Disguising a spell with bluff skill


Rules Questions


Is there a way to disguise a spell using the bluff skill? If another caster is holding the action to counter a spell, would it be possible to use the bluff skill to make him think a different spell is being cast. If so how would you do that?


One of the classes has an archetype that makes spellcrafts harder to decipher, but that is it. I think it is an bard archetype in UM.


Sandman can disguise their casting.

Bards with Spellsong can make it appear like they're just talking, instead of casting.

Other than that? Nah, nothing official AFAIK.

With the ordinary bluff skill? Pretty much impossible. If you alter the components of the spell, such as changing the vocal and somatic, the spell fails. The exceptions to this rule are the archetypes and such mentioned earlier.
