Masquerade

Secondary Abilities

Description: This Talent cannot be taken during character generation, and is available only to vampires. Masquerade reflects how skilled a character is at appearing to be mortal: feigning respiration, creating a heartbeat, producing pink skin (by bringing blood to the surface), sneezing, masking vampiric tendencies, et al. Masquerade may be paired with a Social Attribute to determine whether the character successfully passes as a mortal among mortals.

• Novice: You might succeed - in ideal circumstances.

• • Practiced: You are able to pass casual inspection.

• • • Competent: You are undetectable under most normal circumstances.

• • • • Expert: You may succeed even under duress.

• • • • • Master: Even a witch-hunter would be fooled.
