It<em>does</em>cover acting and mimicry, and has Charms that would be useful for pretending to be someone you're not, but I don't think that's its main purpose... it seems more the kind of thing you'd roll if you put on a mask and jumped through the ballroom window to demand a duel with the duke than if you were talking your way past a guard. If you were referring to the (In character) specialty, I would actually recommend switching it to Socialize; that Ability covers Guile and your general ability to fit in without causing a fuss, I think, so it would help you fool others.<br/><br/>But then, the GM will be the one calling for rolls... and he probably knows the game better than me anyway. I don't have much experience.
