Example-Making Prana
Cost: 5 motes + 1 mote per die\\ Duration: Scene\\ Type: Simple\\ Minimum Ability: Martial Arts 3, Presence 3\\ Minimum Essence: 2\\ Prerequisites: /ImperiouslyRaisedEyebrowForm
...and the third is, you must lead by example...
Despite the fear that acolytes of Imperiously Raised Eyebrow cultivate in their opponents, sometimes an example is necessary to drive home just how unpleasant their anger can be.
If, while enhanced by this charm, you knock out or kill someone, you may immediately make a reflexive Charisma + Presence roll against anyone who saw you do it. You may buy extra dice for this roll up to the normal maximum. You may target this intimidation effect against as many people as you like, but the successes you roll must be divided as equally as possible between them.
If you score more successes than four times their Valour, then the target is so impressed and intimidated by your power and authority that they cave in instantly. Depending on their personality, they may retreat, run screaming, or prostrate themselves on the floor and beg for mercy. Generally speaking, they will do almost anything you command them to. They may spend a Willpower point to overcome the effects, but this only lasts for a single turn.
If you score more successes than twice their Valour, then the target is frightened by your example, but not beyond reason. They will act rationally to avoid becoming the next example, but that is all.
Fewer successes indicate a terrible act of brutality, but nothing more.
Note that the rolls involved in this charm are subject to circumstancial modification depending on who you're trying to intimidate - people with low Compassion are harder to shock this way, for example.
