Using forgery – a few questions.
It seems that forgery is a somewhat open ended skill and a bit confusing to use. For example, Image Doctoring. Image doctoring is used for editing an image, painting, photo etc – but what about digital photos? If you have a hacker who gets into a system and wants to hack the security cameras stored files and remove all the runners visible in the memory of the cameras. Would he do the following… A: Hacking+Edit to modify the images/film to remove all traces B: Hacking+Edit=Complementary dice for a Forgery+Agility test to create the false image. C: Forgery+Agility=Complementary Dice for hacking+Edit to create the false image. D: Forgery+Agility to modify the image. I’m leaning towards C since the character can use his knowledge of forgery to improve the doctoring of the image. Creating a false ID card Ok, I want to fake an ID card to gain access to a facility and I need to insert information into several systems in order to gain access. A: Hacking+Edit to insert fake information inside the personel files (inserting security clearance, references to the hardcopy ID, swipe card information.) B: Computer+Edit test to edit possible images needed on the card. C: Forgery test adding successes from the hacking test in “A” and “B” D: The successes equals the threshold for anyone to see if the id is false. Now, A and B would give the forger some extra dice but I do find it logical since all the tests work together to create the fake ID card instead of just one Forgery+Agility test when computer systems and security plays an important role when it comes to ID’s. Any other thoughts? |
