[sblock=Re: Dragonmarks]- Clothes can be taken off, which reveals the mark if its not concealed
- Detect magic *might* work when the mark is active, unclear otherwise. In 3.5, you could use Arcana to ID a mark you see, and detect magic to see its spell like ability. [/sblock]
[sblock=Re: Re: Dragonmarks]That makes sense... Using Arcana/detect magic for this purpose would be up to the DM, I suppose. If allowed, the conceal ritual could also block that like it does Perception.
I guess when exactly a mark is "active" might not always be clear. Is the scribing mark active every time Roswyn speaks one of the granted languages? Probably. What if she's just listening to one of the languages? Less clear. How about when she uses Diplomacy? Maybe...[/sblock]
[sblock=Re: Tondrek]Oh, there are defenitly rumors going around in the right circles as Tondrek was "exposed" to defame a Cannith heir (see his BG). The name of the half-orc wasn't given, but there was a vague description. Tondrek's also been floating around the Sharn underbelly so some rumors (ala, Streetwise) of him (though less so of his mark, likely) would be floating around. So Roswyn is free to suspect something, its the evidence which is the problem...[/sblock]
[sblock=Re:Re: Tondrek]That's perfect! Roswyn is in fact trained in Streetwise and could have heard the rumor... thus want to keep an eye on this strange half-orc to find evidence to confirm the rumor. So, good excuse to join an adventure that she might not otherwise be too keen to join! Roswyn is not really an "adventurer" per se, so I have to look for excuses.
