Typically used with: Presence.

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.

Difficulty

Disguise checks are always opposed by a Discern check. Below are some situational penalties.

Example DL

Disguise attempts cannot be retried without the expenditure of a fate point; however, the character can try a different disguise on the same subject.
