How would you all feel about a cross-dressing character. I'm not talking about a guy who just dresses in girl clothes, I mean a guy who pretends to be a girl. If any of you have read or seen the third generation Robotech series, a character like Yellow Dancer (Lancer) is what I'm talking about. The character is not gay, but is hiding from something in plain sight as a popular female singer/dancer.

Here is a bio for Lancer/Yellow Dancer. The character (a male elf) would be sort of like this.

I'm not sure why anyone would have a problem with that.

I'm also not sure what this is doing here.

It really belongs in what's a player to do.

Why not? I'm currently playign a girl pretending to be a guy *shrug*

Thread belongs on character development or what's a player to do?

cross dressing (usually as a girl pretending to be a boy, but not always) is a common theme in mythology and fantasy literature.

It shouldn't be a problem for a reasonably mature group of players.

I'd like to suggest the Spymaster PrC and a Hat of Disguise, just so this thread has a tiny bit of relevance.

Be a Bard and take Alter Self as one of your 2nd level spells. Qualify for Spymaster and then move into Virtuoso if you really want to be a singer/dancer.
