How long would you say it would take someone with no base template to go off of, to forge imperial papers, giving them clearance to enter a restricted area?

Without a template to work from?
Never.
You have to have something to work from, even a sketch or someone's visual recollection, otherwise you're doomed.
If they have a sketch only, or verbal description only, I'd say a month would give them something that could pass a cursory inspection, but nothing that would pass someone who's paying attention. For that, I'd say close to 3 months.
And a real good forgery roll. |

| I agree with nothing to go on, never. But a good forger can get a hold of something, or buy something that would give them a basis. One of my fav characters specializations was Forgery: ids. I played him a character like the Saint. |

| Grimace is right. They'd need at least some kind of visual memory to go off of... |

Since there is nothing to go on, it technically wouldn't even be a forgery. It would be a con.
His forged papers would depend on his ability to con someone, which an Imperial would get an automatic success against as he has verifications for real papers.

| There ya go. You just have to con the Imperials into not even LOOKING at your papers. Kinda like a fake police badge- do the ol' whip & flip with them, like you've done this whole dance ten thousand times, and know you have ten thousand more to go... |

| If you have a high enough Con skill, and the person looks inattentive enough, you can actually do it with a pack of smokes. Ala Jake Blues. |

Basically, that's it. You don't have anything to go on, it's a con, not a forgery.
And just a short time after I mention it everyon gets creative with how to make it work anyway.
