• Night Sight
A student of Obtenebration first learns how to see in
total darkness. Vampires innately see better than mortals do but Night Sight enables Kindred to see without
any light at all. The fainter any ambient light, the stranger
the world looks through Night Sight. Under moonlight
or equivalent illumination, a user can see as well as he
can in a well-lit room with normal color vision. By starlight, colors fade to leave shades of silver and gray. In
complete darkness, a vampire sees different shades of
black — ebony, jet, sable and hundreds more than mortal language can name, each with its own tint and texture. While using Night Sight, a Kindred’s pupils expand until her eyes are completely black.
Cost: 1 Vitae
Dice Pool: This power requires no roll
Action: Reflexive
The player simply activates the power and explains to the
Storyteller what his character does. The vampire suffers no
penalties for acting
in darkness. He can
still be blinded by
other means, though.
Night Sight does not
counteract visual impairment caused by tear
gas or the opacity of a dense fog, for
example. Nor does it help when a
vampire’s eyes have been removed! The
effect lasts for the remainder of a scene.
When in complete darkness, a vampire using Night
Sight gains one additional minor power: She can see invisible and incorporeal entities such as unmanifested ghosts
(World of Darkness Rulebook, p. 208). The slightest
hint of light blocks this application of Night Sight.
•• Shadow Play
The user can manipulate shadows that already exist.
They can grow, shrink, fade or intensify, change shape
or even detach form the objects that cast them and
move about. In dark surroundings, the vampire can create whatever shadowy images she wants. All these images remain shadows, though. A person who can see
clearly could never mistake figures created through
Shadow Play for anything solid or real. (Although, seeing one’s own shadow reach out to strangle the shadow
of another person could prove quite disturbing.)
Cost: 1 Vitae
Dice Pool: Wits + Intimidation + Obtenebration
Action: Instant
Roll Results
Dramatic Failure: The character fails to manipulate
a shadow and cannot use this power again until the
next sunset.
Failure: The character cannot manipulate shadows
with this attempt, but a successive attempt may be made
if another Vitae is spent.
Success: The character can alter shadows cast in a 16-
square-yard area, but he may locate that area anywhere
within line of sight. The zone of Shadow Play can itself be
moved as a reflexive action, if the user so desires.
Exceptional Success: As per a normal success, except
the area affected can be up to 25 square yards in size.
Shadows can be manipulated for the remainder of the
scene, their activities or behavior being modified by the
user as a reflexive action. No more than one use of the
power may be active at a time. Thus, shadows in two
separate areas cannot be affected simultaneously. The
user may leave shadows alone whenever he desires. They
return to normal if he is knocked unconscious, sent into
torpor, destroyed, if he leaves them alone or if he loses
direct line of sight to the area of effect.
