The Lawgivers are masters of the use of language. This Charm is a magical flurry of many Social Attacks, or other Social actions eligible to be placed in a flurry, providing a total number of actions equal to (the Solar's Wits). Each of these attacks is made at the Solar's full dice pool, ignoring usual multiple action penalties. These attacks similarly ignore Rate, and the DV penalty for the flurry is equal to the highest penalty for any of the attacks. This charm may explicitly be placed in a combo with charms of another ability.

New Abyssal Charm: As Yet Unnamed (Prerequisites: Any Linguistics Excellency). Apart from its prerequisite, this Charm functions identically to its Mirror.

Solar Charm Cascade Errata (Linguistics)

  • Whirling Brush Method (page 236) can stand in as "Any Linguistics Excellency" for the purposes of Linguistics charms.
  • Discerning Savant's Eye (page 233) changes its Prerequisite Charms to None. As a clarification, in addition to its base effects, this Charm removes the Unexpected quality from any Social Attacks that affect the character while the charm is active.
  • Sagacious Reading of Intent (page 233) can only function as a Perfect Defense against Social Attacks; not any kind of Influence.
  • Poetic Expression Style (page 233) changes its duration to One Day.
  • Excellent Emissary's Tongue (page 233) can also allow the Solar to mimic a dialect he doesn't know flawlessly. This function is difficulty 3, or 1 if the character has been hearing the dialect for more than a few hours.
