When's the last time you had a PC pick up the Forgery skill?

[Krug]

Just wondering...

 

[Crothian]

In the current game we have one PC, a rogue, with maxed ranks in the forgery skill.

 

[Ricochet]

I play a Rogue in the current campaign we run, and I have 4 ranks in Forgery, and have used it a number of times.

 

[Kranton Zo`erth]

Well, I am thinking that the forgery skill comes in more handy when gaming groups use writs and papers...or intrigue in general.....finding forgery looking very useful in eberron.....

 

[beeber]

only in traveller, years ago. in d&d the players never stick around towns long enough for it to be useful.

 

[Bran Blackbyrd]

I always consider taking ranks in forgery, but if I do I rarely pick up more than two or three.
Unfortunately the games I've been in rarely give me the opportunity for such things.

*sigh*

Two weeks ago was the first and only time I saw a D&D player take Forgery.

It's in my Wednesday night Eberron game, and the player in question had just read about identification papers, travelling papers, letters of credit and letters of marque.

Quote, "Finally a reason to take Forgery".

I agreed.

Player used it with gather information, his adventuring rogue was a 'paper man'. He would use gathering info for seals, names of important people, inks, types of paper and such then produce on demand his services to the local guild. It provided him an income when not with the party.

Papers he produced:

Certificate of Birth
Certificate of Death - In a world where people can come back this is big! As it id proof someone has given up rights to his holdings!
Passports
Rights of Trade
Bill of Sales
Bill Of Taxation - Smugglers love this one, most parties too!
Right of Entry
Warrents
Bounties ​

Player had a good time with it.

really depends on the campaign and the party.

my last character took 0 ranks in forgery. even tho, it would have come in handy.

but the party wasn't interested in papers or official writs. just kill the monsters and take their stuff.

you can read about it in the story hour in my sig.

 

[Munin]

Never.

But after reading this thread my next character will.
