This first level of Obfuscate allows the vampire to conceal small items, either in her grasp or on her person. If she is skilled enough, even a thorough search fails to turn up a hidden object.
Increasingly larger objects might be hidden if the Discipline user is particularly adept.
[...] Note that this power affects only the item in question. A character could not, for example,
conceal a mailbox and then hide behind it or
conceal a computer and hide a stake beneath it.
The mailbox or computer would indeed be concealed but the character or stake would not. [...]

Suggested Modifiers
Modifier Situation
+2 A tiny item, one easily concealed in the palm of a hand.
+1 An item that can be hidden in a pants pocket.
- An item that can be squeezed into a pants pocket or easily hidden in a jacket pocket.
-1 An item that can only barely be squeezed into a large jacket pocket.
-2 An item that can be concealed under a jacket without too obvious a bulge.
-3 An item too large to be naturally hidden, but still small enough to be carried easily.
[B] -3 The "item" is actually an abstract ideal or negative space, such as a hallway or portal to another room. If a closed door seals the portal, this is not subject to the penalty, as all the Kindred needs to do is hide the door, not the portal itself.[/B]
[B] -4 An item as large as the vampire herself, such as a motorcycle.
-5 An item bigger than the vampire herself, such as a car or large shipping crate, but smaller than five times the vampire's Size.[/B]
Apocryphal tales insist that sepulchers, tractor-trailers and even entire buildings have been hidden from the sight of others, but that's just not possible... is it?
