Animalism

Generally, Animalism may only be retested with the Animal Ken Ability.

Feral Whispers

Feral Whispers requires the user to be in speaking distance of the animal (i.e., in the same room) in order to communicate.

Beckoning

Beckoning does not usually require any kind of Challenge - only the expenditure of Social Traits.

Auspex

Retests for Auspex depend on the power in question. The Awareness Ability may not be used to retest Auspex powers.

Heightened Senses

Heightened Senses may be retested with the Investigation Ability.

If Heightened Senses is used to pierce Obfuscate, there must be an in-character reason for a character to have the power activated. A player walking into a room with his arms crossed over his chest is not good enough.

Aura Perception

Aura Perception may be retested with the Investigation Ability.

Aura Perception is always a Static Mental Challenge, the difficulty being the target's total Mental Traits. The target may only retest by Overbidding.

Failing an Aura Perception test results in the user not being able to focus on the target's aura.

If an Obfuscate power is pierced with Aura Perception, the user will see a "halo" around where the target should be which allows the Kindred to know that she has pierced an Obfuscation effect.

Aura Perception allows the user to ask the target one (1) question which she must answer truthfully. This does not automatically detect Diablerie veins. To check for Diablerie veins, the user must ask the target whether or not she has committed Diablerie.

The Spirit's Touch

The Spirit's Touch may be retested with the Empathy Ability only.

Telepathy

Telepathy, if being used to probe someone's mind, may be retested with the Investigation Ability only. If it is being used to communicate, Telepathy may be retested with the Occult Ability only.

Telepathy may be used in conjunction with other Mental Disciplines, such as Dominate, however, Telepathy will only remove the verbal requirement from those Disciplines.

Psychic Projection

Psychic Projection may be retested with the Occult Ability only.

Celerity

There is never a need to test Celerity, so it cannot, naturally, be retested.

Celerity will break the Masquerade at all speeds higher than Alacrity.

Alacrity

If there is more than one player using Alacrity to pre-empt an action, the person that has the highest level of Celerity acts first.

A surprise attack cannot be pre-empted.

Dementation

Dementation can only be retested with the Empathy Ability and can only be resisted with the Empathy Ability.

Dementation may only be used on targets within the user's line-of-sight that are in the same room.

Dominate

Dominate can only be retested with the Intimidation Ability and can only be resisted with the Intimidation Ability.

Forgetful Mind

Characters using this power always think it has succeeded regardless of the result.

Characters cannot rifle through a character's memories with this power - the user must approximately know what memories she is altering.

Fortitude

Fortitude may be retested with the Survival Ability.

Obfuscate

Obfuscate may only be retested with the Stealth Ability. The user may not use Willpower to retest against detection - one cannot "will" herself more hidden.

Mortal children, around preschool age, are not affected by the effects of Obfuscate. Children at this age have their own special perspective on the universe and have not accepted static reality as given - there's a reason why most kids see bogeymen in the dark.

Unseen Presence

Characters will move in ways to avoid a user of this power. Their unconscious minds will cause them to avoid the user and even remove obstacles from the user's path (such as holding doors open for them). The only exception to this is characters with the Heightened Senses power activated.

Potence

Potence does not generally require a test, therefore, it cannot be retested.

Use of Potence above Prowess constitutes a breach of the Masquerade.

Might

The Might retest can only be used in tests of strength. It may not be used in any kind of ranged attack.

When a character uses Might, she can no longer retest in the challenge. Might is always the last resort for retesting a character.

Presence

Presence can only be retested with the Leadership Ability and resisted with the Leadership Ability.

Awe

Awe can only be used per Social Challenge.

The user must spend a Social Trait to invoke the power.

Protean

Protean powers do not generally require a test, therefore, they cannot be retested.

Eyes of the Beast

The effect of this power need not result in red eyes - any color can be used, but the eyes must glow while this power is in effect.

Shape of the Beast

The user may use Shape of the Beast to assume the form of any animal he or she has seen - not just those of a wolf or bat.

Thaumaturgy

All Thaumaturgy paths may only be retested with the Occult Ability. They may also be resisted with the Occult Ability, however, other Abilities may be used depending on the specific Path.

Players wishing to develop new Paths or rituals should consult the Storyteller to work out the details.
