Incubus/Abilities/Beseech secrecy
Beseech secrecy: Incubus ability
People are less likely to tell others about your sexual activities with them or others if you indicate, ask, persuade or demand they keep it a secret.
This effect is inversely proportional to (becomes less effective with) the target's involvement with and understanding of what is happening. More overt requests or demands for secrecy will naturally cause the target to become more involved.
(Note: The finer details about how all these understanding and involvement levels is still in need of better arrangement in order to make it clear about how they all work together. This project is still a work in progress.)
Understanding levels.
- 0: Zero awareness of sex
- 1: Aware things related to privates can be appealing for some people

- 7: Aware of seduction and sensual motions and how to have sex appeal

- 3: Has spoken with you before

- Lacking in sexual knowledge, and had the sex act performed on them without understanding what was done to them

Effect is directly proportional to level of power possessed by the Incubus
- <1000 power = no actual effect
- 1000+ power = faintly more likely than they would usually be to agree with Incubus' persuasion tactics
(WIP power levels)
Conditions:
- Incubus
- Has requested sex acts be kept secret
- No power requirements
Power gained: 100
