A Lunar's Stealth Charms are not perfect effects. Generally speaking, they may be seen through by making a Perception+Awareness roll againist the Lunar's Stealth+Manipulation. Both parties gain their Essence in automatic successus on this roll.

Againist Humans and other creatures who rely mainly on vision to percieve, the Lunar adds her Essence in dice to all Stealth rolls. The Lunar who wishes to become visible without ending this Charm may "fade in" somewhat, appearing as colored glass.

The Lunar draws his body back into the Essence patterns of wherever he resides. The Charm assembles an average apearance for the area in question and pushes it onto the Lunar. Like most Manipulation Charms, this is a literal physical change and not a magical effect. The Charm must be renewed when the Lunar travels to a different area.

Duration: Special 
Type: Special 
Min. Ability: 5

Unseen Shadow Army extends the effects of any of its prerequisites to cover other characters.

The Lunar can hide no more than his Manipulation worth of additional targets.
