Disguise: Characters trained in this proficiency can conceal their appearance through makeup and costuming. If they seek simply to alter their appearance without concealing size, sex, or raceùfor example, to go out in a city without anyone discovering what they look likeùthey can succeed without a proficiency check.

If the task is more difficultùthe character in disguise meets and talks with an acquaintance, for exampleùa successful proficiency check is required. Characters who try to alter the appearance of their sex, race, or size, must make successful proficiency checks with a û2 penalty for each category.

Characters who attempt to disguise themselves as specific persons must make proficiency checks when they encounter and speak with someone who knows the other individuals. All of these checks suffer an inherent û2 penalty.

Note that the talent of impersonation (see traits) can improve a characterÆs success with the disguise proficiency.
