GAMEPLAY: PERMUTATIONS: BACKROUNDS: ALTERNATE IDENTITY

 

ALT ID is per the V20 rules. Define the alternate identity with your storyteller prior to play.

 

Any attempt to investigate an Alternate Identity is 5 + the level of Alt ID difficulty to investigate

 

Investigation successes:

 

• Botch - an investigating character cannot initiate investigation on the identity again. The character can also only be convinced the identity isn't 100% solid with someone else's 5 success evidence.

• 0 successes - Simple failure. The identity holds up completely and the investigating character finds no reason to continue investigating the identity.

• 1 successes - Tiny flaw percieved. The investigating character has a hunch something isn't right (you may re-roll once more)

• 2 successes - Minor flaw percieved. The investigating character has a strong feeling the person isn't who they say they are (you may re-roll twice)

• 3 successes - Odd gap seen. The investigating character finds out the identity is false though without any solid proof to convince others with.

• 4 successes - Major flaw discovered. The investigating character finds incriminating evidence against the alternate persona.

• 5 successes - Identity blown. The investigating character has certainty the identity is false and enough proof to disprove the identity to layperson.

 

Overcoming Alt ID does not identify true identity.
