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 Skill Pack====
====Disguise Pack====
The Disguise Skill Pack allows the user to disguise themselves. It can obscure their sex, race, appearance, face, voice and anything that would lead to identification, but only by wearing a mask/cloak/robes. It does not function as shapeshifting. It is impossible to identify a person who is actively using a Disguise from the Disguise Skill Pack. However, if the user is Knocked Out or Restrained, a disguise can be removed and their identity revealed. Note that all these changes do not actually occur on the body and are purely cosmetic. Disguises should always involve some form of face mask/helmet, but can be multiple variations of different disguise. This cannot disguise visual tells from Afflictions, or disguise the fact that the user is a member of some Affliction if it is obvious. This cannot be applied to Abilities or Mechanics like Engineering Golems. This Special cannot be combined with, or used at the same time as, any other Disguise Ability or Special.
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.
====Parkour Pack====
 
The Parkour Pack allows the user to deploy Parkour or urban free-running in Regalia that other Characters normally would not be able to do. The Character is able to walk on the roofs of Regalian houses (which are normally too steep to allow a person to walk on them without this Pack), and stand on ledges or scaffolding. The user may move around Regalia with Jump 2 and reach any part they could feasibly reach without the use of Enderpearls and without using leaf blocks to stand on. All other players without similar mechanics cannot use Jump 2 in roleplay.  
====Fleet Footed Pack====
====Outlaw Pack====
This pack is for those that wish to move quicker than most in combat.
The Outlaw pack is for the underhanded and dextrous, choosing to fight with quick strikes instead of trained slices.

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.
