[QUOTE="Ruin Explorer, post: 7967905, member: 18"] There's no such thing in 95% of D&D settings. That's a skill in using something that they should, if they're a real calligrapher, have, so yeah they should. A calligrapher absolutely should be able to do that. He'll have experience doing precisely that. It's totally bizarre to suggest otherwise. This is non-renaissance nonsense. Not insult but that's not how forgery worked back then, and there's no such thing as "chemical treatments" to do this. Even in more recent forgery, where this is done, you have to work out precisely the right things for the specific thing you're forging. There's no generic stuff possible here. Definitely fair. Trouble is, this is one of those situations where one thing is just better than another thing of equal cost. That was unclear. A forger should have no problem at all making nice-looking wedding invites to the PC's wedding. Not sure what you're trying to say here. Literally the first D&D adventure I ever played had loos in it, in the FR, and I know some DMs can't face (and this on them, I mean grow up) putting in latrines or the like, when they draw maps, but that's crummy. I've actually seen loos appear in plenty of settings - typically they're "Roman-style", or they're just latrines/outhouses/bedpans. [/QUOTE]
