Skill Usage

• Arcana: A forgery kit can be used in conjunction with the Arcana skill to determine if a magic item is real or fake.
• Deception: A well-crafted forgery, such as papers proclaiming you to be a noble or a writ that grants you safe passage, can lend credence to a lie.
• History: A forgery kit combined with your knowledge of history improves your ability to create fake historical documents or to tell if an old document is authentic.
• Investigation: When you examine objects, proficiency with a forgery kit is useful for determining how an object was made and whether it is genuine.
• Other Tools: Knowledge of other tools makes your forgeries that much more believable. For example, you could combine proficiency with a forgery kit and proficiency with cartographer’s tools to make a fake map.
• Quick Fake: As part of a short rest, you can produce a forged document no more than one page in length. As part of a long rest, you can produce a document that is up to four pages long. Your Intelligence check using a forgery kit determines the DC for someone else’s Intelligence (Investigation) check to spot the fake.
