Disguise

Post by Isolrem » Sat Jul 02, 2005 12:48 am

A character may hide his identity, description and partial attires with a hood and cloak.
E.G.
A broad-shouldered human called Moptuk is here
Description
Veins outline the muscular arms of
this human, who stands over 6' tall
and walks in deep and heavy strides.
Equipment
Body: Leather Armor
Around Body: A flowing cloak
Head: A hood
Legs: Peasant trousers
Left hand: Crude Shield
Right hand: The holy sword of kings

Moptuk uses disguise

A cloaked and hooded figure is here
Description
He wears a loose cloak and covers his
face, making his features undistinguishable
Equipment
Around Body: A flowing cloak
Head: A hood
Left hand: Crude Shield
Right hand: The holy sword of kings
Chars: Aryvael et all.

Please make sure there aren't already skills like this in the game. This is a skill that the rogues guild has had for quite some time.

Help disguise

Syntax: disguise <long description>

This disguse command sets what is seen of you when someone enters a
room in which you are standing. You will give yourself away as soon as
you speak however. If you have a disguise kit you will be better at
the skill.

* This skill is affected by the type of armour you wear. Heavier armour
will increase the chance of failure in this skill.

Yes, I knew this was available, didn't think it was called disguise however, so my name should be changed :D
The point of my skill is that it is clearly evident the user wants to remain anonymous, covered in hoods and cloaks, and a multitude of things are thus hidden.

Actually, I think this would be a nifty thing for non-rogues. Making cloaks and hoods (or possibly just a special set you have to pick up somewhere) obscure your adjective and long desc.

I think this would be better done as a prog on certain cloaks, instead of as a skill in the game.
Glim asks Gwain 'Can I be on the watch?!?'
Gwain raises an eyebrow.
Gwain seems to display a look of complete horror for a second...

I think it would work, but like a disguise kit, you would use a cloak or something like it.

A couple of posts (Aludrien's at the top and Bugoron's three or four down)
on the second page of this thread discuss how disguises might help Rare
Races trying to enter WD and places like that.

Disguise (very specifically Cloaks) discussed here:

Please, please, please, use the search option.

Cloaks in disguise have been beaten to death before (the last thread is locked)

Just a little search can clear up all sorts of things ;)

What matters the most is how well you walk through the fire.
