In DMG 2, there are rules for hiring a specialist to make one skill check, with prices based on level. A level 5 specialist (+23 modifier, for a DC 33 to beat) is a mere 4 gp to hire, which is ridiculously cheap. What are ways to use this? So far I've come up with:

-Hire a forger to make you military awards, letters of marque, royal pardons, etc.

-Have a disguise specialist disguise backup weapons, contraband, and money to get them past security

-Get a shellcraft mannikin (250 gp, from ghostwalk), disguise it as a person, and use it as bait in traps a la Blue Spirit.

-Hire a crafter to make all your stuff at 1/3 price.

What other uses are there for this?
