Notes

  • If you've committed a crime and guards have been called on you, you can cast Feign Death on yourself to avoid being interrogated. The guards will generally leave before the spell runs out, and you'll keep all the stolen goods.
  • Depending on the severity of the crime, your party members might be interrogated as well and might need to roll a Charisma Check, so it's better used for petty stuff like pickpocketing or for more severe stuff if your party members are nowhere near.
