People can also recognize you by your equipment, too.

Ex: A trap-happy male half-elf elf is here.
The ghost of a trapped male human yells 'Some scout killed me!'
The ghost of a trapped male human looks at a trap-happy male half-elf.
The ghost of a trapped male human yells 'Kegyce! Kegyce is here!'

:lol:

Kegyce kill someone..LOLz

Disguise is more so for getting an advantage in PK, like having an uxmaln packmule and being an "uxmaln" human(its [REDACTED], but people do it)


When I had Divalni, I looked at my pets to find other keywords for them other than their adj, like the gorilla i'd use huge, because it was an immense gorilla, but also huge.

So, what is and isn't abuse? Disguising as uxmaln for a pk advantage certainly is. Does the second example you provide do the same?

See... Gasbah used disguise as a way to play multiple characters in the same play and it was awesome.

You guys who just abuse things for PK. You are the ones who are pathetic.

SHAME ON YOU! SHAME!

That really doesn't help what COULD be a constructive conversation, Fep.

It's really easy to play the black-and-white game - but few skills in the game are so clear-cut. Disguise is a great ability for both RP and PK. Who says someone wouldn't try and change their appearance so as to confuse the enemy? It makes perfect sense. Sure, there are cases where people are making completely ridiculous adjectives just to get that extra edge in PK, but the solution is simple. Hold each other accountable. There's plenty of IC methods of enforcing what you deem to be proper usage of the ability.

IMO, any disguise that wouldn't fly as a normal adjective is abusive - uxmaln is obviously in violation, but huge could work. There's ways to make yourself appear larger than you are, and I suppose you could have a naturally huge half-elf.

huge-nosed half elf. If you put just a LITTLE more effort into it, a PK advantage trick like that could look like a well thought out RP quirk.

I hope this isnt a violation.. I didn't know people from a region didn't look like they were from there.

Best example I can think of is Asian.

I concur. There are plenty of examples of people who look as though they come from a certain region or culture. I don't see anything wrong with using Uxmaln or Zhensh as an adjective.
