Duty

Mechanically, this is a weaker version of Blessed. Mortals who take this advantage may double their Will when asked to do something that would violate their Duty. The Duty must have a specific application: "Duty to my family," "Duty to the law," "Duty to my fiancee," and so on are all appropriate. A policeman with the appropriate Duty, for example, would be harder to talk out of a traffic ticket. A husband with Duty to his wife would be more difficult for that Lilim of Andre to seduce. (Of course not all policemen -- or all husbands! -- necessarily have a Duty in game terms.)

Note that OUTSIDE the Duty area, their Will remains normal. Seducing the policeman into betraying his wife may still be perfectly achievable ....
