|level=5|name=Maya|amalgam=Fortitude 3|prereq=|description=You can turn dream into reality, lending genuine verisimilitude to your imaginary creations. Your phantasms gain a tangible reality and are capable of interacting with the real world in concrete ways — even causing harm to your enemies, as you choose.|costfilename=2 Rouse Checks|dicepool=Composure + Obfuscate; Manipulation + Obfuscate vs. appropriate pool|system=The Ravnos is able to use Maya to either augment an existing illusion created by Mithya, or summon a new illusion into being; to summon an illusion, the caster must win a Composure + Obfuscate roll. The illusion summoned by Maya cannot be disbelieved, and is imbued with the power to fully interact with physical reality by drawing on the caster's Fortitude. An illusion given this power with Maya cannot interact with inanimate objects, but can cause lasting harm to mortals, supernaturals and animals. Illusions created with Maya (or upgraded from illusions already cast via Mithya) are unable to be disbelieved; the illusion has been given a form of limited substance, making it much more tangible in the sense of reality. Maya allows illusions to be used to attack and inflict real damage, either as a primary attacker (such as a beat cop firing a gun) or by secondary means (the Ravnos slashing with an illusionary sword). To attack with Maya, the user must be concentrating and actively directing the illusion; the user rolls a contest of Manipulation + Obfuscate vs. the target's appropriate pool (ieFile: a sword duel would resolve as Manipulation + Obfuscate vs. Dexterity + Melee). This is treated as a normal contest; if the target wins, the Ravnos takes the appropriate damage as per a contested attack (as a sort of 'psychic feedback'). Others may 'attack' the Maya illusion as if it were the Ravnos as well. Attacks made with Maya do Aggravated damage with a +2 damage modifier. The harmful effects of Maya are fleeting, as they are based on the substance of illusion. Damage caused by Maya can knock an individual unconscious or into torpor, but cannot kill. Once Maya's duration has ended, the harm it has inflicted fades after an additional 5 minutes; unconscious humans awaken, and torpid vampires rise. At Storyteller discretion, Maya can be used for other combat effects, such as staking. Any use of Maya in this manner must be discussed with the StorytellerV5_Ravnos_ElmerG.pdf|durationpagenum=5 minutes/1 full combat6
