Imposter's Voice Technique

Cost: 2m; Mins: Larceny 3, Essence 2; Type: Simple
Keywords: Combo-OK
Duration: One scene
Prerequisite Charms: None

This Charm elevates common mimicry to supernatural levels. For the duration of a scene, the Dragon-Blood using this Charm can perfectly duplicate another person's voice or the sound of any animal, spirit or other creature, as well any other sound he hears. The character must have heard the voice or sound at least once, and his player must succeed on a (Perception + Larceny) roll for the character to properly remember all of the sound's nuances. The difficulty of the roll is determined by the nature of the sound to be duplicated. Duplicating the voice of a person is generally only difficulty 1, while mimicking an unusual animal might require two or three successes. Imitating the sound of a three-mouthed god who speaks only in music might have a difficulty of 5. This Charm will not duplicate any supernatural effects associated with the sound duplicated, such as an animal roar that invokes supernatural fear, and each different sound to be imitated requires a new use of the Charm. The Charm will automatically fool any animals trained to respond only to the voice of the person imitated, and it will automatically fool any person, including the closest associates of the person imitated, unless a listener is using a Charm or spell that improves hearing.

New Voice Technique

Wood Aspects have access to a Performance Charm called New Voice Technique, which is functionally identical to this one except that it requires Performance 3 instead of Larceny 3.
