Mask of a Thousand Faces
Obfuscate ⢠Level 3
By shifting otherās perceptions and fogging their minds, you cause observers to see you differently. You may use this power to become a bland, indistinct individual, easily forgotten in a crowd, or you may choose to become a speciļ¬c type of person, such as a policeman or a waitress. With some study, you can even cause your physical form to reļ¬ect that of another individual you know, taking on her features, clothing, vocal sound, and other distinctive qualities. This power changes your clothing as well, altering it as you wish (within certain limits of believability). Note, however, that this power confers no ability to mystically know an individualās physical quirks or habits, vocal occlusions, memories, or social graces; only the details of a personās appearance are conferred.
Focus
Wits
You can dramatically change the appearance of your wardrobe and equipment. You are capable of feats such as making a cell phone look like a shotgun or causing a hoodie and jeans to appear as though you are wearing a ball gown.
System
Expend a simple action to wrap yourself in the veil of Obfuscate, changing all sensory aspects of your appearance: visual, as well as audible and olfactory. You may use Mask of a Thousand Faces to appear as a generic-looking and generally forgettable person, or to speciļ¬cally mimic the appearance of someone youāve studied.
Mask of a Thousand Faces can be used to mimic anything that generally matches your form. A vampire in human form could look like an old man, a child, or a soccer mom, but she cannot appear to be a horse. Similarly, a vampire who uses Shape of the Beast to transform into a wolf can use this power to appear as a large dog, but not as a man.
To believably mimic a speciļ¬c individualās appearance, you must have at least 2 dots of the Subterfuge skill, and you must study that individual from multiple angles, for at least ļ¬ve minutes learning her facial expressions, how she moves, and other distinctive qualities. You might be able to mimic someoneās face after studying a photograph, but your disguise will not fool people who have previously met your target, as you do not know enough to successfully replicate that person. To believably mimic another characterās voice, you must have at least 3 dots of the Subterfuge skill, and you must listen to her talk for at least ļ¬ve minutes as she uses a variety of words and phrases. Listening to a recording of that voice is not enough for a true replication; your disguised voice would not have the variety necessary to fool anyone who has ever spoken directly to your target.
Mask of a Thousand Faces can be used to change the appearance of your clothing and equipment in minor ways, so long as your equipment does not change signiļ¬cantly in size or shape. A dinner jacket could be made to appear as a windbreaker, or a ribbon around your neck could appear to be a fancy tie, but this power cannot make that dinner jacket look like a ļ¬oor-length trenchcoat, nor could it make a pistol look like a pencil. Mask of a Thousand Faces cannot be used to make an object invisible or partially invisible. You might make a hoodie and jeans look like a suit and slacks, but you cannot reduce them to appear as if you were wearing a bikini. Mask of a Thousand Faces can only affect objects that you are holding or that are on your person.
