Proficiency in this skill means that you can recognise whether a document is a forgery or not. At each level of proficiency that a character has in this skill, the character can recognise a forgery created by someone with an equal level of proficiency in the FORGERY skill. Literacy is required to fully utilise this skill and other skills may be required to determine forgeries in other forms, such as the Role Playing Skill Art to determine forgeries in artwork, or Make and Read Maps for forged Cartography.
