Description

 * The adept scares a target by ranting at and threatening a character and making an Intimidation Speech test against the target’s Social Defense. If successful, the target becomes frightened and suffers a −2 penalty to all tests for each success generated by the adept. The target remains scared for a number of rounds equal to the adept’s Intimidation Speech rank. Each round, the target may make a Willpower test against the adept’s Intimidation Speech Step. If successful, he throws off the effect of his fear and the talent ends.
 * Targets that are immune to fear cannot be affected by this talent.
