Nosferatu

The clan’s appearance cannot be fully solved by ordinary disguise or common concealment powers.

Overview

Animalism, Obfuscate, and Potence provide information gathering, concealment, and physical force. The bane keeps passing as human uncertain even with supernatural assistance. Cryptophilia gives useful secrets immediate value and can make exchanging information more complicated than simply reporting to the coterie.

Disciplines

Animalism

Control and communication involving animals and the Beast.

Obfuscate

Concealment that interferes with an observer’s recognition.

Potence

Physical force amplified by vitae.

Bane

Nosferatu Bane

The clan’s appearance cannot be fully solved by ordinary disguise or common concealment powers.

The character has the two-dot Repulsive Flaw and cannot improve the Looks Merit. Attempts to pass as human lose dice equal to Bane Severity. This applies even when using Mask of a Thousand Faces or Impostor’s Guise.

Compulsion

Cryptophilia

Actions that do not help uncover a secret lose 2 dice. Discovering a useful secret ends the compulsion. The vampire will not share the discovery except in exchange for a greater secret.
