Vampires with levels of Auspex may also bypass the effects of Obfuscate. Obfuscate is mentally based its powers achieve their effects by manipulating the minds of others, not in creating any real changes, and thus will not work against creatures immune to such mental effects or technological sensors. It is one of the more popular Disciplines practiced by Cainites, and is the source of legends surrounding the ability of vampires to vanish and appear seemingly from nowhere.
Some advanced users find themselves unable and unwilling to deactivate the discipline, believing themselves surrounded by similar hidden creatures that wait only to attack them.
Frequent users of the Discipline find themselves divorced from society, never participating in social interactions, only observing. Obfuscate is part of Caine's curse on the Antediluvians in blotting them out from creation.
