[[Summary::An espionage kit contains a variety of spying devices, including listening wires, peephole drill, silver pellet, invisible ink, etc.]] An espionage kit contains a variety of spying devices, including listening wires, peephole drill, silver pellet, invisible ink, etc. A spy kit has 10 charges, each use of the spy kit deplete a single charge from it. A spy kit has multiple uses, including the one below:

''Imitation Forgery:'' An espionage kit can be used to assist in forgery, using special clay to copy a seal or alchemical ink. An espionage kit grants a +2 circumstance bonus on [[SRD:Forgery|Forgery]] checks. 

''Hidden Message:'' A small written message can be hidden in an area thanks to a spy kit, using fading ink or an easily overlooked container. A [[SRD:Search Skill|Search]] check DC 25 find the secret message or its vessel, unless the location of the message is already known.

''Remote Surveillance:'' To be used this way, a spy kit must be deployed over the course of 1d4+1 minutes to a single 5x5 feet square. This typically involves drilling a peephole through a wall, hiding a listening wire with a can, or such. While actively operating the espionage kit within 30 feet (typically from another room), you counts as occupying the 'bugged' square for the purpose of [[SRD:Listen Skill|listen]] or [[SRD:Spot Skill|spot]] check (chosen when the spy kit is used). A [[SRD:Search Skill|Search]] check DC 20 reveals the square as 'bugged'.

A spy kit can also be used for other tasks, such as covering tracks, sabotaging a wheel and whatnot. A GM may determine if a tool in the spy kit is suitable for a particular task.
 
In a modern game, devices such as microphones, concealable camera, wiretapping kit and such are included. As a result the DC to find the item used in remote surveillance increases by 5. Additionally remote surveillance can be used over any distance. A modern kit can be used for wiretapping, hacking and whatnot.
