[QUOTE="doghead, post: 6373407, member: 8243"] Yeah. What the boss said. Although I was working on the basis that the tabard wasn't sufficient in and of itself as a disguise. Which is why I suggested the two options: Option 1. Robe up the heavily armed characters (Kurl, Tender, Siva and Narančasta) because they would have difficulty hiding shields and longswords and bows and stuff. The other characters (Boral, Franko, Homer and Hank) have (as best I can tell) only darts, daggers or short swords, weapons that could be easily hidden beneath robes. Boral is the exception, he seems to have a pitchfork. They are also, with the exception of Homer, magic users, so they also have ways of acting other than using weapons. Homer, however, as a halfling, gets some pretty good sneak and hide bonuses. Option 2. Robe up the non-armoured characters (Boral, Franko, Homer and Hank) and have the others try and pass themselves off as guards.
