Integrity

I have elected to restore the ‘Shaping’ keyword, as it seems sensible to do so when Charms refer to these effects.

Determination

Enduring Mental Toughness

• Cost: 5m, 1wp
• Type: Reflexive
• Duration: Indefinite

The Solar ignores any penalties to their Resolve.

Righteous Lion Defence

• Type: Permanent
• Mins: Integrity 4, Essence 2
• Prereqs: Enduring Mental Toughness

The Solar chooses one of their Defining Principles when taking this Charm. While it remains a Defining Principle, instill actions cannot decay it, and any action that violates it is considered unacceptable influence.

Watchful Eyes Of Heaven

• Type: Permanent
• Mins: Integrity 5, Essence 3
• Prereqs: Righteous Lion Defence

The Solar is automatically aware of any action taken, within the reach of their senses, that violates a Principle protected by Righteous Lion Defence. They are also made aware if someone is considering such an action, but not who it is or what they are intending to do.

Righteous Soul Judgement

• Type: Permanent
• Keywords: Once/scene
• Mins: Integrity 5, Essence 3
• Prereqs: Righteous Lion Defence

Once per scene, when the Solar’s Righteous Lion Defence is applied against a genuine threat to their Principles, they are filled with righteous fury. They may make a single free full Excellency with any ability, at any point in the scene, as long as it is in furtherance of their Principle.

Unhesitating Dedication

• Cost: 3m
• Type: Reflexive
• Mins: Integrity 5, Essence 3
• Prereqs: Righteous Lion Defence

Used when someone makes an instil action to decay one of the Solar’s Principles, the Solar may Clash the roll with an impassioned defence. If successful, the other person takes a -2 penalty to their Resolve for the remainder of the scene.

• Keywords: Once/story
• Mins: Integrity 5, Essence 3

The Solar may add five dice to any roll in service of a Principle protected by Righteous Lion Defence, ignoring the normal limit on dice added by Charms. Doing so makes the Principle, and its strength, obvious to all onlookers.

Divine Mantle

• Type: Permanent
• Mins: Integrity 5, Essence 4
• Prereqs: Eminent Paragon Technique

Incorruptibility

Destiny-Manifesting Method
