-Bluff determines how easy it is for your character to fabricate a lie. The DC to do so depends upon the creature you're lying to, though usually your Bluff check is directly opposed by the opponent's [[..Sense Motive]] skill.+Con determines how easy it is for your character to fabricate a lie, mislead, or otherwise mask the full truth. Overall it is used when being less then truthful to convince someone to do something or take your words as truth. It also determines how well you can hide your true appearance, just as you conceal lies as truth.
  
-Several modifiers may apply to a Bluff check, depending on the situation. Below is a table which lists more common factors, though more may arise based upon GM discretion.

 +==== Disguise ====
 +
 +Your [[priority:skills:bluff|Con]] check result determines how good the disguise is, and it is opposed by others’ [[priority:skills:perception|Perception]] check results. If you don’t draw any attention to yourself, others do not get to make [[priority:skills:perception|Perception]] checks. If you come to the attention of people who are suspicious (such as a guard who is watching commoners walking through a city gate), it can be assumed that such observers are taking 10 on their [[priority:skills:perception|Perception]] checks. If you are impersonating a particular individual, someone who is familiar with that individual may receive a bonus of up to +20 on their [[priority:skills:perception|Perception]] check.
 +
 +Creating a disguise requires 1d3 × 10 minutes of work. Using magic (such as the [[priority:magic:spells:tier1:disguise_self|]] spell) reduces this action to the time required to cast the spell or trigger the effect. You may take 20 on Disguise, but it takes a minimum of two hours to do so.
 +
 +You get only one [[priority:skills:bluff|Con]] check per use of the skill, even if several people are making [[priority:skills:perception|Perception]] checks against it. The [[priority:skills:bluff|Con]] check is made secretly, so that you can’t be sure how good the result is.
 +
 +The effectiveness of your disguise depends in part on how much you’re attempting to change your appearance.
