Subterfuge

DESCRIPTION

Lies, bluffs, and subtle games of manipulation are the purview of those who have studied the art of Subterfuge. An individual trained in this skill is capable of hiding her intentions and redirecting the attention of others in order to deceive them. You may be at your best with feats of “magical” misdirection, or you may be a con artist, making money playing three-card-Monte on the streets. You may use phraseology to confuse your listener, or you might be the sort to utilize small feats of hypnotism to confuse and distract. Like the old hucksters used to say, there’s a sucker born every minute.

SYSTEM

Once per game, if your character is caught using a supernatural power, it instead seems as though another character of your choosing within three steps of you used the power, not you. This does not apply to powers that have an obvious source, such as Flame Bolt or Dread Gaze.
