CELESTIAL PROMOTION

Cost: Imbue 1 Legend
Duration: Condition
Subject: Self or one character
Range: Short
Action: Simple
You name yourself or another with a title imbued with the authority of heaven: “Great Sage, Equal to Heaven,” “Protector of Dogs,” “That One God No One Likes,” or something similar. The bestowed title is a Condition. The target’s title is self-evident to anyone who meets him, and people who need aid related to the title’s duties will tend to come to them for help. The title provides Enhancement 2 on rolls to influence characters or form plans whenever the target is able to take advantage of it, but imposes Complication 2 where it incurs the displeasure of those they’re working with — cats don’t like the Protector of Dogs, and no one likes That One God No One Likes.
A character who finds their title disagreeable can resolve this Condition by undertaking a dramatic action that carries significant potential consequences in the service of their title’s duties, finally releasing themselves from its obligations. A spurned lover named “King of the Poorly Endowed Assholes” might resolve the Condition by rounding up a gang of fellow assholes and establishing authority over them with shows of strength and intimidation. If the Scion recovers the Legend imbued in this Boon, the Condition also resolves.
