Ways to disguise a PC


Advice


I'm working on a home brew in which the PCs work for various patrons in Absalom as grunts in the "Shadow War" that the powerful wage in that city.
I want to play a drow who knows she'll be a target if anyone realizes what she is so she disguises herself as the normal elf version of herself.
When she arrives at 1st level in addition to putting points into disguise, she has the trait "Keeper of the Veil" trait set to disguise and a disguise kit. This gives her 13 for her disguise skill.
As soon as she can afford it (1600 gold)she'll buy a "False Face mask" and set it to a fair skinned blonde version of herself giving her over 20 for disguise.
I don't intend for her to be a magic class so what are some other ways for her to keep her identity a secret.

For 1800gp you can get a hat of disguise and do the same thing with no roll. http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic-items/wondrous-items/wondrous-items/h-l/hat-o f-disguise/


The vigilante class doesn't have to be magical and gives a +20 disguise skill to hide your identity. Also other bonuses if you continue beyond first level.


I found something that will do exactly what I want. Its a 2nd level Drow spell in the Advanced Race Guide called "Ancestral Regression". It makes a Drow look like the elf version of herself for 24 hours.
So I guess I'll have to have my character have some magical capability or a wand with UMD.

Alternatively -- if you don't mind dumping a feat -- you can snag the Surface Scout feat which gives you a 1/day casting of ignoble form. It does a bit more than ancestral regression, but if you prefer the latter, you could always try to talk the DM into letting you swap spells.


Thanks, That way my drow can disguise herself without needing magic.
