Forensic Evaluation

Forensic Evaluation is the skill in Ultima Online by which a player can deduce certain details of information about other characters or objects. The skill has little use at all, is seldomely used and normally ignored. Its three uses are to determine from a corpse who the murderer is, learning if a living person is member of a thieves' guild and finding out, who picked a lock.

However, since this information is mostly useless, the skill has little use, as said above.

Use for Honesty
The skill actually did gain a use when the virtue of Honesty entered the scene. In order to gain more Honesty when returning lost items, this skill is needed. At a skill of 40 the correct city can be identified (double the Honesty bonus) and at a skill of 65 the specific owner of the item can be found (four times the Honesty reward).

Training
To train the skill, these methods are useful:


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