How does one conceal a CE personality within a LG or at least LN character? As in -- all divinations find Hyde but fail to properly link the actions (and proper person) to Jekyll
Yes, as it currently seems it would all be done by fiat and that just seems... messy. I like to skirt mechanics barely but remain within them as much as possible.
@LitheOhm Handwavy in-fiction thing: well, divination operates on auras, souls, all kinds of intangibles like that, right?
Is the J/H character something like two souls in one body?
I wouldn't focus on hiding Hyde perfectly. Just enough to make the normal pattern of detection not work. "You have to know what to look for" kind of thing.
If you need something thorough, I suggest that the curse carries with it an automatic nondetection spell which affects whichever personality is not dominant.
Otherwise, simply treating Jekyll and Hyde as separate personalities with separate names and separate faces should work--only divination which specifically targets the physical body would work, and then it would probably seem to have backfired.
Or, to be really weird, Jekyll is always dominant in divination because he's the "real" personality and Hyde isn't actually a person.
That would justify attempts to divine Hyde as a person would get results of "We're sorry, the person you're attempting to divine does not exist."
You could potentially justify some really wigged-out contradictions.
Did Jekyll do this? -No. Who did this? -Hyde. Who is Hyde? -No one. No one did this? -No.
But I've gotta say, hanging the continuation of your mystery on a group of players failing a game of 20 Questions is a good way to get your campaign blown early.
