Creating A Specialist

While creating your Specialist character, consider what your primary skill set is and how you use it. You could be a street-smart mechanic who taught yourself how to fix swoop bikes as a teenager. Perhaps you are the recent graduate of an esteemed medical college, or a rookie pilot in the fledgling Rebel Alliance.

What is the number one skill you are known for? Why are you willing to enter battles when you have no combat training? How do you view the more adventurous members of your group, and how do they see you and your role?

HOLOGRAPHIC DISGUISE

Prerequisite: 7th level,

You can seem up to 1 foot shorter or taller and can appear thin, fat, or in between. You can't change your body type, so you must adopt a form that has the same basic arrangement of limbs. Otherwise, the extent of the disguise is up to you: you might use the hologram to add or change a minor feature, make yourself appear to be wearing different clothing, or to look like a completely different person.

The changes wrought by this gadget fail to hold up to physical inspection. For example, if you use the hologram to add a helmet to your outfit, objects pass through the helmet, and anyone who attempts to touch the helmet would feel nothing or would feel your head and hair. If you use this gadget to appear thinner than you are, the hand of someone who reaches out to touch you would bump into you while it was seemingly still in midair. To discern that you are disguised, a creature can use its action to inspect your appearance and must succeed on an Intelligence (Investigation) check against your Intelligence (Mechanics) check.The disguise lasts for 10 minutes or until you take an object interaction to cancel it.
