The act of seizing an object in motion defines
the Catching skill. Most often, this skill is used

made.
Check: Roll 3d10 and apply the modifier

the TH for each circumstance. Modifiers
may include the size of the object, the speed at which
it travels, whether or not the object is dangerous
(such as a dagger), and whether or not the character
may use both hands. Examples follow:
