Disguise

The super spy posing as the king (the king having just met with a terrible fate), the undercover martial artist gathering secrets from a rival clan, and the minstrel taking place in a large-scale play all make use of the Disguise check to its fullest. If a character wants to look like someone else, or at least not look like him or herself, the Disguise skill is a necessary tool.
