Forensic Evaluation
Forensic Evaluation allows players to uncover information that is not immediately visible. Skilled investigators can identify thieves, determine whether someone is wanted for a bounty, detect known criminals, examine corpses, and inspect signs of lockpicking.
To use the skill, activate Forensic Evaluation and target a player, corpse, or lockable object.
Evaluating Players
Forensic Evaluation can reveal several pieces of information about a player:
Bounty Information
At high skill levels, forensic evaluators may recall information about active bounties.
- Above 80.0 skill: May determine whether the player is wanted.
- Higher skill levels reveal additional details.
- Grandmasters can identify who issued the bounty and the total reward amount.
Lord British bonus rewards are included when applicable.
Thieves and Criminals
Forensic Evaluation is particularly effective against thieves.
A successful evaluation may reveal:
- Whether the player belongs to the Thieves Guild.
- Whether the player is known as a criminal ("perma-grey").
The chance of success improves with higher Forensic Evaluation skill and becomes more difficult against highly skilled thieves.
Even experienced investigators may occasionally reach an incorrect conclusion, though this becomes increasingly rare as skill approaches Grandmaster.
Examining Corpses
Forensic Evaluation can be used on corpses to determine:
- Who killed the victim.
- Whether the corpse has been looted.
- The names of players who disturbed the corpse.
This makes the skill useful for investigations, bounty hunting, and criminal tracking.
Examining Locks
Forensic Evaluation can be used on lockable objects.
If a lock was picked, the evaluator may discover the name of the individual who opened it.
Synergy with Tracking
Forensic Evaluation provides an additional benefit to trackers.
On Angel Island, Mortalis, and Seasons-style shards, Forensic Evaluation improves a player's ability to track other players. A Grandmaster forensic evaluator receives a noticeable bonus when attempting to locate hidden or stealthy targets.
Players who specialize in hunting thieves, murderers, and fugitives often train both Tracking and Forensic Evaluation together.
Notes
- Forensic Evaluation is primarily an investigative skill.
- The skill is most valuable to bounty hunters, law enforcement characters, trackers, and anti-thief specialists.
- Higher skill levels reveal more detailed information.
- Grandmasters receive the most reliable results and the greatest bounty-related intelligence.
