They also say that crazy in the head = crazy in the bed. Theo's visual opinion of Vicky is high enough that she's almost certainly worth it.
Only the non-Vicky Dallons and besides they're all very attractive (plus we have that crush on Crystal and possibly Amy as well)
And seeing Amy flounder while trying to get us to notice her sounds hilarious
So, it basically lets us move positive influence from one person to another? Is that correct?
Making people dislike us is a benefit?It lets you corrupt a positive intimacy into a negative intimacy, and as a SIDE benefit, you get to throw in a positive intimacy for yourself or an organization of your choice.
This can be resisted.

Sorry if I'm misinterpreting this, I really don't know anything about Exalted.
Oh. Oooooh.No... making people dislike something that they like. And as a bonus either like us or an organization of our choice.
Oh. Oooooh.
Yes, that seems incredibly useful. Could that be used to break Amy of her Vicky-addiction?

I really like the concept here, that an Abyssal spreads the chill of the grave to those he interacts with, and those so touched cling to him like dying sailors. It nicely captures the dual terror and comfort that the Deathknights can bring. The basic effect is similar to a combined version of the low essence effects of Broken Heart Triumph and it's mirror, You Can Be More. Reasonable, except that this charm is cheaper, harder to resist, and more flexible. It probably shouldn't be strictly superior. I would also suggest that the nature of the two intimacies should not be completely up to the Abyssal, but rather follow directly from the thematics of the charm. Finally, what level of interaction is necessary to trigger the effect? A glance? A brief speech? Detailed personal interaction that involves the intimacy being corrupted?Tanuki would like to be able to get this charm approved and be something to work towards.... :3

I do have two concerns. First, this is too cheap for a scene-long effect. As mentioned earlier, Broken Heart Triumph is 5m, 1wp for an instant effect. Irresistible Succubus Style is 10m, 1wp for an instant effect that will hit everyone present, and is also Obvious. The cost should be somewhere between these, probably towards the upper end. It won't hit as many as the latter, but it is more subtle and flexible.
Second, it doesn't seem to allow any kind of defense beyond spending a substantial amount of willpower. This can be done, but is generally a bad idea for such a powerful effect. It doesn't have to be MDV, but it should be something. Consider Know the Souls Price, which can't be resisted, but does require giving them their heart's true desire, or charms that make the defender roll against a fixed target. As a Socialize charm, rather than a Presence one, I'd be tempted to have it trigger off a series of successful arguments or especially counter arguments(Parry MDV) directly involving the intimacy to be weakened. That would actually justify a lower cost for the charm, as it would be much harder to trigger. Or it could be a permanent charm with a small cost to activate.
That makes more sense then, though it's a nonstandard usage. A charm that takes an hour to use is still of Instant duration if it doesn't involve committing essence afterwards. It would just have a type of Simple(Dramatic Action), with any relevant details in the charm text.I was tempted to throw in a willpower cost as well.
It's relatively easy to resist, you just throw willpower at it. More than that, it requires a scene of social interaction... ie you have to talk to the victim, interact with them and so on.
ie the duration is scene, because that's how long you need to use it to have it take effect. It's not "instant".
This really depends on how the ST manages NPCs. RAW getting rid of an unwanted intimacy is stupidly easy, but they really shouldn't do that without good reason. An extra isn't likely to spend 3wp unless something they greatly value is threatened. A heroic mortal might, especially if they feel they or their principles have been violated.Willpower is something available to everyone. And if it successfully hits you. You don't even NEED to spend willpower to get rid of it's effects. 1 season of no positive interaction would do and the positive intimacy drops off on its own. And you can get rid of the corrupted/negative intimacies as normal.
Actually, she's not really addicted as she can live without Vicky's aura just fine. It's more like very strong conditioning. In terms of Exalted... I dunno. Extra dots in intimacy? Additional intimacies? >.<Alas no, that's an addiction... but we could make her HATE Vicky with this charm. :3
