Japheth's Cloaks

These garments were gifts to the characters from the Cappadocian Japheth and were granted shortly before the death of Cappadocius.

A character who wears a cloak can mentally sense wraiths, but only in the most limited sense. If there are wraiths nearby (no farther than 15 meters), a character can detect their presence if she has Auspex 2 (Aura Perception) and the player makes a successful Perception + Empathy roll (difficulty 8).

One success alerts a character to wraiths’ presence. Three successes indicate an approximate direction of the spirits and attest to the number of wraiths in the area. If a character receives four successes, she sees faint outlines of any spirits.

Characters who combine the use of Obfuscate with these cloaks may engage the Giovanni’s wraiths in a deadly game of “blind man’s bluff,” as each searches for the other until one party succeeds.
