Or, is it defining what you can do and thus what you can not do without the practice? To do something like disguising I would probably do a quick skill challenge with bluff, streetwise, and thievery. (Getting into character, knowing the character, and the quality of the disguise.)So, is the idea to require "Alter Ego" to make disguises or is just to get the bonus? Is just a skill bonus good enough to justify this mechanic? Is requiring the practice too restrictive for when you don't have the practice? These things I ponder, along with how useful these would be in my game.EDIT: Also, what's the deal with the level requirements? You have to be level 8 before you can pull off a disguise? Even considering it as having to be level 8 before you can pull off a disguise well (which would be the skill bonus approach in relation to the above) that still seems too late.Besides, the +1/2 level already takes into account getting better at something with time. A +5 bonus means the same at any level.</blockquote>
