====Disguise Skill Pack====
====Disguise Pack====
The Disguise Skill Pack allows the user to Disguise themselves (a form of Mundane Shapeshifting) that allows them to change everything in their appearance (hair, eyes, body shape, height, gender presentation, etc.) except for their Race. This counts as a Disguise, and unlike many other Disguise Abilities, is always immune to being discovered, even if there is an Ability that explicitly sees through Disguises. However, if the user is defeated in Combat and imprisoned, their Disguise is automatically removed and their identity revealed. This can be used to hide Afflictions and Affinities. Disguise Skill Pack does not work on Tech Automata or Theurgy Spirits, and cannot be used on top of another Disguise.
The Disguise Pack allows the user to don a mundane disguise that prevents them from being identified in a roleplay scene. The user is able to change any aspect of their appearance such as height or build, but the disguise must always be represented as an evident costume that covers the wearer's body entirely. This disguise is able to conceal things such as Afflictions and Affinities, but if the user is defeated in Combat then the disguise is able to be removed to reveal their identity. Keep in mind that using a Disguise should not be used in anti-RP ways to avoid consequences perpetually. While it can help with Crime RP or keep one step ahead of one's enemies, making a character completely untouchable may result in Staff intervention. Also keep in mind that wearing an obvious disguise may cause characters and NPCs to react differently than if they were in the scene unmasked, and certain places, like the Imperial Palace, will bar Masked/Disguised characters entirely.

The Ability and Proficiency System
This page involves the Abilities and Proficiency system, which is a core part of how Combat Roleplay and "Competitive" Roleplay works on Massivecraft. To see an explanation of general Rules, Terminology, and Mechanics used on this page, read the Abilities page. To see a broader explanation of the Abilities and Rules used on this page, read the Proficiency Page. To see an indexed list of all Abilities, read the Ability List Page.

Roguery Point Buy is part of the Proficiency System. Its Packs allow a Character to get better at Rogue or Criminal activities. While in theory it is all Mundane Techniques, players can add Magical aesthetics if they like.

Disguise Pack

The Disguise Pack allows the user to don a mundane disguise that prevents them from being identified in a roleplay scene. The user is able to change any aspect of their appearance such as height or build, but the disguise must always be represented as an evident costume that covers the wearer's body entirely. This disguise is able to conceal things such as Afflictions and Affinities, but if the user is defeated in Combat then the disguise is able to be removed to reveal their identity. Keep in mind that using a Disguise should not be used in anti-RP ways to avoid consequences perpetually. While it can help with Crime RP or keep one step ahead of one's enemies, making a character completely untouchable may result in Staff intervention. Also keep in mind that wearing an obvious disguise may cause characters and NPCs to react differently than if they were in the scene unmasked, and certain places, like the Imperial Palace, will bar Masked/Disguised characters entirely.
