Discipline Techniques

Dominate 3, Obfuscate 3

Those Cainites who master this technique need never worry about failing to exhale a breath of steam in the middle of winter or putting chills through a mortal's body by laying an icy cold hand upon him. Though she is not naturally warm to the touch or flushed with life, for example, mortals perceive her to be.

System: the player spends one Willpower point to activate this power; it then remains active for the remainder of the night unless the character wills it to terminate (reactivating it then cost another Willpower point). Mortals simply see all the normal signs of life on the Cainite; though she has no pulse a mortal touching her wrist will feel one; and kine see on her the healthy blush of living flesh. This power does not conceal obviously unnatural features (such as a Tzimisce's zulo shape or skin harder than granite) and does not disguise the individual as anyone else; it just makes her look and feel like a perfectly human version of herself (or another, if she chooses to use Obfuscate to appear as someone else). Further, this technique cannot conceal damage to the body (thus, if the Cainite is walking around with a severed arm and six crossbow bolts protruding from her stomach, this power will not really do much for her).
