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 ....
Hmm. You could just expand the 'Servant' rules in LS to apply to others. Thus a cop who is a 'servant' to the LE community has a resistance bonus according to how dedicated he is. A 'Duty'/1 would be Barney Fife. A Duty/6 would be a psychocop. The guy who doesn't go to his mom's funeral because it's his shift.
