OBFUSCATE
THIS POWER DEMONSTRATES A VAMPIRE'S ABILITY TO BLEND IN TO THEIR ENVIRONMENT AND DISAPPEAR, AS WELL AS ALTER THEIR APPEARANCE. BECAUSE THIS POWER AFFECTS THE MIND, MORE SO THAN THE PHYSICAL SENSES, VISION ENHANCEMENTS MAY NOT ALWAYS BE APPROPRIATE. IN CASES WHERE THEY ARE, THEY WILL BE LISTED IN THE POWER'S DESCRIPTION.
PRIME ATTRIBUTE: INTELLIGENCE
CLANS WITH OBFUSCATE: ASSAMITE, GIOVANNI, MALKAVIAN, NOSFERATU, AND SETITE
POWERS WITH A CLAN NAME LISTED ARE SPECIFIC ONLY TO THAT CLAN.

ACTION DURATION |
TARGET # | |
| LEVEL 1 | CLOAK OF SHADOWS | The vampire may GO unnoticed by most, by hiding completely motionless in THE SHADOWS, doorway, or in any place that puts an object (not necessarily an object big enough to hide behind) between herself and others who might see her. THE FOLLOWING VISION MODIFIERS APPLY: |
complex SUSTAINED |
4/INT |
| LEVEL 2 | UNSEEN PRESENCE | The vampire may go unseen, and even be subconsciously avoided by others, unless someone is specifically looking for THEM. IF SO, THE CHARACTER RECEIVES A +2 TARGET NUMBER MODIFIER TO HIDE. IF the vampire is moving in an abrupt manner, SUCH as RUNNING or DURING combat, THE CHARACTER RECEIVES A TARGET NUMBER MODIFIER BASED ON THEIR ACTIVITY. |
complex SUSTAINED |
4/INT |
| LEVEL 3 | MASK OF 1000 FACES | The vampire may assume AN appearance OTHER THAN THEIR OWN. THIS DOES NOT ACTUALLY CREATE A PHYSICAL CHANGE, IT ONLY ALTERS THE PERCEPTION OF OTHERS. |
complex SUSTAINED |
4/INT |
| LEVEL 4 | VANISH FROM MINDS EYE | The vampire may COMPLETELY DISAPPEAR FROM VIEW. EVEN IF THEY ARE STANDING FACE TO FACE WITH SOMEONE, THEY WILL COMPLETELY VANISH. ONCE THIS HAPPENS, THE VAMPIRE HAS AN UNOPPOSED COMPLEX ACTION TO MOVE OUT OF PHYSICAL RANGE FROM THE TARGET, LEST THEY HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO USE A PHYSICAL SENSE TO DETECT THEM. IF THE CHARACTER ROLLS TWICE AS MANY SUCCESSES AS THE TARGET, THEY WILL FORGET THAT THE CHARACTER WAS EVEN THERE TO BEGIN WITH. |
complex INSTANT |
4/INT |
| LEVEL 5 | CLOAK THE GATHERING | THIS POWER ALLOWS THE VAMPIRE TO USE ANY OF THEIR OBFUSCATE POWERS TO EFFECT MORE THAN ONE SUBJECT. FOR EVERY TWO SUCCESSES ROLLED, THE VAMPIRE MAY ADD ONE ADDITIONAL SUBJECT. IF ONE CHARACTER COMPROMISES THE DISGUISE OR INVISIBILITY, THEN ONLY THAT PERSON APPEARS AS NORMAL. IF THE VAMPIRE WHO IS USING THE POWER COMPROMISES IT, THEN ALL WOULD BE SEEN AS NORMAL. |

| LEVEL 6 |
SCRAWL MALKAVIAN |
The vampire may write a message that will only be understood by other MALKAVIANS, or only a SPECIFIC MALKAVIAN. If the MALKAVIAN chooses to further encrypt the message, they can do so to make it only readable by other MALKAVIANS possessing the Scrawl discipline. No other characters will even recognize the writing as a form of communication, let alone be able to decipher it. This power is exempt from possible detection by higher AUSPEX, psychic powers, etc. |

complex SUSTAINED |
4/INT |
| LEVEL 9 | CREATE NAME | The vampire may create a new identity, with its own APPEARANCE, personality, and even aura. CHARACTERS WHO DO NOT POSSESS AUSPEX OR ASTRAL PERCEPTION RECEIVE A +2 MODIFIER AT ATTEMPTS TO SEE THROUGH THIS FALSEHOOD. |
complex SUSTAINED |
4/INT |
| LEVEL 10 | MEMORY'S FADING GLIMPSE |
THE vampire may erase all traces of
their existence so that no one remembers HER, even if they read
about her, or see her on film. THE EFFECT IS AUTOMATIC AND COMPLETE,

CHARACTERS WITH ASTRAL PERCEPTION THAT HAVE AN INITIATE GRADE OF 10 OR
HIGHER. The vampire ONLY NEED roll if she meets someone who once
