You can interact with your environment as a completely different person or change your entire disguise at a moment’s notice by simply Rousing your Blood.
Cost: One Rouse check
System: Spend a simple action and make a Rouse check to wrap yourself in the veil of Obfuscate, changing all sensory aspects of your appearance: visual, tactile, even audible and olfactory. You may use Mask of a Thousand Faces to appear as a generic-looking and generally forgettable person, or to specifically mimic the appearance of someone you have studied.
Mask of a Thousand Faces can be used to mimic anything that generally matches your form. A vampire in human form could look like an old man, a child, or a soccer mom, but she cannot appear to be a horse. Similarly, a vampire who uses Shape of the Beast to transform into a wolf can use this power to appear as a large dog, but not as a man.
To believably mimic a specific individual’s appearance, you must have at least two dots of the Subterfuge Skill. You must also study that individual from multiple angles, for at least five minutes, learning her facial expressions, how she moves, and other distinctive qualities. You might be able to mimic someone’s face after studying a photograph, but your disguise will not fool people who have previously met your target, as you do not know enough to successfully replicate that person. To believably mimic another character’s voice, you must have at least three dots of the Subterfuge Skill, and you must listen to her talk for at least five minutes as she uses a variety of words and phrases. Listening to a recording of that voice is not enough for a true replication; your disguised voice would not have the variety necessary to fool anyone who has ever spoken directly to your target.
Mask of a Thousand Faces can be used to change the appearance of your clothing and equipment in minor ways, so long as your equipment does not change significantly in size or shape. A dinner jacket could be made to appear as a windbreaker, or a ribbon around your neck could appear to be a fancy tie, but this power cannot make a dinner jacket look like a floor-length trench coat, nor could it make a pistol look like a pencil. Mask of a Thousand Faces cannot be used to make an object invisible or partially invisible. You might make a hoodie and jeans look like a suit and slacks, but you cannot reduce them to appear as if you were wearing a bikini. Mask of a Thousand Faces can only affect objects that you are holding or that are on your person.
