A vampire blocking a doorway cannot maintain Obfuscate against someone walking through it. The Discipline does have limits: the illusion fails if the observer cannot ignore the user or if the user backs the observer into a corner.
Obfuscate affects all five senses unless otherwise noted. Witnesses unconsciously move out of the way if the user blocks their path and rationalize their behavior if pressed. Observers see the vampire but their minds choose to ignore it. Obfuscate powers work through ambient, low-level mesmerism. Obfuscate experts may utilize the Discipline to lurk in the shadows while spying, change appearance in a crowd while under surveillance, or even spread the gift to a group of vampires looking to hide. For the Kindred practitioners of Obfuscate, the Discipline provides the perfect cover to get close to a victim, disguise themselves as harmless, and escape when the heat grows too much. So yeah, the guy’s name was “Maropis,” but weird thing: I checked out the mansion again a week later and it was completely empty and dusty, like it had been vacant for decades.įor any hunter, the ability to hide, move without being seen, and employ camouflage proves vital. And then he’s running away into all the shadows I suddenly notice around this place. He turns into this scaly little slime of a man. The butler turns around and he shrieks at me to touch nothing. I reach out to move one aside as I think my bag will catch on it. As he takes me through the house, I see servers, computers, cables all over the damn place. Thing is, I’ve never been a tech-head, but I decide to look anyway. He hands over an envelope of cash and asks if I want to see the gear in this place. The maid goes away and the butler emerges again. The butler wanders off, and someone else comes back. I’ve already received one bonus, but hell, what’s another? So in I go. I just hand over the box and ask for a signature, but he eyes me up and down. Looks normal, if a bit pale and out of a comic book. So the guy who answers the door is this butler-looking fellow. No, I never saw what was in the box, but judging from the setup at that place, I’m guessing it was something computery. I’m just a courier, and after I received word of this order that went through three companies to get to me – clearly someone trying to cover their tracks – and I was given a hush bonus, I said “fuck it, why not.” That’s how I ended up delivering that box to the mansion.
