A character can disguise either him/herself or another character physically if he/she spends ten minutes with access to the right make-up and wardrobe and makes a dice roll using his/her Acting (including physical disguise specialism) + CO.
The difficulty depends on the nature of the disguise being attempted, as follows:
| Nature of disguise | Difficulty |
| Simple (e.g. a peasant, a merchant, etc.) | 3 |
| Basic make-up (e.g. to disguise a scar on face, etc.) | 5 |
| Complex make-up (e.g. to disguise physical appearance completely) | 8 |
| To appear like another specific person | 12 |
There is a penalty of -1 to -5 on the dice roll if the character lacks the proper make-up or wardrobe, or has to rush the disguise. There is a bonus of +2 on the dice roll if the character spends an hour carefully preparing the disguise.
Successful disguise counts as appropriate dress for the role, and gives a bonus of +2 on the disguised character's dice rolls to pretend to be a different person. However, if the character fails the dice roll, there will be a penalty of -1 on the disguised character's dice rolls to pretend to be a different person, per point by which the dice roll is failed.
