Forensics

Forensics Technical Proficiency [Knowledge] 1200 hours Double learning difficulty You know the fundamentals of death. With a successful skill check you can determine the time and cause of death. Less fresh corpses are harder to diagnose, as are some types of death (poison or disease for example). The higher the roll, the greater the information gained (such as knowing the murderer's height and handedness). An estimate of the time of death may be made-based in part upon temperature, dampness, and the pupae sacks of the insects that feed upon the dead body. This skill is especially useful if combined with knowledge of poisons and disease.
