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
Trying to deceive a casual acquaintance of someone into thinking you’re them +2
Trying to deceive a fairly close friend +4
Trying to deceive a lover or best friend +10


The following table lists situational bonuses to the Disguise check.

Situation Check
Employing a costuming kit with wigs, makeup, facial hair, etc. +5
Access to the type of clothes the impersonated figure might wear. +5

Opposed Rolls

Disguise checks are always opposed by a target’s Discern check.

Retry

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