TullyBBurnalot Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 One of my biggest gripes with the forensics system right now is the fact that a changeling can brutally whack someone to death with a crowbar, then hold someone tight right next to them for about 20 seconds, stab them with a proboscis and suck out all their fluids... And leave no evidence. No prints, no DNA, no fibers. You'd think brutally assaulting someone and sucking all their fluids by basically chokeholding them would leave behind SOMETHING, but no. My proposal would be that grabbing someone, pulling someone, applying cuffs on someone, or otherwise just interacting with someone in a way that would involve direct physical contact would have a chance of leaving behind a print, fiber or, in rare occasions, a DNA string.

MrRogueAce Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 agreeing with the forensics addon, not agreeing with example with changeling (let me work on why I don't for a hour) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
De Onut Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 All 'touchy' actions should leave fingerprints, or have a chance to. Including hugging. Every person having 50 pairs of prints on them from extensive hugging inbound. Another addition to the forensics system could be foot or shoe prints. Each species leaving a unique footprint, and each shoe type leaving something special. This wouldn't be all that important, unless it happened to be galoshes, jackboots, or other somewhat unique foot wear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KasparoVv Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 Hugeass +support. Also, was the ling just wearing gloves? Maybe it's a ling ability to not leave prints. They could've had a genetic ability, as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
improvedname Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 Then add a new ability Where you leave no fingerprints Yu may say OP but it does takes a ability point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kharshai Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 This'd be a great addition, would really improve the abilities of the Detective during ling rounds, and force changelings to be a little more thoughtful when it comes to leaving husks around.

Mrs Dobbins Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 I raise a pair of black gloves, intelligence with hiding bodies and civvie jumpsuit or something to leave fibres. Another idea- the ability to mess up crime scenes by sweeping over them with an arm or something. This would leave partial fingerprints- causing there to be multiple suspects.
