[QUOTE="Tharkon, post: 5660389, member: 6674292"] Acting innocuous is Bluff, opposed by Sense Motive, the target gets a penalty or bonus depending on any reason of suspecting you, or someone like you. So if you are the only Halfling in the crowd and the target knows theres a Halfling rogue in town causing trouble, he'd get +5 on his check. Bluffing is part of other actions. Hiding the weapon is Sleight of Hand, opposed by Spot or Search, both drawing and hiding the weapon is a standard action, hiding it as a free action can be done at a -20 penalty. Baggy clothing and daggers grant a +2 bonus, shurikens a +4 bonus. Pretending to look like someone (or something) else is Disguise, opposed by Spot check (assume they are taking 10 unless you draw suspicion), disguises take 1d3x10 minutes. Trying not to be seen at all is Hide, also opposed by Spot, hiding is a move action and requires cover or concealment unless you can Hide in Plain Sight. A character is flat-footed if he is unaware of the impending danger, either cause he is distracted or cause he wasn't ready for combat (which is anytime before his first turn in combat, be it during a surprise round or by rolling low on initiative). So casually walking by, stabbing with a dagger and then hiding the dagger would probably be Bluff followed by Sleight of Hand and the target would be flat-footed. Not sure if Quick Draw will help, I feel like it should. The bluff might not even be needed if there is no reason anyone would suspect you. [/QUOTE]
