Custom Combination Discipline / Technique

Combining the powers of Spirit's Touch, and Shape of the Beast, a Gangrel with this power can literally sniff out the trail of a target.  The Gangrel must smell a track, or item from their target, and the leftover oils, skin cells, blood, etc. are absorbed into the nasal cavity of the character.

The Gangrel then makes a mental test against the target's physical traits.  If successful, the character then can follow the track of the target.  Supernatural creatures are actually easier to track, as they are rarer, and leave more of a trace.  It is important to note that this power is dependent upon the sense of smell.

The Gangrel gets a bonus to track corporeal, living supernatural creatures (Changelings, Changing Breeds) of +2.  Vampires being dead, and not leaving oils or much to trace, are tracked with a +1 bonus.  Wraiths can also be tracked, but only those that have left a physical manifestation (+1).

If an individual was obfuscated, it can throw off the track, and the Gangrel must make a standard Auspex v. Obfuscate challenge to keep the trail.  This power can also be fooled by Chimerstry.

The difficulty to find the target goes up after more time has passed. After a week, the difficulty increases by +1.  2 to 8 weeks, and it increases by an additional +1, after 3-6 months it is +3, and within 6-12 months the difficulty goes up to +4.  Beyond a year, and the trail is impossible to find.

The power may be foiled/spoiled by measures taken to literally cover tracks (vinegar, anise, etc.).  Said bonus to the target could gain is up to the storyteller.  Conversely, the tracker could get bonuses if the prey is particularly 'foul' or strong smelling (various flaws).

This power can only track one target at a time.
