In Plain Sight

2
You possess an ability to partially hide from sight.
Used by Fletcher Graves, Created by alpacafarms.

You already knew how to not draw attention to yourself. Now you fade into the background almost entirely. Most people don't notice you unless you want them to, their gaze just skips right over you. Like the blurred backdrop of a photo outside the camera's focus, people will miss what's right in front of them.

You gain the following benefits at all times.

You are obscured in one of the following manners. You may Spend an Action to change the way in which you're concealed.

  • Sight:You are partially obscured from being noticed by sight. All attempts to detect you using sight are rolled at a -3 dice penalty, and all attempts to detect you where sight would assist are rolled at -1 penalty. Anyone who detects you cannot determine any visual details about you beyond your general shape.

While this Effect is active, any Effect that would obscure you from other, additional senses fails automatically. If someone discovers you, this Effect will not help you hide from them for the next minute. Activating a targeted or obvious Effect, attacking, or being Injured ends the Effect. When the Effect ends, it is disabled for one minute.

You may turn this Effect on and off at will during its duration.

Possession of this Power grants the following Battle Scar: Disconcerting: Your unnatural presence puts people at unease. All social rolls are at +1 difficulty.

  • You may only switch this Effect on or off once per Round on your initiative as a Free Action.
