Disguise Self

[LukySpde]

I just casted Disguise Self on the entire party to break the gnomes and tieflings free from Moonrise Tower. I left the Moonrise Tower's zone, disguised entire party and freed them all from the prison, engaging with no one while I did so. I changed back to my normal form in Last Light Inn. When I returned to Moonrise Towers, everyone on the top floors acted normal. But when I went into the prison area, I was immediately attacked by guards. How in the F do they know my party was the culprits? This spell needs to be fixed to work according to it's name.

Disguise self is only useful for speak with the dead and nothing else

It's almost like they have magical all-seeing eyes floating around isn't it?
Dunno why they didn't trigger earlier though. Anyway, XP farm and loot the place.

Not sure if that specific event is a feature or a lack of feature.
After visiting some vendor many times in disguise, he suddenly started commenting on it. "You wont fool anyone"

The spell has way more utility than that.

I hope this isn't an attempt to justify the spell.

Well I freed Minthara from there while the guards were distracted by Astarion, then he ran off and everyone got out via the boat, and they were also aggro when I went back. Even funnier is that I killed the Warden and the 3 eyes beforehand, and that didn't aggro anyone.

They only state that they see invisibility. I've disguised self successfully to assassinate leaders in the goblin camp. Of course after you assassinate all leaders, the goblins basically become feral.

Not really. It's good for flavor if you want some race specific dialog options, but those mostly are just alternative options that lead to the same outcome that some other dialog option would have led to anyway.

I think you can also use it to change the height of your character (disguise yourself as one of the smol races), allowing you to crawl through those little holes and stuff you sometimes find.

I dunno but iirc those hole only useable if you transform as cat/mice or gaseous form. Picking halfling not really make you able to go through hole, but gith can use their hand to dig instead using shovel

Holes come in different sizes.

I believe you have to use a shrink spell on them. Have not done it though myself as it seems a convoluted way to access places xD

I thought the spell was also useful in thieving. To tell that shop keeper. Oh no I didn't rob you it was a female dwarf that did it.

Ok, since holes are confusing to people
In this game:
There's holes everyone can get through, but sometimes you first have to drag a corpse out.
There's holes small races (gnomes and halflings mainly) can get through but the larger ones can't
There's holes that only Small Creatures like cats, rats and squirrels (e.g. polymorphed druids and familiars) can get through. BTW Quasits count as small race, not small creature.
I think there's a hole only gaseous form works on, but I'm not sure if that's intended or a bug.

I do believe if you shrink gnome and hafling bodytypes with enlarge/reduce spell, you can enter the smallest holes
