Veil of Blissful Ignorance

Obfuscate 7

Veil of Blissful Ignorance forcefully Obfuscates the target, making her all alone in the world as those around her ignore her. Most people find this a harrowing experience, cut off as they are from friends, family and even passers-by. Malkavians use this to drive their targets into madness. A Nosferatu might try to teach a humbling lesson with this power, while a Follower of Set can prey on the insecurities of someone cut off from society.

System: The character must touch the intended victim. The player spends a blood point and rolls Wits + Stealth, with a difficulty equal to the victim's Appearance + 3. Inhuman-looking targets (those with Appearance 0) are difficulty 8. Cappadocian victims receive an additional +1 difficulty. If the roll succeeds, the target is considered to be under the effects of Vanish from the Mind's Eye for a duration determined by the number of successes.

Successes	Duration
1 success	3 turns
2	1 minute (approximately 20 combat turns)
3	Fifteen minutes
4	1 hour
5+	Until sunrise

The victim does not necessarily know that she is affected by this power - she just notices that everyone is ignoring her. The Veil cannot be broken even by an attack, and the victim of such an attack will attribute it to either a nearby person or the acts of a demon. Curiously, this power has no effect upon someone who accepts it willingly.
