Custom Combination Discipline: Obfuscate 4, Blood Apocrypha, Doubletalk
The Nosferatu are the masters of the hidden, of gathering secrets and above all, keeping them. Yet among vampire kind are a variety of powers intended to discern, coerce or steal the the truth behind thoughts and words. So the power to subvert and avoid the wiles of other kindred was developed, itself the greatest of secrets within the clan of such. The vampire speaks the truth, but those around them draw from it only what the vampire wants them to, which may have nothing at all to do with what they actually conveyed.
System: The user may expend a Blood and a Social Trait to activate this power for a scene. During the scene, any powers or effects that would determine or force the truth from the user will register that any and all statements, written or spoken, by the user are true. Aura Perception, Court of Hallowed Truth, Bone of Lies, and powers like them will detect no lies or intent to deceive from the user.
If the user also possesses the combination discipline I Know, or the ability Art of Memory, this combo also functions against powers that would pull information directly from their mind (for example, Telepathy), allowing the user to respond to mental questions or digging with whatever answer they like and it will seem to be truthful.
Note: Against Elder level and above powers used to discern the truth, this power is entirely at Storyteller discretion of whether it even works or not, or how effective it is.
