Description

 * The adept intimidates a character with his piercing gaze, staring intently at him and making a Steely Stare test against the target’s Social Defense.
 * If successful, the target feels a chill travel up his spine and becomes wary of the adept for a number of minutes equal to the adept’s Steely Stare rank. While affected, the target will not take any actions against the adept, including Interaction tests — such as Persuasion, Intimidation, Taunt, and so on—unless attacked. The target can shake off the effect by making a successful Willpower test against the adept’s Steely Stare Step.
