Righteous Lion Defense

Cost: —; Mins: Integrity 3, Essence 1; Type: Permanent
Keywords: None
Duration: Permanent
Prerequisite Charms: None

To the Solar Exalted, "death" and "surrender" are almost the same thing. This Charm helps a character hold fast to her fundamental Intimacies in the face of temptation. The player picks one of the character's Intimacies when purchasing this Charm. For the purposes of this Solar Charm, this loyalty must be to an ideal—not to a person or a love, but sometimes to a relationship; not to a tribe or city, but sometimes to the nation she might build of them; not to a battle or a war, but to the extinction of one foe or the conquest of a great region. (Other Exalted have versions of this Charm that support different commitments.)

This Charm allows the character to treat mental influence to betray or forsake that Intimacy as an unacceptable order. If the character voluntarily abandons that Intimacy or it becomes obsolete, this Charm ceases to function until, first, a new story begins and, second, the character chooses a new Intimacy to which the Charm applies.

Players can also shift this Charm to a new Intimacy at any time by spending one experience point. Players can purchase this Charm a second time to reinforce one additional Intimacy. Any further loyalties require more specialized magic.

Eternal Enmity Approach

The same as an Abyssal Exalted charm. Adds Mirror keyword.
Prerequisite Charms: None

The hatred of an Abyssal is more relentless even than the deathknight who carries it. Unlike its Solar Mirror, this Charm reinforces an Intimacy of hatred toward an organization, an idea or a widespread social group. Any mental influence that works against the Abyssal's desire to extinguish the target of his hatred becomes an unacceptable order. As an additional side effect, whenever an Abyssal with this Charm dies, her next incarnation gains the Intimacy along with Exaltation, though this hatred is no longer magically empowered.
