Effect

Add your Auspex rating to perception pools. Sudden overwhelming light, noise, or smell requires Wits + Resolve at Difficulty 3 or higher to dampen the senses; failure applies a three-die penalty to perception for the rest of the scene. Keeping the power active beyond a scene, especially amid intense stimulation, may require Willpower at the Storyteller's discretion.
