Comrades in arms that fought battles together, traveled for weeks, months, even years together are going to no each other to a level that would be hard to hide. How you wield your weapons, how you pack your gear, how you sleep, how you eat. A character would have to change so much to not arouse suspicion, especially since the DnD character system pretty much forces the new character to come in filling pretty much the same role they did before. To just say straight out the character deceived everyone would require a ton of hand-waving and could quite possible extremely anger other players who would argue that their character extensive Perception and Insight skills would have ferreted out the disguise pretty quickly.Oh, and sure it is cool, for the player doing it, but probably not so much for the other players.</blockquote>
