Remeber that disguise skill I posted earlier (Yes, I still contend that
it should be a seperate skill from Stealth ...)?

Here's a new use for it:
A free spirit with the human form power can use the disguise skill (if it
has it) to "mold" his/her/its human form (Kind of like Clayface* from
Batman the Animated Series) and/or impersonate a specific person.

*Note: By this, I mean to reference Clayface's ability to shapechange
into different human forms not his ability to mold his body into weapons
and such ...

Btw, could a free spirit with human form mimic an obvious cyberlimb?
(ie, the human form looks like it's cybered?)

If you want game mechanics for this, treat this ability as the spirits
choice of Healthy Glow, Fashion, and/or Makeover at a Force equal to the
spirit's Force+Spirit Energy and/or a Physical Mask Spell at a force
equal to the spirit's Spirit Energy. Casting is as per Innate Spells.

Sound good?

Of course it could, it would only LOOK cybered, though, and metal
detectors and similar devices wouldn't pick it up (which would REALLY
screw with the guards' minds).

It'll work, but I always though Free Spirits can do that wanyways
(immitate anyone) without any special skill.

Now tell me, what was your problem?
