Disguising Elf as Human?

[SJE]

Is it possible for an Elf to use non-magical means to Disguise themselves as a Human?

Obviously ears are an issue but let say they cover them with hair, hat, hood or clever prosthetic or are their proportions and features literally too Elven to pass?

[Wyrmslayer]

There are humans with those aquiline features. But those eyes would be a big giveaway. If the target of the deception has no familiarity with elven features one could make up that they're from a distant country to explain the eyes, might work.

Yes I'd imagine you could fool peasants and lower intelligence humans and halflings, but well-educated or well-traveled humans and any dwarfs or elves would be able to spot the disguise right away.

[Jack Ketch]

As a GM, I'd rule that any "disguise" for an elf to pass for human would probably make the elf stick out -even more-. This would be the deeply hooded and oversized black cloak, covering one's face with a thick scarf, etc.

Your best bet would be shadow magic, and that's assuming you have access.

Let it succeed, but even if it succeeds, it should resemble a scene from the movie Coneheads.

I think that it would be possible. At Pinterest, TikTok or at live cosplay events. you find lots of humans who look convincingly like elves (or have animal-like features), having used make-up and such stuff. So I don't know why it wouldn't work the other way.
