Decryption
The Decryption skill is a Knowledge Specialization skill characters can earn XP in. A character’s Decryption skill represents their ability to solve logical problems or decipher codes and hidden messages. A character with a high Decryption skill typically can solve difficult riddles, find nuanced meanings in literature, decode encrypted messages, or play logic and strategy games at high levels.
Decryption includes a variety of activities such as: playing chess, solving riddles and puzzles, decoding encrypted messages, discovering a document is a forgery and finding or interpreting hidden meanings in written passages. Decryption does not include understanding if someone is lying with the exception of forgery as that would fall under the Intuition skill.
Forgery specifically can be determined either with Intuition if one knows the person who is being forged (and thus knowing if the handwriting is off, if the word choice is strange, etc) or with Decryption if they do not know the person by using other documents to compare or otherwise find evidence for fraud.
