Behind the Throne
Majesty ••, Obfuscate ••
Majesty is all about being the center of attention, while Obfuscate focuses on its Avoidance. Combining them, then, allows one to direct attention while unobserved.
Effect
This Devotion allows a character to activate Awe, and to give its benefits to someone other than herself. If the standard use of Awe puts your character in the limelight, Behind the Throne focuses the limelight on anyone she chooses. This can work just like Awe, only with the benefits accruing to someone other than the Majesty user.
If the person being enhanced is also using Awe, the successes rolled with Behind the Throne are added to the receiver’s Awe successes for the purposes of overcoming the Composure of the audience. If used in this fashion, the person at the center of attention does not need to succeed at his use of Awe to gain the perks of Behind the Throne. If he gets a dramatic failure on his roll, however, Behind the Throne has no effect.
