I was thinking about what to do with Rexus, now that my group is reaching the end of "In Hell's Bright Shadow". I thought about having news of his parents' fate really push him to the breaking point. At this point, I am considering having him retrain his aristocrat levels as vigilante and maybe even take one more for sorcerer 1 / vigilante 3.
Where I'm going with this is, his vigilante persona is going to be CN, even possibly CE. In my game, the players have been very careful to be non-lethal in dealing with Thrune forces to keep their notoriety down. They have a warpriest of Milani who has been making a point of casting stabilize on fallen foes. If a vigilante begins killing Thrune forces, it may create an issue for them, especially if his actions cause their notoriety to rise. He will continue to be the Silver Ravens' ally by day, but by night may become a free wheeling vigilante.
I have been thinking about this and figured it wouldn't take a lot for my players to put two and two together on this vigilante's identity. But what about if I brought Rexus' transsexuality into it? In my game, this detail about him has not come up at all and the PCs have no idea about it. What if his vigilante persona is female? What is an in-game way that he could shift this back and forth easily? It's not detailed in the game, but I am assuming his transition is probably a slow process that he wouldn't want to undo, so temporary magic is the way to go here.
Any ideas on the dual gender disguise as well as a good vigilante archetype for this? Thanks!
The Alter Self spell would do the trick. Or more specifically, a Hat of Disguise, which provides Alter Self.
Alternatively, you could go with Magical Child Vigilante for Rexus and rule that the transformation causes an actual gender change. (Seeing the write up for Rexus suggests he is using medications to keep his gender male, it could also be that Rexus runs out of the medications, transitions back to female, but uses the disguise skill to pretend to still be male.)
