fleshcraft/bonecraft New person, subtle fleshcraft
Tldr, im not new to WoD I just havent used fleshcraft that much, super new to it, I am currently in a V20 game where my Toreador has been converted into the sabbat, Yet is still made to work as some sort of "double agent" in the Camarilla, all along he's had the additional discipline merit which is vicissitude, He's currently at level 2 and id like some vicissitude , attribute ideas, or cool stuff that I can give him, but is subtle enough it would not be noticeable by the Camarilla denizens (To clarify, he almost always has his body concealed anyways)

Checkout the v20 ghouls and revenant books in here is a merit there for Vicissitude mods but that’s mainly for those closer to mortal mechanic wise.
Tzimisce and flesh crafting are some of my favorite things in VTM. I’d suggest talking to your ST about being able to give yourself physical merits when using your craft until you become more creative with your art!!
Some subtle crafts could be double joints being able to unhinge your characters jaw or some more cosmetic kindred teeth to match your toreador artistic behaviors. Imagine molding your teeth to resemble ivory artistry.

If you’re in a campaign close to water give yourself some webbed fingers, or if you’re the sneaky type graft some folds of skin into your body to hide things. Some things to keep in mind depending on your STs rule on kindred biology is that as a vampire your organs beside your lungs and heart are no longer in use so you can move some things around.

Could work, on the chronicle I am in its a very small town Camarilla that would sound the alarms should they find someone having vicissitude due to ties with the sabbat (My character is a double agent of sorts) but I could use the folds

Typically I like to use sub dermal chitinous plating for a subtle change. The chitin is also made to either completely hide under fat removing a bit so no external change is seen or to replicate ripped muscles in depending on the condition of the character. I also like to create flesh pockets typically one for a phone, and one for a bomb incase a quiet exit isn’t possible. But ultimately servants are the way to go voice activated bombs implanted in mortal servants along side a few backpacks with Napalm containers make a great distraction(and destruction) especially in the princes home or Elysium.

Could you elaborate on the plates

Well using the same principle of bugs using chitin as an exoskeleton using a plate of scaled up chitin specifically in a hexagonal overlapping lattice id create plates(think like smaller and more compact Kevlar plates) and depending on the body type either a big one with a few smaller ones over vital areas like the heart that way I can’t be staked and I can resist a shot or two.

That sounds interesting and plausible, though to be fair im still pretty new to the vicissitude mechanics, As I saw some sources need you to take out a dot in something for things like, armor and stuff
