Would Molly be able to use it on herself for better living? Not in the mechanical sense but say, a healthier lifestyle?
Don't look that gift horse in the mouth and be happy people are now reasonable. There were multiple reference to Molly having Nightmares before the one that actually marked us, but since it didn't have any mechanical effects, they were happy to not acknowledge the very real PTSD. Nevermind the narrative factor.

Oh sure. though it should be noted that one of the little mentioned boons of being a Exalt is that you cannot suffer from any chronic condition unless someone inflicts it on you with magic.
So just to verify; the only tangible benefit would be the sleep replacement, which we'd only get after buying some useless initiation stuff?
And you would be able to heal and diagnose some mundane and supernatural ailments in others.

Less that and more infinite willpower from converting 1 Essence into multiple wp points.
With the bleach Essence recovery we essentially get infinite mote and wp.
With adorjan charms we can roll for wp on battle.
So it is well worth it.

We don't have those Adorjan charms though, and we don't have a timeline around when or if they'll be available via homebrew.
Having more wp around is nice, but we need a larger pool around for defensive reasons on a minute to minute basis so spending it like essence isn't necessarily the best idea.
The benefits of spending wp under the ExWoD system aren't extreme enough to convince me that this is an effective use of time and energy relative to our other options for us.

Err....what homebrew? It is a one dot charm, running to forever. It is on the list of things to get.
This is the qiao.
The qiao says when you are in a state of relaxation she can roll for willpower recovery. The charm makes moving as resting for essence recovery.
I thought you were talking about additional charms allowing us to roll for wp on demand.
I'm not sure that RtF would count for that purpose, or in a way that works for meditation. It seems like something you need to dedicate focus to.

Indeed. (source: I used to have one)
They are also so uncomfortable to ride, very hard on the knees.

They're not too easy on the head, either, judging by how many times my brother fell off his and landed skull first. That could explain some things...
So what you are saying is that it is precisely the kind of thing a four year old would obsess over.
Suspending the need for sleep isn't the same thing as relaxing*, and just being relaxed isn't the same a being the whole of what's implied in the check.
Here's a description DP gave us on this previously:
Meng is disciplined super sleep; you need to be relaxed to do it, but it's still sleeping rather than standing around in a good mood.
I'm skeptical of the idea that we can actually do it that quickly even if it only takes one check, or that doing so wouldn't leave us vulnerable even if we could.
* Which is mechanically reflected in the way it doesn't give willpower back. It does give essence, but essence recovery is independent of activity level. We get essence back at Dawn no matter how tired we are at the time for example. RtF is still a good charm for the infinite physical stamina and alertness, but it doesn't seem like a mental recovery tool.

I don't think we can do it quickly, but propably still at a better rate than 1 WP per night as normal, if we spend the night with relaxed jogging.

@DragonParadox would Running to forever count as relaxation for Meng's Willpower recovery roll?

Yeah... I might still have a little scar on my knee from where I spilt it open hitting a gap between two sidewalk segments and going over the handlebars. Then again, that would have been

Well this is what the Charm says:
Running to Forever (•)
The Infernal is tireless as the flaying winds of Hell. So long as she remains in motion, whether running, driving, or by whatever other means, she suffers neither fatigue nor exhaustion nor even need for sleep.
System: This Charm's effects are permanent. If the Infernal remains in constant, unceasing motion for 24 hours, she completely replenishes her Essence. By reflexively paying 1 Essence, the Infernal may run full-out reflexively rather than being forced to use an action for the rest of the scene.
And this is what the relevant part of Meng says:
Focus the Mind
Shih use a great deal of their willpower fighting against shen. This power lets them regain their resolve and once more perform their sacred duties
System: The Character spends 1 Yang Chi (Essence for you) and rolls Perception+Meditation (Willpower for you). Each success restores 1 point of willpower. The character must be in a state of relaxation to do so
So the question is if you take the Charm of endless running from the hell of endless flaying wind does that mean that running is now relaxing enough to meditate in? I am going to say yes, but looking at what you would be rolling to get the willpower back if you were not in ExvsWoD: Perception+Meditation I would say that you cannot be fully aware of your surroundings and meditate to regain willpower at the same time, You would auto-fail all perception rolls in this state, so make sure not to run through anyplace dangerous.

How long is the roll? One turn or more? Because it is silent on if it is instant or lasts for hours.
Also if our Anima is flaring does the "impossible to ambush or strike with an unexpected attack" power work or would we auto fail that?
