Description:
The ability to make yourself appear as someone else takes practice. Disguise is the art of convincingly imitating the appearances of other people. It is a very demanding skill, requiring intense training and practice. A character can use disguise to make minor changes to alter their appearance. It is more difficult to imitate a specific person’s appearance. Characters can only attempt to imitate the appearance of someone they have seen before.
10 SP are paid to determine if the imitation is detected. Success is automatic if the target is a stranger to the mimicked character. There is a +3SP penalty for trying to fool an acquaintance, +5SP for fooling a friend, +7SP for a close friend, and +9SP for extremely close friends or relatives.

At rank 2, a rogue with this talent can use the items at hand and seemingly innocuous material hidden on her person to create startlingly effective disguises, reducing the amount of time it takes to create a disguise using the Disguise skill by half. The times are cumulative, so if a female rogue wants to disguise herself as a male of a different race, it would take 40 minutes.
