 Stubborn Boar Defense 
Cost: - Mins: Intimidation 2, Essence 1 Type: permenant 
Keywords: none 
Duration: permanent Prerequisites: none

The Solars are Exalted of the Unconquered Sun and cannot let themselves be conquered by mere 
intimidation. This charm permanently enhances the Solar so that they add essence to their 
willpower for determining the number of successes needed by their opponents in an intimidation 
contest, no matter what side of the contest the Solar is on. 

 Menacing Posture Meditation 
Cost: 1m Mins: Intimidation 2, Essence 1 Type: Supplemental 
Keywords: Combo-OK 
Duration: instant Prerequisites: any Intimidation Excellency

With nothing but Body Language and Expression, a Solar can so focus someone on them that they 
ignore any positive aspect of their situation and act as if the solar had an Edge. The solar 
loses all penalties in an intimidation contest and gains an equipment bonus equal to their 
Essence score that does not count against their total. 

 Outpouring Coercion Technique 
Cost: 1m Mins: Intimidation 3, Essence 1 Type: Supplemental 
Keywords: Combo-OK, supernatural 
Duration: one interrogation Prerequisites: Menacing Posture Meditation

The Lawgivers leave nothing unilluminated by the Unconquered Sun. When this power is activated 
and the mote committed through the whole interrogation than the victim can hold back nothing 
from their Solar Interrogator. Any fact they try to hide costs one point of willpower, anything 
they don't or can't spend a willpower to protect is up for grabs. Since any individual fact has 
facts surrounding it, like how they learned it or who it effects, than even protected information 
stands partially revealed, although such things are covered by stunts.

 Lightning Browbeating Stance 
Cost: 1m Mins: Intimidation 3, Essence 2 Type: Supplemental 
Keywords: Combo-OK 
Duration: one interrogation Prerequisites: Menacing Posture Meditation

The Chosen of the Sun cannot wait for confessions when they have enemies to smite and so they 
learned to wring them out all the faster. This charm, when activated at the beginning of an 
interrogation and committed until the end, speeds things up. The rolls occur once every combat 
turn, instead of once an hour. This lets the solar reach the end result, whatever it might be 
very quickly.

 Enemy Castigating Solar Judgement 
Cost: 1m Mins: Intimidation 1, Essence 2 Type: Supplemental 
Keywords: Combo-OK, Holy, Obvious 
Duration: instant Prerequisites: none

The Solar Ignites her spirit with the Essence of the Unconquered Sun. This charm can enhance 
a physical attack which makes it do Aggravated, Holy damage to creatures of Darkness. This charm 
can enhance a Social Roll, which makes it Holy and prevents creatures of darkness and reduces any 
resistance, passive or rolled, by half rounded up against creatures of darkness. This charm can 
explicitly enhance other abilities.

== Aura Charms ==

 Majestic Radiant Presence 
Cost: 2m Mins: Intimidation 4, Essence 2 Type: Reflexive 
Keywords: Obvious 
Duration: one scene Prerequisites: any Intimidation Excellency

The Solar burns with the Incandescent radiance of the Unconquered Sun. This Charm intimidates 
others into being unable to make a Physical or social attack on the Solar unless they succeed 
on a reflexive resistance roll. When this charm is purchased the solar chooses the method of 
resistance. They can roll composure, resolve, or Resolve + Composure - Exalt's Essence score.

 Terrifying Apparition of Glory 
Cost: 1m Mins: Intimidation 5, Essence 2 Type: Supplemental 
Keywords: Combo-OK 
Duration: instant Prerequisites: Majestic Radiant Presence

The Solar burns with impossible Glory. This charm renders any social roll it supplements to be 
impossible to ignore. The target can't stop their ears or tune you out, they must listen to what 
the Solar says and way it fairly. This charm can explicitly be used to enhance any social ability.

 Resolve Breaking Intent 
Cost: 1m Mins: Intimidation 4, Essence 2 Type: Supplemental 
Keywords: Combo-OK 
Duration: instant Prerequisites: Majestic Radiant Presence

The enemies of the Solar Exalted say they can feel their intent to kill them as a palpable presence. 
Any one who has a Resolve + Essence(or similar trait) score less than the Solar's Intimidation score 
feels the power and intent to kill from the Solar so strongly that they can't bring themselves to 
attack the Solar without spending a willpower point for every attack. Supernatural beings, like 
exalted can attack with a stunt or charm empowered attack as well, but they won't be able to use 
such for defense than. If they tie or beat the Intimidation score, they feel the killing intent but 
it does not keep them from attacking. An intimidation excellency can be used to double the score for 
one turn, but would have to be reactivated every turn to keep it up.

== Stare Down Charms ==

 Dauntless Solar Gaze 
Cost: 1m Mins: Intimidation 3, Essence 1 Type: Supplemental 
Keywords: Combo-OK 
Duration: instant Prerequisites: none

The piercing eyes of the Lawgiver can turn lesser men and make them weak. This charm enhances a 
stare down attempt so that the whole roll boils down to a Presence + Intimidation + Essence roll 
from the Solar versus presence + Intimidation or Composure + Essence on the victim (former if they 
want to win the roll or later if they are avoiding it, by closing eyes or averting gaze.) 

This charm can be enhanced by purchasing extra effects that can occur if the Stare Down is successful. 
Only one such effect can be activated at a time and each one costs 4 xp to purchase.

Will Piercing Eyes: This effect costs one mote when stare down succeeds, it is used in combat to 
prevent an enemy from attacking for a number of turns equal to Solar's essence. They can still 
defend, but can't move or attack anything. 

Resolve Shattering Glance: This effect costs one mote when the stare down succeeds, it must be used 
before combat starts, or at least before any attacks have occurred. For the rest of the scene the victim 
suffers an extra one die penalty on attacks against the Solar. 

Inquisitorial Stare: When a Solar succeeds at a stare down and spends one mote to activate this 
effect they may ask one simple question of the target and the target must answer or spend a willpower point 
to resist. 

Dominating Glower: This effect costs one mote when a stare down succeeds with this effect they may 
make one demand of the target, this must be something simple and not dangerous, usually it is used to 
command someone get out of the Lawgivers way. If timing is important the command holds a number of turns 
equal to the Solar's Intimidation Score.
