You can now extend the powers of your Obfuscation to others: as long as you remain disguised, your disguise extends to each of them and makes a complicated job significantly easier.
Cost: One Rouse check in addition to the cost of the power being extended
System: When you use a standard action to activate Silence of Death, Unseen Passage, Mask of a Thousand Faces, or Vanish from the Mind’s Eye, you may choose to extend the effects of those powers to nearby allies. By using Cloak the Gathering, you may extend one of the Obfuscate powers above to a number of willing individuals, equal to your number of dots in the Stealth Skill (minimum one).
Individuals feel a sudden, distinct chill when Obfuscate is used in an attempt to Cloak them, but the targets have no mystical ability to know who is trying to use the power, nor to what extent. If any of your targets do not wish to be affected by Obfuscate, the power automatically fails to work on that individual. The power continues to work normally on other willing targets. If a character affected by your Obfuscate becomes unwilling at any point, the Obfuscate ends immediately for that individual.
A character can always see through her own uses of Obfuscate, regardless of whom she is affecting. Other characters concealed by a single use of Cloak the Gathering can see each other normally. If one of your allies breaks her Obfuscate, or moves more than 20 steps away from you, the power ceases to function for her but remains active for you and all other characters covered by this use of Cloak the Gathering. If you break the Obfuscate, however, your Cloak the Gathering ceases to function for all.
When this power is used to augment Vanish from the Mind’s Eye, you only need to test once per observer, as though you had simply vanished yourself. If you are successful, you Obfuscate the entire group.
You can use Cloak the Gathering to extend more than one Obfuscate power, but you cannot extend the same power to more than one group at a time. For example, you might make five people invisible and make five people look like various circus performers, but you cannot use this power multiple times to make 10 or 15 people invisible. Cloak the Gathering can only be used on sentient creatures and confers no ability to conceal animals.
Duration: As per the power used
