Become completely invisible so long as no one is watching you when you disappear. Beginners are only able to maintain their concealment while standing still, but experienced users can remain mobile.⚠ </br>
System: There is no roll or cost to activate this power, but it cannot be used if you are already under direct observation. Once active, you're completely invisible to all living beings. Even dedicated searchers will not uncover you without supernatural powers. If you make noise or otherwise attract attention, roll Wits + Stealth (difficulty based on the overtness of the action) to maintain your invisibility. Taking violent or extreme action such as attacking, yelling or throwing an object across the room will end this power immediately, without a roll. Your mobility with this power active is determined by your mastery of Obfuscate. At level 1, you cannot move more than 1 foot per turn without breaking the power. At level 2, you can move at half your standard movement rate. By level 3, you can move normally, so long as you don't violate the Stealth roll.
Your features blur and fuzz to those that interact with you. No one can seem to remember exactly what you look like, though they will get the generalities right. You might be remembered as a tall man, but no one will agree on the color of your hair, your skin, your eyes or other distinct features. With sufficient practice, even the hideous Nosferatu vampires can use this ability to pass unremarked among mortals. They may be remembered as ugly, but the blurred memories of humans will never reveal the inhumanity of their Cursed state. ⚠ </br>
System: There is no roll or cost to activate this power, but it cannot be used if you're already under direct observation. Once active, anyone looking at you will recall only the vaguest gist of your physical appearance. It is possible to pierce this effect with supernatural abilities, such as Auspex. Without such powers, only the very keenest observers can see through the Mask's effects. An observer will Willpower 9+ or Perception 5+ can roll Perception + Awareness (difficulty = your Obfuscate + Manipulation) to ignore the Mask.
Conceal an object from sight for a limited time. Those in the area remain aware enough of the object to avoid walking directly into it, but their minds simply fail to acknowledge its presence or importance directly. If the object creates noise, light or otherwise draws attention to itself, it will break the concealment just as a person using any other Obfuscate ability would.⚠ </br>
System: Enshrouding an object requires touching the target and expending a Willpower point. The number of successes on a Wits + Stealth roll (difficulty 7) must be split between how large of an object you want to hide and how long the object will be hidden for. If this ability is used on an object that you're carrying, you may continue to hold the object, but if you attempt to make use of it (reading a book, loading a gun, making a call on a phone), it will be revealed.
| 1 Success | 5 minutes | a cell phone |
| 2 Successes | 30 minutes | a backpack |
| 3 Successes | 1 hour | a bicycle |
| 4 Successes | 6 hours | a small car |
| 5 Successes | 1 day | a truck |
| 6+ Successes | 1 day per success over 5 | a semi-trailer |
Remove yourself from memory and sight, vanishing so completely that even those looking right at you will forget they saw you at all. ⚠ </br>
System: Roll Manipulation + Stealth (difficulty equal to the highest Wits + Alertness of any observer) to disappear from sight. Anyone witnessing your disappearance must roll Willpower (difficulty 7) or forget seeing you at all for (Obfuscate) minutes prior to you vanishing. Further, witnesses must also roll Wits + Courage (difficulty 9 for mortals, 5 for supernaturals) as their minds are overwhelmed by the psychic force of the illusion. If they fail, they are inactive for two turns unless violently attacked.
Extend your Obfuscate powers to cover other people, even small groups. This ability can also be used to conceal a large number of objects, if so desired. ⚠ </br>
System: When activating any level 1-4 Obfuscate power, you can now extend that effect to up to (Stealth) additional targets. This effect has no extra cost, and needs no further rolls. If you break the active Obfuscate power, the entire Cloak collapses. Other targets may break their own individual protection without revealing the entire group.
