Terrible False Words Technique
Cost: 6m; Mins: Linguistics 4, Essence 3; Type: Simple
Keywords: Combo-OK
Duration: One scene
Prerequisite Charms: Insidious Undertone Trick
The Essence of the underworld is poison to Creation. The presence of the Moonshadow Caste can be just as poisonous to meetings and conversations. Skilled diplomats find themselves making gaffes they never would while those with less talent outright insult and mock those they are trying to form compacts with. So the enemies of the Underworld fall to infighting when they should be coming together and the Neverborn laugh. The Abyssal makes a (Manipulation + Linguistics + Essence) roll while taking part in a conversation or larger event such as a party. Anyone with a Dodge MDV lower then the successes rolled finds themselves in danger of making faux pas of a dangerous sort. Subract the Abyssal's permanent Essence from all Social rolls not based around threats or intimidation. Anyone who would have a roll reduced to less then 0 by this effect is considered to have Botched their roll.
