Bluff disguise and perform disguise differences

Post by livingNPC »

To make listening more useful on the server, I would suggest the following:

To beat a bluff disguise check, a listening roll check is made, instead of the spot check. As bluffing is more about evading attention by use of misleading words... because bluffers can't act out a fake voice, those with keen ears can tell they're lying or has a nervous voice, as they're evading attention.

To beat a perform disguise check, a spot roll check is made, As a performance is more so an outlandish display under direct attention with body language (for instance acting out limp in your walk or personalty tick), instead of evading attention, a performer would attempt to act right in front of you. Hence someone with keen eyes, would be able to detect an act.
