Integrity Charms

EPIC ZEAL OF CONVICTION


Cost: ; Mins: Integrity 4, Essence 2; Type: Permanent Keywords: Combo-OK Duration: Permanent Prerequisite Charms: None It is unfair to say that She Who Lives In Her Name is without Virtue. Like her fellow Yozi Adorjan, the Principle of Hierarchy merely understands the bigger picture. Infernal Exalts can purchase this Charm once per dot of Integrity (to a maximum of four times), with each purchase enhancing one Virtue rated 5+. The choice cant be altered, but the Charms effects recede if the Infernal lacks a sufficient Virtue rating for whatever reason. The Infernal regains one channel for each Virtue augmented by this Charm once per day at sunset. Additionally, whenever an Infernal would roll dice for a Virtue enhanced by a purchase of this Charm (whether as a pool by itself or bonus dice from a channel), the Charm converts these dice into automatic successes. This isnt optional, so characters must always spend Willpower to resist the urges of extreme Virtue. See below for how Virtues express themselves differently through this Charm. Lawgivers have a Charm Epic Zeal of (Virtue) that has identical effects, but requires Integrity 4 and any Integrity Excellency as a prerequisite. This is not the only form of extreme Virtue Solars of the First Age explored, only one transhumanist paradigm. Conviction: Inhuman extremes of Conviction do not wildly deviate from the ethics of mortal paragons except by degree. Therefore, the applicability of Conviction channels does not increase. However, whenever mental influence seeks to alter the emotional context of any of her Intimacies, lessen them outright or alter her beliefs or memory with an Illusion effect, the Exalt may spend one Willpower and one Conviction channel to perfectly dodge that influence. Doing so breaks any ongoing effects from the dodged influence, and this may be done later to throw off influence as an alternative to dodging the initial social attack or other source. In addition to the normal behavioral prohibitions on high Conviction, an Infernal with this Charm cant knowingly act against any of her Intimacies unless she has spent Willpower to act against her beliefs for a scene
INTEGRITY-PROTECTING PRANA Cost: 5m, 1wp; Mins: Integrity 1, Essence 1; Type: Reflexive (Step 2) Keywords: Combo-OK Duration: One day Prerequisite Charms: None The Suns Chosen define their own reality. This Charm protects the character from any Shaping effect that directly alters her mind, body, spirit or traits. This includes instantaneous Shaping effects and any new alterations caused by long-term Shaping effects. This Charm also protects the character from any undodgeable, unblockable Shaping attacks. Wyld energycannot create a serpent inside the characters stomach or turn her armor to lava, whether its manipulated by an enemy or its own random whims, because these effects inflict immediate damage and the characters DV is not applicable. This Charm does not protect against the miscellaneous dangers of the Wyld. If a Wyld effect creates a hundred-headed snake monster with burning chalcedony eyes that then eats the character, this is not directly altering the characters body through shaping. Nor is it an attack when a Wyld effect transforms the characters armor into harmless gossamer spider webssimply an undesirable effect.

RIGHTEOUS LION DEFENSE


Cost: ; Mins: Integrity 3, Essence 1; Type: Permanent Keywords: None Duration: Permanent Prerequisite Charms: None To the Solar Exalted, death and surrender are almost the same thing. This Charm helps a character hold fast to her fundamental Intimacies in the face of temptation. The player picks one of the characters Intimacies when purchasing this Charm. For the purposes of this Solar Charm, this loyalty must be to an idealnot to a person or a love, but sometimes to a relationship; not to a tribe or city, but sometimes to the nation she might build of them; not to a battle or a war, but to the extinction of one foe or the conquest of a great region. (Other Exalted have versions of this Charm that support different commitments.) This Charm allows the character to treat mental influence to betray or forsake that Intimacy as an unacceptable order (see p. 180). If the character voluntarily abandons that Intimacy or it becomes obsolete, this Charm ceases to function until, first, a new story begins and, second, the character chooses a new Intimacy to which the Charm applies. Players can also shift this Charm to a new Intimacy at any time by spending one experience point. Players can purchase this Charm a second time to reinforce one additional Intimacy. Any further loyalties require more specialized magic.

UNHESITATING DEDICATION
Cost: 4m, 1wp; Mins: Integrity 3, Essence 2; Type: Simple Keywords: Combo-OK, Stackable Duration: Indefinite Prerequisite Charms: Righteous Lion Defense The Solar dedicates himself to a new goal or ideal. If the Solar has not already established an Intimacy to this ideal, this Charm allows him to do so instantly. This Charm lets the Solar treat this Intimacy as an additional Motivation, with all the benefits and drawbacks thereof. Lawgivers can invoke this Charm repeatedly but they can benefit from only a number of additional Motivations equal to their Conviction.
