[QUOTE="I'm A Banana, post: 1667115, member: 2067"] There's a few way to handle this. My idea? Just use a ring of [i]Alter Self[/i] or [i]Disguise Self[/i]. The wearer can choose what to look like, so they can choose to blend in, to look like a servant, etc, and the spell already has a bonus built-in for Disguise checks. In one case, it is an illusion, so it works exactly like "I thought I saw him wearing an apron!", in the other it's a transmutation, so you actually do look like the guy. Go with the lower-level to achieve the effect, most likely. Another way would be to make a new spell, something like [i]Unnoticability[/i]. It'd be a mind-affecting compulsion, of the Enchantment school, affecting the caster. It'd be first level.
