Anti AI Face Cutout (5e Equipment)

Wearing paper or cardboard cutout with high-definition image of someone else's face, while your real face is hidden behind balaclava and sunglasses. There's more sophisticated methods what can be combined with this one - from Anti AI Clothing to futuristic countermeasures - but this cutout is better than nothing. This works against Constructs, non-sapient Undead, and other dumb non-living entities.

If AI he spots you, he must make Perception check to figure out what you're not "the guy on image"; on failing such check, AI thinks what you're the guy on the image on cutout. It only works correctly if you have roughly same size and proportions as the person you're trying to impersonate (e.g. human passing off as an elf or other human) - trying to pass off as person of different size and stature is at Disadvantage (e.g. skinny human passing off as dwarf or morbidly obese human) - and passing off as person of widely different shape or size is impossible (e.g. human passing off as ogre or centaur). Unless you're playing incredibly silly campaign, normal people easily know what you're trying to dupe them with cutout, no checks required.

Unless using additional gear (e.g. special clothing what hides thermal signature), such method only work against normal vision. That can't help against other senses - like sound, smell, touch, scent, radar - and other methods, like DNA and fingerprint checks. It also doesn't work against augmented vision - like thermal vision.
