Disguise removed upon being hit

On a general grand scheme of things without going too far into details, would you like this change?

A disguised character shield blocks/parries/dodges an attack, no change.
A disguised character gets hit, the disguise is removed.

Again, this is a high level poll. If most say no here, then there's no point in fleshing out the details, so if you're at all interested in seeing this change, then vote Yes, and after we get into the details portion of this change, if you don't like the details, you can vote No then.

Begin!

Hah. I love how players think this accomplishes something. I'll entertain you regardless.

Why thank you, kind sir.

I on the other hand won't entertain you. A Clooney impersonator would still look like Clooney after being shot by an arrow, just like Clooney with an arrow sticking out of him.

Silly idea doesn't make sense.

How do you think disguise works? Is it a physical mask, clothing with pads to increase size? That clothing would be ripped off and your original clothing under it would be showing. The mask would chip and break, showing your true face behind it.

If it's magical, does it require some amount of concentration? If it's the latter, then oh...nevermind. Otherwise, I still think that being hit by anything would damage your disguise, and that's what I'm using to rationalize that the disguise becomes useless after being hit.

I see disguise more like Peeta from Hunger Games. In which case, all rogues are pansies and getting shot doesn't change that.

Can someone else confirm this? But my experience is that disguise already seems to last not as long when in a lot of combat. Then again, it could just be in my head. Also, fleeing definitely breaks disguise (and all other forms of stealth).

Fleeing already breaks disguise, being involved in combat while disguised makes the disguise last much less longer, and you cannot disguise while your pulse is racing.

I think it's fine enough as it is in that regard.

This isn't a change to address how long disguises last while in combat.
