Won't pass close up but to keep people from saying yes I saw a group with a centaur passing on the road. https://www.deviantart.com/manweri/a...uise-179507382

Considering that many Masai are effectively Size 1 and pygmies are Size -1 or -2, that makes sense, assuming that you have more or less typical human height and mass.

Realistically, penalties might apply to Disguise per ~2 inches/5 cm, ~20 lbs/10 kg of difference between the disguised person and the person they're imitating.

One thing that isn't obvious from the rulebook entry is that you can use Disguise on another character. Whether that's used as a complementary skill to that character's own Acting or Disguise roll or simply rolled normally is probably situational.

Watching the video linked above, I might also allow Disguise as a complementary skill to defeat Shadowing - witness the quick change bit. This would obviously require preparation of some sort on the part of the character. (You could also use it as a complementary roll to Shadowing, having the shadower do a series of minor quick changes to make it harder to spot him.)

Such use could be handled in the same way that Fashion Sense is used to aid another person.

Possibly Vision or Observation rolls could substitute for Shadowing, since a number of those progressive costume alterations are very obvious during the change.

Yes, they are. Pretty sure the changer needs a bit of time out of view of his shadow to make it work - in the video, she gives 37 seconds as an example.

That's an insanely short time to make important changes in appearance, but a horribly long time to be out of sight of one's target.
