Persona Reading Glance
Cost: 3 motes
Duration: Instant
Type: Reflexive
Minimum Socialize: 5
Minimum Essence: 3
Prerequisite Charms: Motive-Discerning Technique, Knowing the Soul's Price

By simply looking at his target for a fraction of a second, the Solar can determine the following things:
* What virtues, if any, the target has over 3, and the values of those virtues that are over three (if his target has a virtue of one or two, the Exalt can tell that he does, but not whether the virtue is one or two. The Exalt learns the value of any virtue over three).
* How many temporary Willpower points his target has.
If the target has no virtues, the power has now effect.

Emotionally Appealing Phrases
Cost: 5 motes, 1 Willpower
Duration: Instant
Type: Simple
Minimum Socialize: 5
Minimum Essence: 3
Prerequisite Charms: Persona Reading Glance

By using emotional appeal, the Solar using this charm exploits her target's Compassion. This Charm only works on targets that have a Compassion of three or more. The Solar makes a Socialize roll (usually combined with Charisma). Her target rolls his (the target's) Compassion plus her (the Exalt's) Essence. If the target succeeds against a difficulty of his (the target's) Essence, acts as though compelled by compassion (see page 130 of Exalted) to follow a single command of the Solar. The target can, as normal, spend a temporary Willpower point to resist this compulsion. This, however, adds to the target's limit, as normal.

Greater Purpose Rebuttal

Duration: Instant
Type: Simple

Minimum Essence: 3
Prerequisite Charms: Persona Reading Glance

Duration: Instant

Prerequisite Charms: Persona Reading Glance

This Charm functions identically to Emotionally Appealing Phrases, except that the Solar exploits her target's Valor.

How do these work insofar as Solars aren't really supposed to know about the Great Curse? -[[szilard]]

:Good point. Fixed. --PrimordialExalt

Why is essence on both sides? Why not Compassion x 2 or whatever? Because essence seems like an odd thing to add to what is essentially a virtue roll. Even better, how about the target rolls Compassion + (Charmuser's Essence) at diff of their own essence, since a success is 'bad' in that it forces them to do something. -- [[Darloth]]

:I clarified the text in Emotionally Appealing Phrases to get fix the confusing pronouns. Basically, your target rolls his Compassion (or whatever) plus your Essence, illustrating that the more Essence you have, the more difficult it is for him to resist, against a difficulty equal to his Essence, showing that higher essence beings can resist this charm more easily. --PrimordialExalt

:Ah, yeah. Sorry, I obviously suggested what you already had. (oops) Fairly easy to see now, although I bet it'll still confuse some people until they re-read it. Thanks for the clarification. -- [[Darloth]]
