Proactive Wake - Appearance Knack

Proactive Wake - Appearance Knack - No Prerequisites

Whether it's due to your rugged good looks or your terrifying demeanor, people just tend to stay out of your way. Characters without a Legend score can't step into your path without a very good reason - and even then they must spend a Willpower to render themselves immune for the scene. Such mundane folks won't approach you at a party, and crowds automatically part for you walk between them. This even works during rush-hour traffic. The cars go out of their way to leave an opening for you - no one wants to provoke your road rage. Ignore all DV and movement penalties caused by throngs of mundane mortals. This benefit extends to anyone following immediately after you - which is good when guiding friends through a crowd, but bad when trying to escape pursuit.

You may take this Knack regardless of being Epically beautiful or ugly - smokin' good looks can flabbergast and intimidate just as well as horrific scars do.

The default assumption is that this power is always on, but you may spend a Willpower to deactivate it for a scene. Should that backfire, you may spend a second Willpower to reactivate it mid-scene, but those rendered immune earlier remain resistant.
