• Conciliation
This aspect of Tezcatl more than any other lends some credence to Nahualli beliefs. The user obliviates the effect of Predator’s Taint when encountering other Kindred. It does not mask the fact that the line member is a vampire. It merely prevents the usual urges of frenzy or Rötschreck.
Effect
Dramatic Failure: The vampire encountered is immune to further uses of Tezcatl by the character for the remainder of the night. A roll must be made normally for the Nahualli to avoid frenzy or Rötschreck as appropriate to the encounter.
Failure: The vampire encountered is unaffected and Predator’s Taint applies to both vampires normally.
Success: Neither the Nahualli nor the subject is affected by Predator’s Taint. Checks for frenzy are not required. Each is, however, aware of the other’s Kindred nature.
Exceptional Success: The effect occurs as a reflexive action. Another activity can be performed in the same turn in which the power is used.

Side/Secondary Effects
A Nahualli can use this power immediately upon encountering another Kindred — quickly enough to avoid triggering the effects of Predator’s Taint. The user must be aware of the other vampire to activate it. So, if the Nahualli is caught off guard in a surprise situation, it’s too late to use this power to avoid frenzy rolls. Not even an exceptional success allows use of the power when the Nahualli is caught completely off guard.
Since Predator’s Taint arises only when Kindred meet for the first time, subsequent uses of the power on the same vampire are probably unnecessary. If more than one foreign vampire is encountered when this power is used, successful activation avoids the effects of Predator’s Taint for the whole group.
A Willpower point and successful Stamina roll, as discussed above, cannot resist the effects of this power once contact between undead has been made. That is, once two vampires have encountered each other and the meeting is civil thanks to use of this power, the Kindred met cannot “reset” the meeting and invoke Predator’s Taint again.
