Rules Update: Forgery

The following text has been appended to the skill Forgery:

A document that is forged must have a footnote that reads:

OOG: Forgery, + X Profs, Card ###

A document that is signed with the seal of a Baron, Cardinal, or other (higher) ranking official must be signed:

OOG: Authentic, Character Name, Card ###

In both cases, the term "Card ###" is replaced by a Marshal's, Storyteller's, or Director's name in the case of an NPC.

Note that the use of a seal is not mandated by a character, if they wish to write an unofficial document (such as a personal journal) - and such documents can still be forged.

This will be added to the June 2012 edition of the Rulebook.

The current forgery already reads:

All nobles holding the title of Baron or higher and all clergy holding the title of Cardinal or higher are immune to forgery, as their documents always bear official seals that cannot be forged.

So the additional modification might be called for:

All nobles holding the title of Baron or higher and all clergy holding the title of Cardinal or higher are immune to forgery, as their official documents always bear official seals that cannot be forged.


Also just to be clear on the rules with Forgery
Are lesser official seals considered able to be forged or not?

Good catch, thank you.

Yes, the Lords, and members of the Court / Council that are not actually the Baron, can be forged.
