Check: A character's Disguise
check result determines how good the disguise is. It is opposed by others' Spot
check results. Make one Disguise
check even if several people make Spot checks. The GM makes the character's Disguise
check secretly so that the character is not sure how well his or her disguise holds up to scrutiny.
If the character doesn't draw any attention to him or herself, however, others don't get to make Spot checks. If the character comes to the attention of people who are suspicious, the suspicious person gets to make a Spot
check. (The GM can assume that such observers take 10 on their Spot checks.)
The effectiveness of the character's disguise depends in part on how much the character is attempting to change his or her appearance.

Usually, an individual makes a Spot
check to detect a disguise immediately upon meeting the character and each hour thereafter. If the character casually meets many different people, each for a short
time, the GM checks once per day or hour, using an average Spot modifier for the group (assuming they take 10).
Try Again?: No, though the character can assume the same disguise again at a later
time. If others saw through the previous disguise, they are automatically treated as suspicious if the character assumes the same disguise again.
Special: A character can take 10 or take 20 when establishing a disguise.
A character without a disguise kit takes a -4 penalty on Disguise checks.
A character with the
Deceptive feat gets a +2 bonus on all Disguise checks.
A character can help someone else create a disguise for him or her, treating it as an
aid another attempt.
Time: A Disguise
check requires 1d4 x10 minutes of preparation. The GM makes Spot checks for those who encounter the character immediately upon meeting the character and again each hour or day thereafter, depending on circumstances.
