Impudite Dissonance: Inaction condition?

[Azel]

Impudites. Impudites, my dear JCD. They've already graduated from imp (or gremlin) status and no longer toil like the legion of unnamed snots of hell.
;)

Yeah, Birthday Boy learned that thumbs and their loss don't necessarily rattle Impudites. Then again, that Samingan attunement "earn no dissonance when killing a human" is pretty stereotype breaking, too. Sorta fun as well, especially when a party figures out the band, but not the Superior. A Soldiers of God or two may have learned this the hard way to their chagrin. Toying with incomplete antagonist information is always good for a laugh in this game.

Don't tease the predators, kids. Sometimes they can surprise you. :D

However (barring APG minutae), Mercurians are not necessarily compelled to at least attempt to rescue every person they see that is about to get hit by a bus.

This reminds me of that quote from 'Batman Begins' "I can't kill you but that doesn't mean I have to save you." (Possibly paraphrased)

Now that looks like the beginning of a beautiful Attunement for an Impudite of Makatiel, (deceased) Demon Prince of Disease...
