Kitsune Investigator with Infiltrator archetype and realistic likeness

[Inquisitor Thrace]

Is it just me (and I've misread or fumbled my maths) or is the title combo really good at disguises?
e.g. The kitsune changes to a specific human form (kitsune change shape ability +10 racial bonus, and realistic likeness +10 circumstance bonus) and then drinks the disguise self extract (+10 bonus to disguise, illusion-based), for a total of 1d20+36 (the above plus 1 rank, class still and +2 ability mod) minus any gender/size/age/etc change (note they are reduced due to infiltrator) at level 1.

And at 4th, replace the disguise self for alter self (no longer illusion, and now add the 2nd level infiltrator ability mimic mastery to add a further +10 bonus for a specific idv. total +20 from alter self) bringing it to 1d20+49 (increased ranks to 4).

Can also add inspiration, get a disguise kit, or other mundane items to increase it.

Most of the insane bonuses will be negated by true seeing (in fact all the +10's will be negated being magical in nature), but that's basically an 11th level caster

This is PFS legal.

Is this the ultimate spy? The being able to walk into any room through the front door (need a good bluff mod, you "are" the boss) as the owner?

The visual will only get you so far if you can't back it up with a decent Bluff.

I would also say that the Alter Self and Disguise Self spells are an overlapping buff with the Kitsune shape change ability, as using a shape change or illusion spell essentially makes the native ability irrelevant.

If you don't recognize your brother you have problems too.

It also doesn't help that your realistic likeness only makes you look like specific humans. So you can't walk into an orc base without raising a few eye brows.

But hey, that is what alter self (the actual spell) is for.

I think disguise self might actually stack with alterself here, since it is an illusion (glamor) spell, so it doesn't seem like it would mess with the transmutation (polymorph) of alter self (which the kitsune's ability is based off of).

At the very least, I would stack those together anyway, since disguise self has a will save. If they make the will save, and you still look unsuspicious, then alarms would likely not be raised. Not sure if you can double up like that (1 illusion and one physical), but if you can....

I agree with you, LazarX that in a logical sense they over lap, but RAW they don't with untyped bonuses.
And I know you need a decent bluff (aka maxed), but looking like, say, the guard's boss will possibly give you bonuses (they want to believe you, and you have proof).
Guess it would come down to the GM, choosing between RAI, or RAW.
Not that I mind so much, was wondering what the general view was.
