Mind Control With the Puppet Limitation
When you add the Puppet limitation, your victims lose all initiative under your control, temporarily acquiring Slave Mentality.
It makes sense it's a limitation, those guys will need to be spoonfed instructions and you can't rely on them to think through complex problems obeying your commands that come up "on the job". But what happens if you "attempt to force the subject to act against his principles (e.g., commit suicide or harm a loved one)"? Do they not get another Quick Contest to break free? Or if they do, is it penalized by Slave Mentality (Will-6)? Or is it exempt from any penalties?

Re: Mind Control With the Puppet Limitation
They get another normal, unpenalized resistance roll. The Slave Mentality bit essentially refers to how useless they become. You have to micromanage them, and can't trust them to take the initiative. It doesn't mean they lose their ability to resist your Mind Control with their full Will, even once affected.
