I don't write assuming that the canon Devil Tiger path exists. It doesn't interest me. And I honestly don't want to incentivise players to take it, because if I have to write a whole bloody Charmset, I'd rather write a Yozi Charmset that I can publish myself and people are actually interested in reading.
Given how much focus that the Devil Tiger path got to the exclusion of everything else, this is a desire that I sympathize and agree with. I'm also not interested in spending a few days on writing around thirty Charms for a single character that no other character can use, when I could just go find some other, actually canon Yozi and write a bunch of Charms for that one.
Like, when it comes down to it, the fun in Infernals is piecing together Charms that don't do exactly what you want to do what you want. So the Devil Tiger personal Charmset isn't something I want.
It also has the problem that when you actually
reach the point where you can go Devil Tiger, then you'll already have something around 3-5 Yozi Excellencies already, so if you are unable to get those to do what you want then it's actually
impressive that you have managed to reach this level of Essence in the first place.
Because frankly, if you can't augment your dice pools with one of your
five Excellencies, then you might actually be too
incompetent to deserve your Exaltation.
As for the "joke" here? Yes. The fetich is literally a relabelled coadjutor. It's unsummonable (though it does give you seven more 2CDs, which is not to be sneered at), it gives you the Fetich background which is the Unwoven Coadjutor background and serves its role for all purposes (which means you can still buy all these Unwoven Charms I make after getting rid of your fetich), and on top of that I even made it explicit and provide an alt-option for Infernals who like their Coadjutor and want to keep it, but want the other effects of the Charm.
Which means that it's still completely worthless, since the other alternative would get you, your own Fetich that you can summon only to have it Ghost-Eaten by some asshole Solar with a Daiklave, a funny hat and a bunch of gems glued to his ass.
Wait that sounds like a feature that doesn't give you a huge fuck-off weakness that any two-bit Circle of Exalts can exploit to murder you.
Carry on.
This is a Charm to get rid of your Yozi-controlled Urge, and by default get rid of your coadjutor and allow you to buy Unwoven charms. In the default version, you're literally setting one of your Intimacies to your Urge instead, which is basically therefore giving you a second Motivation. The fact that it has a bunch of fluff around it doesn't actually change what it does.
And that's an
amazing ability because it closes off a weak spot in your mental makeup while also giving you a bunch of flavor with a Fetich Soul that you can play around with and do Kerisian shenanigans with.
It also gives you
seven Second Circles that you can summon. Which is pretty great, considering that a Second Circle is like Enlightenment 6 to 8, making them pretty damn useful, because even if it might not be around the hallowed halls of "endgame Solar/Abyssal/Infernal", it's still an elder Dragon-Blood/starting Solaroid-level combatant
at minimum.
So, no, you can't fetich death them, because just like the coadjutor it's totally unsummonable and spends its time in the "no one else can go there" Infernal's soul that's really just a pokeball for the Infernal to keep their personal demons in.
"no one else can go there" is probably the place where the dreams and hopes of Second Edition writers go to die.
Oh wait no, that's Scroll of The Monk and Lunars.
I called it a fetich because the name was fitting, and because now it's defining the Infernal's Urge which can be considered to be their "core nature" from a certain point of view.
The name does make sense, because in the end it serves
baaaaasically the the same purpose as a Fetich does.
