Effect: People talk, and so do monsters. The tradition and taboo surrounding the Masquerade may obscure communication between Kindred, but they don’t block it completely. A childe of the information age, your character hears everything. Where others might listen to just their own conversations, a Listener hears all. A whisper here, a sly aside there, few words escape her ears. Even as she becomes adept at hearing, then joining private conversations, so too can she begin to sway impressions. After all, who better to offer an opinion than one who is privy to the most private of conversations?

Cacophony abilities are divided into the following levels of accessibility and influence. Each level includes the lower ones.

Prerequisite: A Cacophony Listener must have a total number of Skill dots in Politics and/or Socialize equal to the level being purchased. If she wishes to purchase the third dot, she must have three dots in either of those skills, or both when totaled.

Contents 1 Friends and Family (●●) 2 Talk About Town (●●●) 3 You Can Tell Me (●●●●) 4 Let Me Tell You What I Heard (●●●●●)

Friends and Family (●●)

At this level, the Listener is privy to Private Status given by, or about, anyone in her Clan and/or Covenant.

• All Private Status posted automatically includes the Listener if she belongs to the Clan or Covenant which is being polled.

Talk About Town (●●●)

At this level, the Listener is privy to Private Status given by, or about, anyone in the Domain in regards to their Domain standing.

• All Private Status posted automatically includes the Listener in regards to Domain (City) Status.

You Can Tell Me (●●●●)

At this level, the Listener is privy to Private Status given by, or about, anyone in any Clan or Covenant.

At this level, the Listener has mastered the art of being included, and is automatically included in all Private Status posts, regardless of social circle.

Let Me Tell You What I Heard (●●●●●)

At this level, the Listener is a virtuoso of the Cacophony and may exert her own influence on those social circles which she has become a a part of.

• The Listener may post Status for anyone, regardless of affiliation.
• She can talk about other Clan and Covenent members, and make her voice heard.

A number of Statuses may be posted in a month equal to her Presence

Her Status will be counted as equal to her Domain Status

Drawback: Just because you can talk about someone, doesn't mean that you should. The Listener's Domain Status is used in lieu of Clan or Covenant status when posting in 'foreign' circles. Should she abuse her influence, those same circles may retaliate by bringing her social standing in the Domain down, making her less influential.
