GregLink/SolarPresence

As part of my ExMod related work, I'm always looking for ways for my characters to protect those around him, and control the flow of combat. I'm hoping these charms convey that theme.

Imposition of Proper Respect

Cost: 5m
Duration: Instant
Type: Reflexive
Minimum Presence: 3
Minimum Essence: 2
Prerequisites: Respect Commanding Attitude (A Performance Charm)

While some Exalts can garner respect in situations where such is normally granted, it requires a greater strength of personality to engender respect from those who have no reason to give it. When this charm is activated, the character immediately becomes the focus of attention in the room, and his actions carry grave weight. All characters contemplating (or having already declared) an attack against the character must oppose the character in a contested Valor+Essence roll. If the character wins, the opponent may not initiate an attack against the character for a number of rounds equal to the difference between the two rolls. This duration is reduced by one round each time the character strikes an ally of the loser, and the effect ends immediately end if the character declares an attack on the loser. This charm may only be affect those who have not made an attack roll against the character or her allies in this scene.

Visage of Fear and Contempt

Cost: 4m
Duration: Instant
Type: Reflexive
Minimum Presence: 4
Minimum Essence: 2
Prerequisites: Imposition of Proper Respect

Appearing at once frightening and yet an easy target, the Exalt seeks to draw the enmity of those he faces in effort to spare others.
