Oh gods, you’re good at lying! Falsehoods slide from your tongue like water off a vine leaf, and even the folks who know you well tend to be taken in when you start talking. You also lack the usual “tells” that betray a liar: your vital signs remain stable, your eyes don’t twitch, and your voice never falters. Unless someone is outright reading your mind (as in, using Mind-Sphere magick or some other paranormal power), you still often appear to be telling the truth; even then, the mind-reader might assume that you at least believe you’re telling the truth!

Story-wise, people usually believe what you say when you’re lying about small, casual things that are not immediately, obvi­ ously false. With regards to the dice, reduce the difficulty by -2 when you’re trying to lie about something important. Again, this Merit will not alter auras or change the thoughts in your head, although those folks who can’t actively monitor your soul will be inclined to give you the benefit of the doubt. (Suckers…)
