literally my reaction
this is great.
how do the aura/race related merits/flaws work tho, specifically the ones that hide one's aura or race-related characteristics (in case of discern)?
Any other Merits/Flaws I should script in?
... which means it won't work for Scent of the True Form or Discern (Judgement 1).

... She might notice that a hand laid on a desk leaves no heat impression, that a person's eyes don't dilate with changing light, or that a being simply doesn't breathe. Such information is usually enough to determine the approximate kind of creature a Judge faces. ...

Correct me if I'm wrong, afaik Discern (Judgement 1) works in such a way that it allows its user to notice the abnormalities of a supernatural (so not the aura or their scent, just some minor details and characteristics) and identify them among humans/mortals.Quote from: Discern 1...

In these cases, imo, merits like Blush of Health (VtM) and Master of the Masquerade (LotC, Toreador), etc. should be able to slip past Discern (Judgement 1) and vampires should still appear as mortals to the specific hunter(s).
Supposedly Prime can see the auras too, but not entirely sure.
is it supposed to show abominations in aura perc? I thought they show as normal pale like any vampire

You are... wrong. Discern is indeed sight based ability that allows the Hunter(Imbued) to notice the minor details that would pin-point a supernatural's race flat out. Blush of Health and Master of the Masquerade wouldn't really throw off Discern as it may alter the regular cold as ice flaw due to being a vampire to an EXTENT, they still are cold, they're still pale but only an amount less than the vampires who don't possess the blush of health merit. Discern can recognize that no body heat is emitting from the vampire, no breaths being drawn, etc... Hence Discern is unaffected.
Did you even see what Rudy said before making a unnecessary rant?
It does’t throw off Discern, it rather increases difficulty.
Subtracting successes from the Hunter's roll isn't such a big deal and gives the Merits a script purpose.
Actually, it shouldn't be subtracted imo due to the fact we can still see if they're breathing and can know if their body is emitting heat even if they use blush of health since I heard blush of health only makes my vampire appear "Healthy" and less "Pale" in comparison of other Vampires which makes it easier for them to fit in.Did you even see what Rudy said before making a unnecessary rant?

How on earth did you see what I wrote as some sort of rant? I suggest learning what "rant" even means before trying to throw the word about as if you have any idea the fuck you're talking about :D
My intention was to simply shine some light on a power which Apache didn't exactly understand very well.
Also, once again - you're wrong. It doesn't and shouldn't increase the difficulty nor decrease any successes on the Hunter's part. But it seems Rudy's got a different view on the power so successes might just be deducted from the Hunter's roll.Subtracting successes from the Hunter's roll isn't such a big deal and gives the Merits a script purpose.

which makes it easier for them to fit in.
see if they're breathing and can know if their body is emitting heat
I can script the Blush of Health Merit to negate 2 successes from Discern power.Maybe for permanent effect users? And for temporal effects maybe ppls can use the permanent code and then when it's time to disable the rpf the admin can take off that code as well
Mind shield is slightly difficult to script as it's effect can last for days and it isn't that easy to write a code that recognizes the amplitude and duration of the effect. But, it's scriptable, yes.
