I would assume Deceit, but I can't find any rules for Disguises in the books. |

How do the mechanics work? What's the opposed roll? Are there bonuses/penalties for familiarity with the target being impersonated? If these aren't defined, I"ll add it to the 'wishlist' |

I've asked similiar questions before. I generally think you could use the rules for the "shedding the skin" spell as the template: Shedding the Skin (snip) You also gain a +3 bonus to all Deception and Performance (Acting) when attempting to convince others of your disguise. You may change your disguise at any time as a Demanding skill action. Special (Detection): Anyone meeting you with probable reason to be suspicious of your form (for example, taking the form of a Ssanu who was reported to have been killed a few days prior, or taking the form of a Val who had just left the villa a few hours before) gains a Perception (Lo) Action Skill Roll against your passive Arcanum value to detect a flaw in your disguise. But that doesn't cover nonmagical disquises. Since other disquise types spells generally say, "you cannot assume the appearance of a specific individual," the only way to do that would be through the use of mundane skills. I would like that to fall under Deceit, but that seems to be making the skill a little broad. |

I think it belongs under Deceit primarily but with a note under Perform that you can use Perform (Acting) instead of Deceit when interacting with someone while under the effects of a disguise. John |
