#1 dm_screen Feb 13, 2009 22:27:01	I'm having an issue with a fellow player, he says that to create a document using a code only he could decipher (unless someone had the key for it) would be a forgery check. However I disagree, I say that it would be a bluff check, because you're trying to see through their "lies" so to speak. Is there a rule for creating such codes and if so where is it? if there isn't maybe someone could clarify this issue for us please?

The rogue wants to make a document in code... a code that he made up himself? I would say make it a straight INT check. The result is the DC of the INT check to decode it. Time required to decode depends on the length of the document (I would guess 2 hours per page), and failure indicates that you are incapable of decoding it, and cannot try again.
