	Sometimes running a con needs more than just a silver tongue; sometimes you need the right bait. The character can create forgeries so long as they have key details about the item to be copied or the original itself. It takes at least an hour to create a forgery, though may take longer for complex items. Realize this will not make a 100% perfect forgery, and a person that is very familiar with the real thing may notice. This ability cannot create games items with a Market Value.

	~~Holding the attention of~~ a ~~crowd is by far of key importance when it comes to~~ a ~~con~~, ~~and~~ this ~~takes everything you have. This~~ ability ~~will allow a character~~ to ~~hold~~ the ~~attention~~ of ~~everyone in~~ the ~~encounter, though those aware the ability was going to be used~~ can ~~choose to ignore it. So long as~~ the ~~character continues~~ to ~~talk and engage the audience they will be distracted and mostly ignore the world around them, so long as no~~ hostile actions are taken against them; this includes the characters’ allies surrounding the audience so they can attack. There are some circumstances that the audience’s attention may break away, especially combat even if they are not involved. This ~~ability can~~ be ~~used once each reset~~.		When hit with a hostile effect using a Physical, Natural, or Magic vector you may use this ability to artfully dodge out of the way of the attack. You can either negate this effect entirely or you may deliver the attack to a hostile entity within your weapons range. This redirection must be done within the next 3 seconds and is delivered with the same verbal component.

	Sometimes being a smooth talker is just a diversion for what is really going on. This skill allows the character to perform actions that others won’t notice. To use this ability, the character must clip a medium binder clip to the targets pouch/pocket they are using the ability on; if this action is seen in game then it is clear what happened. The player then must go to a ~~Page 225~~ Marshal, and the marshal will find the target and retrieve the clip and retrieve a random small item from the pouch; or a specific item, if named and it is located there, and no larger than the binder clip used. This ability can also be used to place an item into a pouch using the same process. This ability can be used twice each reset.

To use this ability, the character must clip a medium binder clip to the targets pouch/pocket they are using the ability on; if this action is seen in game then it is clear what happened. The player then must go to a Rogue Marshal, and the marshal will find the target and retrieve the clip and retrieve a random small item from the pouch; or a specific item, if named and it is located there, and no larger than the binder clip used. For example a standard binder clip when opened could be used to retrieve a coin but not a long sword. This ability can also be used to place an item into a pouch using the same process. This ability can be used twice each reset.

	This ability requires the character to spend no less than four separate 15 minute sessions listening to other characters discuss their theories on a topic. As the other characters pass ideas back and forth as to the why, who, and how of the situation the gears in the Bloodhounds mind turn, picking out the key facts and putting the puzzle together. After the noted time the character can go to a Plot Marshal and get thumbs up or down on a line of thought about the topic. ''Example: For months there has been a rash of midnight bandit attacks as well as the inability to find them; coupled with some shady nobles that have been in and out of the city. After listening to other talk about their encounters and failed attempts to find them, and those characters’ theories on what is really going on and the possible connections to the nobles. The Bloodhound could as the marshal something like “So with all this info and knowing that they have to be getting help, ~~ollowing~~ up on the nobles is probably the best course of action, as they are the most logical accomplice”. If the player is on the right trail the marshal would give thumbs up, if however, that just makes no sense and that is not a correct path, because players get things wrong sometimes, the marshal will give the thumbs down.''
