Potence •••

  • Amalgam: Obfuscate 1

Some Nosferatu specialize in small, easy-to-overlook applications of Potence, allowing them to break down a door by leaning against it or create a noisy distraction with a light tap. In combination with other Obfuscate powers, this can even be used to attack someone while onlookers see nothing amiss.

  • Cost: One Rouse Check
  • Dice Pool:
  • System: Whenever the vampire attempts a feat of strength or makes an attribute roll involving their Strength, they can choose to make the action subtle, channelling their strength through nothing more than a light touch. Any effects of the action, such as a door collapsing into splinters, can be noticed as usual unless the vampire has a way to conceal them. This concealment can be applied to other Potence powers at the ST's discretion; triggering an Earthshock with a simple foot-tap is plausible, but a fifteen-meter Soaring Leap is difficult to disguise as anything else.

If the vampire is concealed by another Obfuscate power, actions obscured by Subtle Touch do not automatically reveal them. While the target of an attack will always know what happened, bystanders will fail to notice unless the victim points it out, which prompts a roll as per the normal Obfuscate characteristics.

  • Duration: One action
