BG3: How to Use Disguise and Change Appearance & Race
The most obvious way to use the Disguise Self spell is to disguise yourself in front of unfriendly characters. For example, you might have a bad relationship with a merchant if you bargained too low or if you stole something from him. Use the Disguise Self spell so that he doesn’t recognize you and can offer you better prices.
If, for some reason, you need to enter the territory of enemies or a race that dislikes other races, such as the Githyanki, use the Disguise Self spell and transform into their appearance. This way, you can remain undetected so that you can do what you need to do without having to fight.
Also, there are many passageways in the game that will be too small for some races to fit through. However, this won’t be a problem if you use the Disguise Self spell to transform into one of the smaller races, such as the Dwarf race. You can also combine this spell with the Enlarge and Reduce spells first to become even smaller.
Also, in the game, you can talk to the characters you have just killed. However, it’s not enough to just use the Speak to Dead spell, as the dead person may recognize their murderer and refuse to talk. Simply use the Disguise Self spell and change your race before you cast Speak to Dead and the dead character will speak with you.
