Forging Documents: A Suggestion
Posted: Tue Nov 06, 2018 4:56 pm
Could it be possible to mechanically forge documents?
For instance, make a document and instead of signing it with: "citizen" (which everyone with half a brain OOC will just metagame as someone who isn't a citizen), but instead with some other PC's name? It could take a skill check to do, but bards and rogues in PnP would be able to forge documents. I'd think it would make for some really interesting RP and a fine addition to the disguise system. Someone with high bluff / perform (I really don't know what skill this would use) could make a forged document under a pseudonym that is written in text akin to how disguise names work. Then it could be revealed with spot or lore upon specifically examining that note on a message board.
At the current system. Anyone who writes something as anything other than their own signature pretty much gets disregarded as false information. . . (at least in my experience with the server)
