The centuries of blood starvation and frequent periods of torpor your bloodline has endured has created anomalies in your blood potency. As a result, you may purchase a single Obfuscate technique or elder power that would otherwise be restricted by your generation. For example, a Neonate with this merit is able to purchase a single Obfuscate elder power; Pretender Elders may purchase a second Obfuscate elder power; and Master Elders and Luminary Elders may purchase a technique that requires Obfuscate. Elder powers purchased with this merit cost 20 XP, and techniques cost 12 XP. Any additional discipline requirements for techniques must still be met. Similarly, a character must possess the necessary precursors in order to purchase Obfuscate elder powers. This merit cannot be used to purchase an Obfuscate luminary power.
