# Description
The perfect tool for anyone who wants to engage in trickery, a disguise kit enables its owner to adopt a false identity.
**_Components._** A Disguise Kit includes cosmetics, hair dye, small props, and a few pieces of clothing.
**_Deception._** In certain cases, a disguise can improve your ability to weave convincing lies.
**_Intimidation._** The right disguise can make you look more fearsome, whether you want to scare someone away by posing as a plague victim or intimidate a gang of thugs by taking the appearance of a bully.
**_Performance._** A cunning disguise can enhance an audience's enjoyment of a performance, provided the disguise is properly designed to evoke the desired reaction.
**_Persuasion._** Folk tend to trust a person in uniform. If you disguise yourself as an authority figure, your efforts to persuade others are often more effective.
**_Create Disguise._** As part of a Long Rest, you can create a disguise. It takes you 1 minute to don such a disguise once you have created it. You can carry only one such disguise on you at a time without drawing undue attention, unless you have a _Bag of Holding_ or a similar method to keep them hidden. Each disguise weighs 1 pound.
At other times, it takes 10 minutes to craft a disguise that involves moderate changes to your appearance, and 30 minutes for one that requires more extensive changes.
