con) | - Glock 9x19mm (3)
Anyone else looking at Alos will only see:
.--[Weapon]--------- | - Glock 9x19mm (3)
A character can check if someone had hidden items by frisking them, how well a character can frisk and find hidden items is influenced by the skill Spot.
