Indolent Official Charm

Cost: 4m; Mins: Bureaucracy 3, Essence 2; Type: Simple (Dramatic Action)
Keywords: Combo-OK
Duration: Indefinite
Prerequisite Charms: Any Bureaucracy Excellency

The enemies of the Solar Exalted are creatures of vice. The Lawgivers exploit their venality and allow them to defeat themselves. This Charm empowers the natural indolence of others. The Solar communicates with an organization regarding a project, and his player rolls ([Intelligence or Charisma] + Bureaucracy), adding the Solar's Essence in automatic successes. The difficulty of this roll is 1. If the person responsible for this project wishes a speedy resolution, subtract an external penalty of ([that person's Intelligence + Bureaucracy] ÷ 2) from the successes on the Bureaucracy roll. The Solar is aware of such opposition, however.

If the Solar succeeds, this Charm multiplies the remaining time required for the target organization to begin that project by (the Solar's Essence + 1). It is always increased to at least (the Solar's Essence) in hours. If the project has already begun, this Charm instead applies an external penalty equal to the Solar's Essence to the organization's attempts to make progress.

Prerequisite Charms: Any Bureaucracy Excellency

A well-chosen word can cripple an organization through confusion, infighting and greed. This Charm targets any organization containing a member with whom the Abyssal has spent at least one scene interacting in the past month, provided the unit's Magnitude does not exceed the Abyssal's (Bureaucracy x 2).
