Hiding Your Identity

[chase02]

Totally ignoring the transgendermogrification suggestions (seriously, wut).. I do like the idea of a piece of clothing obscuring your knowledge of who that person is (temporarily).

Would be great fun for many roleplay uses, but then I can also see it would encourage thievery even more (which is probably emphasised too much in cantr as it is, with current mechanics so easily exploitable). So I'm not sure if it is a good idea to implement this.

Does this not remind anyone else of the "Cowl of Nocturnal" that the Gray Fox (king of thieves) uses in oblivion?

It's a good idea though. I have a certain character right now who'd love it.
And not everyone could bar it, because what about people with facial disfigurements? What are we to do about them?
But how about this: veil, you can't see their char desc (how they describe themselves, as well as their age) but since you can still see their hair/head shape, you can still match name to head if you name them? And if you don't...tough cookies.
But if they wear a headwrap, you can't tell who it is at all. He attacks, you name him 'Evil Dude', he takes off his facewrap/headwrap thing, boom 'man in his twenties'. But if he puts on the head/facewrap again, he's 'Evil Dude'.
Advantages. Disadvantages. I still like it.
