|The person inspecting has met the person you're impersonating before

|The person inspecting has met the person you're impersonating in the last year

The creature automatically beats your score if they have interacted with the person that you are impersonating in the last month, the person you are impersonating is a well known individual in the area you’re in, or the inspector knows the individual that you are impersonating personally

|''Repeatable.'' You gain +3 to Disguising and +3 to Forging checks

|''Repeatable.'' You may have an additional identity. It takes you one hour to switch between identities

|'''Quicker Identites'''

|If you attack someone who is Completely Surprised and has been fooled by your identity, that attack is an automatic crit and deals maximum damage.

|You may attempt to Charm someone who has been fooled by your Identity. Make a CHA roll vs LOG. If you hit, they treat you as a friendly acquaintance for 1 minute, and do not know they have been Charmed. This does not work if the creature is in combat.

* '''Coin Toss.''' (½ LUCK/Rest) Your next d20 roll becomes a 50/50 chance. If you roll an odd number, treat it as a 1. If you roll an even number, treat it as a 20.

|You gain +3 In Savoir Faire and +3 Skill Points that you can spend on any skill with the influence tag.

|You may now spend 1 Luck Point to force a creature to reroll their INT check made to overcome your Identity Score.

|You can now abandon an identity after you attempt a Rug Pull using the rank 5 Charlatan ability. There is a 50% chance that the blame will fall on the person you were impersonating instead of you.

|'''Conman Extraordinaire'''

|Who exactly are you? No one knows. Your original identity has been completely erased from all records and only the people closest to you might know your real name.  

You may now attempt a grand impersonation. When someone inspects you, they gain no bonus from having heard of the person that you are impersonating or from having met them before. People who personally know the creature you are impersonating will only find you out if they can see you and are within 30 ft of you. Your Grand Impersonation only lasts for 24 hours, and you may only attempt a Grand Impersonation once a week. After 24 hours, future inspections gain a +40 bonus to their roll.
