Level 5:
Impostor’s guise
■ Prerequisite: Mask of a Thousand Faces
With some preparation the vampire can make themselves appear as a specific individual of any build and gender. The user must carefully study the subject, otherwise, the charade fails when meeting anyone with more than a casual familiarity with the person being mimicked.
■ Cost: One Rouse Check
■ Dice Pools: Wits + Obfuscate, Manipulation + Performance
■ System: The user must study the face to be copied for at least five minutes, from differ- entangles. The user requires another ten minutes of observation to mimic the subject’s voice and mannerisms. The user can only copy human appearance, not animal form. The Storyteller then makes a hidden test of Wits + Obfuscate (Dif- ficulty 4). A failure means that the resemblance is less than convincing, and anyone close to the person copied notices something amiss automatically. A win creates a convincing illusion, but the user must make a Manipulation + Performance roll to impersonate speech and mannerisms. A critical win creates a perfect illusion with no further roll necessary. Sense the Unseen (Auspex 1) can pierce the mask as per General Rules.
■ Duration: One scene
