Failing the roll means simply that the character cannot step through the shadow-realm, while a botch signifies the character has become trapped between shadows (which fiendish Storytellers should have a heyday with). Pulling another individual through the shadow requires a {@attribute Strength|V20} + {@ability Occult|V20} roll, with consequences for failure similar to failing by oneself."],"parent":"vampire/power/discipline/obtenebration","level":6,"_qa":{"flags":[],"parser":"section_entries","confidence":0.9,"extracted":"2026-10-15","job":"v20-disciplines"},"_links":{"self":"/api/v1/records/vampire/power/discipline_power/shadowstep","html":"/records/vampire/power/discipline_power/shadowstep","parent":"/api/v1/records/vampire/power/discipline/obtenebration","children":"/api/v1/records/vampire/power/discipline_power/shadowstep/children","sources":[{"abbr":"V20","page":199,"folio":199,"title":"Vampire: The Masquerade 20th Anniversary Edition"}]},"_db":{"title":"Shadowstep","props":[["Discipline","Obtenebration"],["Roll","Dexterity + Occult"]],"parent_id":"vampire/power/discipline/obtenebration","level":6,"category":null,"summary":"The vampire has such fine control over the darkness that he may become it briefly and reform himself from other darkness close by.
