Chameleon's Shine

Related Stat: Agility Activation: Secondary Action, 1 point of Soul Dice Check: 2x Spirit

When this Ability is Activated, your Character becomes harder to see. They aren't truly invisible, but close. Rather than objectively making the Character harder to see, this Ability affects the minds of those around them so that the user of the Ability is less likely to be noticed, except perhaps out of the viewers peripheral vision.

To Activate Chameleon’s Shine, Characters spend a Secondary Action, spend 1 point of Soul, and roll a Dice Pool equal to twice their Spirit. For others to see a Character who is using this Ability, the Success Number is equal to the Character's number of Successes, plus their Ranks in Stealth. This applies to all forms of organic vision, even those with technological assistance like goggles or cybernetics, as the Ability directly affects the brain. However, electronic sensors that operate without an organic component, such as an alarm with a heat sensor trigger or a motion detector, will be unaffected by Chameleon’s Shine.

Characters may make a Perception Check as a Secondary Action each Round to keep track of a Shined Character if they have been seen. If they don't Succeed, they do not know the Character’s position and cannot attack.

Successes gained through the activation of this Ability are also added to your Character’s Physical Defense while they are Shined. If the Shined Character actively interferes with or attacks another Character in any way, they pop back into full visibility and the Character must re-Activate the Ability on a subsequent Round in order to use it again. The new Successes replace the previous result.

If Shined outside of an Encounter, the Character must spend 1 additional point of Soul per hour past the first to stay hidden. If knocked Unconscious, this Ability ends. This Ability also ends at the end of an Encounter unless the Character spends an additional point of Soul.
