Comments

I felt that this should just be a little easier to learn, it being one of the most basic solar social charms. And while I was at it, I prefer scene long durations. - Morpheus

This feels more like an instance of power creep than a broken charm, to moi. The Solars already rock on toast; they don't need any sort of across the board improvements. - DS

I wouldn't say the charm is broken. But it would be nice to be able to make a character with 2 presence and a presence charm, and I don't think this charm is too powerful for that spot. I mean, it feels like a 2 presence charm. I totally agree with you, by the way about solars. But I think a couple of their charms are a little off one way or the other and can be tweaked. - Morpheus

Have to agree with DS here, Morpheus. --MetalFatigue

I'm gonna have to side with Morpheus on this one. The Charm as it stands is pretty damn expensive for what it does, and I don't like how you can't have Presence Charms till you have 3 Presence. A surprising number of my characters end up with 2 Presence, and I've always thought it was silly that a character with 2 in, say, Socialize has access to Mastery of Small Manners (which is a great Charm) and Wise-Eyed Courtier (which is decent), but a character with 2 Presence doesn't get anything. I like the original duration, though. - SilverMeerKat

I agree that Solars should have some kind of Presence 2 charm, but I think the cost and effect are fine. I changed the duration just because I prefer dramatic durations as opposed to arbitrary, finite ones.\\ ~*~Braydz~*~

I don't think the original charm needs revision. - Domon
