Conscience is a Trait that allows the characters to evaluate their conduct with relation to what is 'right' and 'wrong.' A character's moral judgment with Conscience stems from her attitude and outlook. Conscience is what prevents a vampire from succumbing to the Beast, by defining the Beast's urges as unacceptable.
Conscience factors into the difficulty of many rolls to avoid committing a transgression. Additionally, Conscience determines whether or not a character loses Humanity by committing acts that do not uphold her moral code (see 'Degeneration'). A character with a high Conscience score feels remorse for transgressions, while a character with a lower Conscience may be a bit more callous or ethically lax.
Some vampires replace the Conscience Virtue with the Virtue of Conviction; unless your Storyteller tells you it's desirable to do this, assume Conscience is used.
