Auspex ••, Protean ••••
Once the coterie that developed Torpid Awareness had mingled the use of Auspex and Protean, the coterie decided to try other combinations using the Gangrel member’s more powerful abilities. What the members came up with could be quite useful in a domain with Lupine problems.
Effect
This power reveals any shapeshifting ability possessed by creatures the user views. The alternate forms appear as an alteration of the shape of the creature’s aura. For those who can transform into multiple other shapes, this makes it difficult to discern what each one is. For each alternate shape beyond the first the subject may assume, the user of this power suffers a –1 penalty to his roll.
Side/Secondary Effects
Dramatic Failure: The character draws the wrong conclusion. Sometimes this is obvious, as when a Kindred’s aura appears to indicate all the forms of a Lupine. Sometimes it’s not obvious, such as when a human-form Lupine’s aura appears normal, or when a normal mortal appears to have Lupine forms.
Failure: The subject’s aura appears normal, no matter what the truth is. However, since no distortion of the aura occurs at all, the user can tell that the power has failed to activate.
Success: For each success rolled, one alternate form can be perceived for certain. So if four successes are rolled, then all the forms of a Lupine could be viewed in the aura.
Exceptional Success: The insight of this power is gained with just a glance; the action is reflexive instead of instant.
