You gain the following benefits at all times.

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

  • Sight:You are completely obscured from sight. All attempts to detect you via sight fail. Attempts via other senses where sight would assist are rolled at -2 dice.

While this Effect is active, any Effect that would obscure you or your equipment specifically 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.

This Gift does not affect your clothes or equipment.

Possession of this Power grants the following Battle Scar: Terrifying Visage - You are off-putting at best. (All Social Rolls not reliant on fear are at +1 Difficulty. The Beatiful Asset is suppressed as long as this Battle Scar persists).

  • GMs should use their discretion when determining the exact impacts of this Effect, particularly in conjunction with environmental factors. Standing still against a complex background may render you impossible to detect, and footprints in snow may make it easy. A chance to detect you is not guaranteed.

Community Passive Gifts

You gain the following benefits as long as you have fed in the last 24 hours.

Any Injury you receive from a source other than fire, heat, or holy water heals quickly, reducing its Severity by one level each hour, starting once it becomes stabilized. You may also Exert your Mind and spend an Action to reduce the Severity of a single stabilized Injury by 1. Does not affect Injuries suffered as an activation cost for Effects.

Battle Scars caused by your Injuries are also healed when the Injuries that caused them regenerate.

Injuries you receive from fire, heat, or holy water are increased in Severity by 1.

  • The increase in Injury Severity stacks with any similar effects, such as the Vulnerable drawback on Inhuman Physiology.

When the Inspector went to obtain his new gift, the mystic said this gift of his legacy was a bit of a challenge. Something they used to help them move unseen, simple in theory, but complicated to master.

The magic was indeed tricky, and ever since he received it, the Inspector has been struggling to stay seen when he wants to be seen and stay unseen when he doesn't. The mystic said to take things he baby steps. Hopefully, he can manage even those.

You gain the following benefits at all times. You must actively and obviously be using detective jacket to gain the benefits of this Effect.

You and any clothes or equipment you are wearing are partially obscured from 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.

Entering Combat or being Injured will end the Effect. When the Effect ends, it is disabled for 1 hour.

  • GMs should use their discretion when determining the exact impacts of this Effect, particularly in conjunction with environmental factors. Standing still against a complex background may render you impossible to detect, and footprints in snow may make it easy. A chance to detect you is not guaranteed.

You gain the following benefits as long as you are in your powered-up state.

Any Injury you receive from a source other than water or cold based effects heals quickly, reducing its Severity by one level every 10 minutes. Any Injuries you receive while this Effect is active automatically count as a successful Proper Stabilization and do not deteriorate further. Any Battle Scars caused by such an Injury will heal with the Injury.

Once an Injury has been reduced in Severity by two levels, it no longer benefits from this effect and instead heals as normal.

Injuries you receive from water or cold based effects are increased in Severity by 1.

  • The increase in Injury Severity stacks with any similar effects, such as the Vulnerable drawback on Inhuman Physiology.

  • Poker Face: You reveal only what you want to reveal. It is impossible to determine whether or not you are lying. You may roll Charisma + Performance to resist any investigative Effect that targets you. If you successfully resist, you determine the info they get.

  • In rare cases, GMs may require you to make a roll to lie to particularly powerful beings.
