One of the most overt Disciplines available to vampires, more or less all Protean powers can breach the Masquerade on their own. For this reason users of Protean often travel light.

Protean does not affect larger carried items, including backpacks, duffel and sports bags. Protean powers that change the shape or in other ways transform the body of the vampire also affect clothing, swallowed items, and other small (under a few grams) wearables. The power enables a vampire to become a beast, turn their limbs into weapons, or change their shape into clouds of mist to evade capture, glide through keyholes, or slip through cracks in a window. Practitioners of Protean employ the Discipline for its utility. The power to mutate, shift form, and become ever-deadlier predators is as natural to the vampire as it is to the lupine. Yet, Protean has flowed through the Blood for almost as long as the Kindred have existed. They consider it a mockery of their own nature, as undead beings become wolves or bats, bearing claws and gnashing fangs like one of their own. Werewolves despise vampires for their possession of this ability. The outraged pup swiped at the fetid water and stamped at the ground before being dragged away by her kin. The werewolves bayed as they closed on him, only to see the coward Gangrel give a mock salute as he shifted into the earth. He needed blood, but he needed to survive another night first. To take to the sky and try to outrace the sun, or to bed down for the night in the dirt and silt. Stopping for a second, he surveyed the night air and then the water beneath him. He was still miles from Copenhagen, and would never make it on foot. The Gangrel was no expert when it came to sensing the unseen, but he knew the pack was close. Meeting with lupines was never a safe proposition, but reacting the way he did, brandishing his claws and threatening to take out that werewolf pup’s eyes… He should have had better control over his anger. He couldn’t see them, but he could definitely hear their howls. Rudi waded through the shallow waters, looking over his shoulder to see if his pursuers were tracking him now he’d left the land and stopped leaving a trail.
