Gaze of the Golden Deceiver "A flicker of gold, a whisper of power—none can look away."

1
You possess superhuman people skills.
Used by Zhòng de piànzǐ, Created by Noralius.
( Your The Yaojing flicker in hi eyes must be used or obviously visible while you are actively benefitting from this effect.)

When Zhòng de piànzǐ channels his unearthly charm, his eye blazes with molten gold, the Yaojing’s shadow flickering like a phantom within. Each word spills like honeyed venom, the glow pulsing with a hypnotic rhythm, bending even the strongest wills to his command.

You gain the following benefits as long as you have your The Yaojing flicker in hi eyes.

Your Charisma rating is increased by 0. You may Exert your Mind to automatically gain an Outcome of 5 on any roll that uses Charisma (Cannot be used on combat rolls or Power activations).

Possession of this Power grants the following Battle Scar: Possessed Eye.

Possession of this Power grants the following Trauma at all times: God Komplex.

If you are witnessed actively using this Effect, whoever sees it can make a Perception + Alertness roll at Difficulty 6. A complete success reveals the source of your power.

You also gain the following effects:

  • Anime: You may have a 30 second conversation with another character on your initiative each Round in Combat, and using any Communication Effect takes a Free Action instead of a full Action.
  • No Choice But To Stan: If someone speaks or acts against you socially, anyone observing it must roll Mind, with the difficulty equal to your Charisma, in order to not defend you.
  • Party Animal: You are welcome at, and will be granted entrance to, any social gathering or party, at least as an observer.
  • Poker Face: You reveal only what you want to reveal. It is impossible to determine whether or not you are lying. You may roll Charisma + Performance to resist any investigative Effect that targets you. If you successfully resist, you determine the info they get.

  • Being forced to Stan will not force someone to violate any of their Limits or to engage in violence of any kind (though they may still do so of their own volition).
  • A "social gathering" might include a birthday party, after-work drinks, a ski trip, or yoga in the park, among other things. It likely would not include a cult gathering to summon a demon, Congressional negotiations over a contentious bill, etc.
  • In rare cases, GMs may require you to make a roll to lie to particularly powerful beings.
  • If your The Yaojing flicker in hi eyes is damaged, destroyed, or lost, you lose all benefits from this Effect for the next two months.
  • Attribute bonuses from multiple sources do not stack. Instead the highest bonus is used.
