Drawing Upon the Mask

The animal traits of the Empusae make it difficult for them to remain inconspicuous when stalking a child they choose to kidnap, not to mention when seducing potential prey. This Devotion allows the vampire to shapeshift temporarily into another human form. Beyond its practical uses, it also plays a vital role in the religious ceremonies of Hecate’s daughters.

Cost: 1 Willpower point, 1 Vitae
Dice Pool: Drawing Upon the Mask allows the character only to shift into human forms. This power may be used to shift into a “generic” form without a roll. However, if the character is attempting to mimic a specific person, she must roll Wits + Composure to determine how closely she mirrors her chosen target. The effects of this Devotion last until the dawn, when a vampire’s ultimately static form returns to her “original” condition. Like Shape of the Beast, the transformation from one form to another requires a character’s action in a turn.
