DISGUISE (Intelligence):

This skill is the use of makeup, putty and acting for the purposes of disguising oneself. At earlier skill levels, it allows the PC to make himself look different in order to avoid detection; at later levels, it allows the PC to actually impersonate others, though the chance of detection will be riskier.

Novice: The PC is able to change his appearance with crude, swift disguises that enable him to avoid recognition or detection. Someone who is familiar with him will still be able to recognize him but he can fool most strangers.

Proficient: The PC begins to gain skill in makeup and putty so that he will look significantly different. Only the most perceptive of those who are familiar with him will recognize him.

Advanced: The PC has gained such skill that he is able to effectively pretend to be shorter, taller, of a different build, or even of a different gender. The more different his disguise from his personal appearance, the likelier it is to be discovered.

Expert: The PC has perfected the art of disguise and can actually move the muscles in his face such that he looks extremely different even without the use of putty or makeup. The PC can attempt to impersonate a specific individual of the same gender but without extensive knowledge of the person he is impersonating and significant skill in Performance [[acting]] he runs significant risk of being discovered, especially if he runs into someone who is familiar with the person he is impersonating.
