Touch of Chemistry Best Forgotten</b>

<b>Cost: 6 motes\\
Duration: Instant\\
Type: Reflexive\\
Minimum Science: 4\\
Minimum Essence: 2\\
Prerequisites:  None

Chemistry has brought many cures and miracles of science to the world, but with them it has brought many new weapons of war, some of the most fearsome of the new ones being toxins that can cause horrible effects beyond anything seen before. The Abyssal must touch their target to use this Charm. Then their player makes an Intellegence + Science roll at a difficulty equal to the difficulty to resist the toxin, adding in the Abyssal's Permanent Essence as automatic successes. This Charm may be comboed with Charms of other Abilities. (note: This Charm could work as a Lore or Medicine Charm in regular Exalted, but was added here for the second.)

Taste of Aerosoled Death</b>

<b>Cost: 20 motes, 2 Willpower, 1 health level\\
Duration: Special\\
Type: Simple\\
Minimum Science: 5\\
Minimum Essence: 3\\
Prerequisites:  Touch of Chemistry Best Forgotten

There are those things that mankind has discovered and wished could be forgotten, but it's ability to discover weapons has always far exceeded the wisdom to use them (or not). The Abyssal takes time (at least an hour) and mixes together chemicals as they let the chemicals bond with hatred and necrotic essence. They can make a chemical weapon that does Science in lethal damage on a resistance roll failure, and 1 lethal on a success. It has a penalty and duration of Science. It works with contact. The difficulty to resist is their Permanent Essence. The number of people affected is up to the ST (1000 per use is maximum), but will depend on how it is spread. (note: This is the difficulty for mortals, Exalts difficulty is half (rounded down).)

Comments

These look like the top of a tree no one's written; compare to Unsurpassed Plague Kiss if you haven't done so already. - FWW

One point I'd like to make is that it requires equipment and planning to make the second Charm work at it's maximum. Toxins of that type require more work than Unsurpassed Plauge Kiss to use. And that requires more Charms if you don't want to leave evidence that you did it. - haren
