This doesn't sound like what you want at all, and I don't think you can modify it to fit. "Slave Mentality, except you can do whatever you want, except when someone of high Status gives you an order" is going to be hard to express in modifiers, right? And you autofail Will rolls to resist influence. Modifiers are also bad at making something become infinite, or stop being infinite, including penalties to rolls.

With Compulsive Obedience, you could adjust the self-control roll based on the perceived Status/Charisma/whatever of the person pressuring the character, which is great, because then your Compulsively Obedient character can have whatever Will score you want without getting the ability to say no to people. It's ultimately up to you, but I think you'll find this a better fit.

You make a good point. It probably is a Compulsive Behavior to do as told. And then a limitation to only do so to those above you.

For specifics of what this has to do with. It's for Imps being created to do what demons tell them. So it's only affect demons in the caste.
