Custom Combination Discipline / Technique

Changing your identity is something that is rare for some, and as common as changing shoes for others. Needing to spend time and the risk involved to have a someone with Vicissitude change your face is dangerous; possessing the discipline even more so. What is a proper Camarilla member with a need to swap identities often to do?

This power is an answer to that question. Using Obfuscate for it's Masking powers and Serpentis for it's powers to modify the physical form, allows the user to swap between identities at will. Able to change one's identity or gender at a moment's notice is quite a useful skill for someone in a profession that would require it. Although these new shapes are not as "complete" as you might need, it is just "complete" enough to allow Obfuscate to finish the rest, and fill in holes. Those who might break your mask; depending on how far from your base appearance you go; might mistake you for Nosferatu.

Once this power is purchased, a list should be started of Alternate Forms that are known to the  character. You can never have more known forms than you have Permanent Mental Traits. Memorized forms are the physical look of the body only and may never grant any other benefits other than looking physically different.  Changing to a form on the list requires a Willpower and a Static Mental Challenge versus as many traits as the character has forms on the list, retest Meditation or Body Crafts. If successful the form will be assumed within 5 minutes as the body bends and redistributes weight. The character effectively becomes that persona, their body changing to match the Alternate Form as they have remembered it. A blood trait may be expended in addition to the Willpower, which would allow the form change to be within a round. Using this method of activation causes 3 levels of unsoakable lethal damage as the body rips and tears quickly to accommodate the shift.  

Adding a form to the list requires eight hours of meditation and a successful Static Mental challenge, difficulty should be the count of forms already known, retest Meditation. Failure means that memorizing the form wasn't successful and another night of meditation is required. Removing a form from this list requires the same challenge as adding a new form.  While not a true form power, it would still be weak against powers that require that you revert to your true form, such as Stone of the True form, but would not be detected by powers that attempt to see the forms that an individual can assume, such as See the Reflected Form.
