Notes
- If the party committs a crime and guards are called on the party, it is possible to cast Feign Death on the party member who committed the crime to avoid being interrogated. The guards typically leave before the spell runs out, and the party can then keep all the stolen goods.
- Depending on the severity of the crime, the other party members might be interrogated as well and need to roll a Charisma Check. In light of this, use of Feign Death is advised for petty crimes like pickpocketing or for more serious crimes if the other party members are nowhere near.
- Prior to Patch 7, Applying Feign Death on an allied NPC (denoted by a green outline when moused-over) was not considered a hostile action and did not offend the target or nearby NPCs. Moreover, Stealing from an NPC under the effect of
did not trigger hostility, provided no other NPCs witnessed the crime and the target NPC did not notice anything had been stolen upon waking. Failing a pickpocket attempt, however, terminated the current pickpocketing session, which could not be resumed until the next turn, yet not wake the NPC. This was particularly effective when used on Traders. However, with the application of Patch 7, only allies can be targeted by Feign Death.
