Stylus of the Masterful Hand

This elegant but sturdy metal stylus grants a +5 competence bonus on Forgery checks. On command, a stylus of the masterful hand can also remember up to three different types of handwriting, which allows a later attempt to create a forgery of a document without requiring the forger to have a sample of the handwriting (see Forgery). The DC to reproduce that handwriting is fixed at whatever check result was achieved during the attempt in which the sample was collected. A second command word allows the user to erase a sample of handwriting stored in a stylus.
