[QUOTE="The Amazing Dingo, post: 1758493, member: 23353"] If you want to hide the fact of him being human, the best way to go in order to circumvent magical detection is to have a very good Disguise skill. Technically speaking the drow would only suffer a -2 to his check for trying to impersonate a human (unless he's trying to impersonate a specific human, which gives harsher penalties). The only thing you have to watch out for here is that darn rogue or ranger with a high Spot skill, but they only get that if they are suspicious. Depends on the circumstances, but in order to get around magical means of investigation, the Disguise skill is the way to go. One other idea is to use the Disguise skill to simply change his skin and hair color. After that, us Alter Self or some other type of spell to change his race. If the PC's do use magical means to detect that he is not human and the spell is dispelled, they would see him as an elf. This would give him one more layer of protection, now getting a Bluff check to try to lie his way along that he is a "normal" elf. [/QUOTE]
