You are not hidden — you are not noticed. The effect works on the observer’s mind rather than on light: attention slides off you, and the brain files whatever it saw or heard as nothing worth keeping. It has no effect on anything without a mind to reach.
Effects — against biological observers only
- +10 to 👤 Sneak Tests at any range — the effect dulls hearing as readily as sight, so closing the distance does not weaken it
- +5 Evasion, which applies even while 👥 Detected
- Detection Tests against you are rolled at Disadvantage
- Light level is ignored for concealment — you may attempt a Sneak Test even in a Bright tile
- Cover is not required to 🤫 Hide
Against robots, turrets, and cameras: no bonus of any kind, and no Disadvantage on their detection. Your ordinary 👤 Sneak skill still applies.
Footage of you is not protected. Anyone viewing a recording, or a live feed from outside your reach, sees you normally — but someone watching a screen while still near you does not. The effect is on the observer’s mind, not on the image.
Mirrors do not count — they carry light to a mind, and the mind is what the effect works on.
Limits
- You are still physically present: you leave tracks, block doorways, and ripple water
- You attack — the effect is lost for the rest of the battle
- You take damage — lost until you are fully healed
- You are coated in mud, dust, blood, smoke, or paint — suppressed until it is cleaned off
Once it is lost you are an ordinary creature under ordinary 👥 Stealth rules.
