Summary0005691: Vampire skill lists often make them obvious
DescriptionRecently got a somewhat obvious vampire with great leatherworking and a long list of social skills. Among them, and what I happened to notice, was that he was also an expert liar...

Propose that the quality of a vampire's false identity should relate to its actual social skills (particularly liar), and that a good false identity should mask the vampire's skills down toward normal-crappy-new-immigrant status.

Bonus points if a poor false identity works the other way... "Why is my legendary-weaponsmith-immigrant producing low-quality weapons all the time?" :)
Steps To ReproduceBe paranoid. Very paranoid.
TagsNo tags attached.
