Obfuscate
Level 1

Cloak of Shadows

Standing perfectly still, the user blends into the surroundings. As long as they have some kind of cover, make no sound, and don’t move, only mechanical or super- natural means can detect them.

  • Cost: Free.
  • System: Follow the general rules for Obfuscate. The effect lasts until the user moves or they are detected by other means.
  • Duration: One scene.

Silence of Death

Popular among the Banu Haqim, this power completely silences the user, nullifying all sound made by them. As with other Obfuscate powers, this only works on people within earshot and does not fool microphones or other electronic sound detectors. Unlike Obfus- cate in general, this power works only on the sense of hearing, but in exchange operates more ro- bustly. A vampire needs to make a whole lot of noise to break this silence.

  • Cost: Free.
  • System: The user silences their footsteps, clothing, minor collisions, and other sounds of their person. This makes the vampire undetectable if an observer could only notice them by sound, such as when on a different floor of a house. This power does not eliminate sounds the user makes outside their personal space (throwing or dropping objects, or slamming doors, for example). Failing that, only Sense of the Unseen (Auspex 1) can detect the user.
  • Duration: One scene.
