Carousing
Description: This is the ability to have a good time at a party or other social occasion, and to make sure others around you also have a good time. Normally, it involves a mixture of eating, drinking and good cheer. For vampires, however, things are a little different. Carousing also includes the ability to appear to eat and drink normally, without actually doing so. Using this Ability, one of the Kindred could attend an opening-night cast party without arousing any suspicion. On a successful roll of Manipulation + Carousing, no one notices that the character neither eats nor drinks. The difficulty of the roll depends on the social event: three or less for a house party with a buffet, seven or more for a sit- down dinner. This Ability can also be used to determine how entertaining and popular the character is at a party or event.
- Novice: You can plead a small appetite or recent illness.
- Practiced: Perhaps you're watching your diet.
- Competent: A charming dinner companion.
- Expert: You obviously enjoyed the food.
- Master: You even called for seconds.
