Discipline Techniques

Auspex 2, Protean 4

With mastery of full-body transformation and awareness of halos, a vampire with this Discipline Technique may detect other shapechaners and discern the true form of any being she views.

System: The vampire must graze piercingly at her subject as if employing Soulsight (Auspex 2), while her player rolls Perception + Empathy (difficulty 8). The amount of information gleaned depends on the number of successes rolled. Simple success reveals whether the subject is capable of changing form, though not the extent or nature of such powers. Two successes determines whether the subject is presently in its true form. Three successes allows the vampire to perceive the subject's true form overlaid with its present shape, while four shows every shape the subject has ever assumed. Failure means the aura shows nothing of its malleability. A botch delivers false information. This power can only pierce disguises that involve shapechanging, not illusions or mind tricks.
