Discipline Techniques

Obfuscate 2, Presence 2

Invoking this power causes a single subject to forget the user's presence during a single scene or specific event. The Cainite merely invokes this power to vanish from the mind's eye and compels the subject to believe that she was never there at all. A few Nosferatu use this power to conceal their feeding, leaving victims drained and disquieted, but otherwise unaware of their violation.

System: This power only works on one subject at a time, but it may be used multiple times to alter the memories of multiple individuals. The player spends one blood point and rolls Manipulation + Subterfuge against a difficulty of the subject's Willpower. If the vampire succeeds, all memories of the vampire's presence during the event or time period vanish. Stronger-willed subjects may remember the event itself without the vampire, particularly if other related events took place. Some victims may even go as far as to rationalize false information into their altered memories in a vain attempt to make sense of the rift. Memories altered by this power are not erased, but suppressed, and may be found with applications of Auspex, Dominate and similar powers. The vampire using this power must leave the subject's vicinity within five minutes of activation, and must remain out of sensory range for a full hour. Otherwise, the power automatically fails.
