This was just like "I want to look like the Prince *poof*" Can Tzimisce do that?

Not as far as I know. A Tzimisce could alter their form to look like the Prince, but not on the spur of the moment. To quote from the V:tM handbook [yes, I had to double-check]: A vampire with this power [level one Vicissitude] may alter her own bodily parameters [...] [s]uch changes are cosmetic and minor in scope [...]. She must physically mold the alteration, literally shaping her flesh into the desired result.

A perfect duplicate, including another person's voice, is a Perception + Body Crafts roll (difficulty 8) with 5 successes. In other words, it's very difficult.

On the other hand, Obfuscate - which Assamites have - can do that. Level three Obfuscate allows a vampire to 'project' the appearance of someone else; it's a psychological effect rather than the physical changing of form. The role for perfect duplicate is Manipulation + Performance (difficulty 7) with 4 successes. That said, you probably wouldn't want to activate Obfuscate right in front of the people you're trying to fool since it would be fairly obvious and a vampire with Auspex level 3 or higher could potentially see through this disguise.

So there you are. (I'd forgotten about that feature of Obfuscate until now, mostly because you can't use it in any of the V:tM computer games.)

*pffft* Tell that to the newly Embraced Toreador wandering around and sitting on park-benches XD

. . . weeeeell, I suppose it could be possible if they're extremely thin blooded. Do they actually use their Disciplines much?

Awww, but I want to take it seriously! It's the World of Darkness, after all. Full of . . . darkness. And death. And blood and amorality and horror and complex political machinations and general creepiness.

. . . I think I'll feel much better if I watch it in Malkavian mode. :p The world is insaaaaaaane!!
