The Abyssal’s body goes horrifically limp as he is struck,
bending and distorting under the force of the blow far more
than any flesh or bone should be able to. His foes can only gape
in shocked silence as they witness him laughing off his unbleeding
wounds, or popping dislocated limbs back into place. Every
mote spent on this Charm removes one die from the post-soak
damage of an attack against the Abyssal, to a minimum of one
die.
The attacking character gains an Intimacy of fear towards
the Abyssal if they have a Dodge MDV lower than the number
of motes spent on this defense, as they realize the true nature of
the undying horror they face. Resisting this unnatural Emotion
effect costs one Willpower.
