Forensic Evaluation is the skill by which a player can deduce certain details of information about other characters or objects. It is rarely used by players and is considered a Useless Skill. The few players who undertake this skill do so mainly for roleplaying purposes.

The Dead

To use the Forensic Evaluation skill to determine information about a corpse:

• Click the blue jewel next to the skill on your skill list.
• Target the corpse.
• If successful, you learn information about the circumstances surrounding the corpse’s demise.

The higher your skill level, the more accurate a description you receive.

The Living

Forensic Evaluation can be handy for learning about living characters as well. Targeting a living characters may tell you if he or she is a member of the Thieves Guild.

Lockpicking

Curious about who picked the lock on your Treasure Chest? The forensic evaluation skill may tell you who has picked the lock on a chest as follows:

• Click the blue gem next to the skill on your skill list.
• Target the chest.

If successful, you learn who recently picked the lock on the chest. You must be a skilled detective (40 skill or higher) to have a chance at learning this information.

Training

• 0 - 30: Train at NPC Healer or Judge
• 30 - 100: Use the skill on corpses or picked chests (NB: Beyond 55.0 you won't gain anymore on corpses.)

One method is to use the skill repeatedly on a picked paragon chest. It is possible to train from 30 to GM using a single paragon chest.
