Intimate Limit Methodology

Or: Push It To The Limit Approach

This is a system to make Limit Break more significant for Solars, but also more consistent to their nature.

Supernal Intimacies

Each Solar has a Supernal Intimacy, which defines them more than anything else. This is chosen from their Defining Intimacies during character creation (rather than a Limit Trigger and Virtue Flaw), and may be changed to another Defining Intimacy during play.

Gaining Limit

When the Solar acts against an Intimacy, they roll dice and add the successes to their Limit. The number of dice rolled depends on the Intimacy in question:

• Roll one dice for Major Intimacies.
• Roll two dice for Defining Intimacies.
• Roll four dice for their Supernal Intimacy.

This roll is only made once per scene per Intimacy.

Limit Break

When the Solar is in Limit Break:

• They may not act against their Major or Defining Intimacies unless there is an opposing Intimacy of the same strength or above that compels them to do so.
• Persuade attempts based on their Major or Defining Intimacies automatically succeed, and can only be resisted by a Decision Point.
• They may never act against their Supernal Intimacy.
• Persuade attempts based on their Supernal Intimacy automatically succeed, and cannot be resisted by Decision Points.

Ending Limit Break

The Solar can only end Limit Break by completing a Life-Changing task in service of the Intimacy that triggered the Limit Break, or their Supernal Intimacy. Doing so removes all Limit, resets their temporary Willpower to their permanent value, and restores all spent motes (that are not committed to Charms).
