i think if they fail they should turn grey to whom they failed towards, but a succesfull detective shouldnt be flagged i dont think
Doesn't really make any sense..

makes alot of sence sir, re-read it maybe?
Sense.
Why would a fail make them grey, but a success not?
Unless you plan on the reveal spell also doing the same thing.
Regardless of the fail/success, it would still flag you as an aggressor and leave you unable to recall etc.
If you initiate an action against someone, it should flag you, or it shouldn't.
Success/fail shouldn't determine it.

well if you succesfully detect someone they wouldnt know, if you flagged everytime you did the skill on someone youd be flagged to everyone, that doenst make sence. maybe its just me and my way of thinking, and it was just a thought.

I'm a thief and I'd love to see this implemented. Perhaps a successful kill by someone with forensics could implements very short stat loss for the thief. Make it so tracking works like its suppose to but let those with forensics take a thief out of commission for just an hour or two? That would be a lot of fun and the chase would be fun as well.

Very true but I think it may be a fun thing to add and a good trade off for fixing tracking which is broken. My thief is a fully loaded mage thief. So pots, pouches, quick dressing and undressing of armor macros. I love the chase aspect of being a thief and I think it would be fun if there was an incentive and skill to give people a reason to seak me out and kill me. I think another fair trade could be made for PKs regarding statloss.

Awesome idea! I was thinking of a statloss style penalty as well. Maybe have it like the bounty system? If you turn in a thieves head they suffer perhaps 2 hours statloss or you can ransom it back to them for a fee. The system is in place, I don't think it would be difficult to add onto it. I wouldn't mind thieves being so OP if something like this were implemented. Give then SOME risk at least.

Yeah, which is "That guy's a thief." The white haired, pageboy-headed naked redlined stealther named "Ferdinand" is a thief? Y'don't say? THANKS GM FORENSICS.
Everyone has that ability without investing points, though. It doesn't even tell you if they're perma or not (which doesn't mean anything anyway, 'cause most if not all thieves just kill themselves, or start blind stealing until they get caught).
I'm all for detectives and cops/robbers. Make it useful.

I Die as a thief more then I succeed, It's not that OP, Just put your stuff away, AFK at the bank with a vanq bow is not a good idea..
