Custom Combination Discipline / Technique

Along with Circumspect Revelation, certain aspects of Black Hand membership often need concealment when interacting with other Cainites - and most especially with other sects. Of these, concealing one's Path of Enlightenment - and the beast within - is highly advised. This power allows to not merely conceal one's nature but to actually provide the outward expression of another path. By default, this power gives the impression that the cainite is on Humanity but withe the appropriate lores (Lore: Paths of Enlightenment 3+), the cainite could pass as if on another path.

 

Mechanics: Spend 1 temporary Willpower and make a static Social challenge against three times your current path rating (3-15), retest Subterfuge. On success, present the outward and inward appearance of the preferred path at the same level as your actual path (Caine 3 could appear as Feral Heart 3, etc). For instance if posing on Humanity, you could pass amongst kine with little effect. On examination of those with the proper abilities, you present as if on the path in question. Any attempt to break this requires digging through Telepathy to determine your true self. If used to present Humanity, this power does NOT replicate the Mortal Skin combo - you still have to figure out how to breathe, heartbeat, eat food, etc.

 

Note: Although you 'present' as if on a seperate path, you maintain your actual hierarchy of sins. Violating those sins results in the requisite challenges and possible loss.
