clever idea someone at work had

in the context of D&D but it could work in other systems fine

If you are a character who commits crimes

An assassin or rogue or whatever

And you’re worried about law enforcement

Take an investigation skill proficiency

And analyze your own crime scenes

Just a use of the skill I had never considered before is all

analyze them and then destroy evidence

Just so

all ruined when some fucking caster pulls out 'speak to window' and it tearfully describes the monster who smashed its neighbor into a thousand pieces on their way in

Get another caster to create you a magic item that casts mending, it'll be traumatized but fine.
