Seeing how there is an increasing amount of people who are going into jewelry, thought this may be interesting.

If you were to pierce yourself, there is something of a 20 second balance time. So why not if you can dominate, hand them a needle and force them to pierce themselves? Wouldn't that be worth the power cost?

Simplest solution: already have everywhere pierced. It -might- be possible to get a pierce on someone else, but that's fairly unreliable and they, too, will eventually run out of places to pierce.

Other solution: don't be on-balance.

Other solution: ask for it to be made un-dominatable.

Asking it to be an unforceable action would be the easiest. Just BUG it and see what they see.

It should be unforceable, since once you have a piercing, you can't remove it.

nobody would know if you have a piercing or not unless you put a stud in though... Or you can force target to pierce someone else. Left ear and right ear takes 5 piercings each, and have them immediately agree... same balance time, you got yourself a new piercing. and the target can easily be insta-killed....

I would know. You would know.

psh. i want to see someone try it out in combat before it gets indomitable. and put the log here...

While I can definitely see this being a kill to brag about with friends at some point, I doubt it would be that great for anything else. For one, your target has to be able to. That's pretty limiting, I think. Blah blah un-pierced, pierced, you pull it off... and then what? From what I understand, this won't KILL the person, just make them more or less useless for a very long time. Then you use an instakill and... you still killed from the instakill, not the piercing. I guess I'm missing something, but I would use my forcing ability to do something smaller and more certain of helping.

But! I REALLY want to know what cannot be forced, for future reference. Any ideas where I could get a list for that?

Wait wait wait. They have to AGREE? Hell. If they die from this, they deserve it.

You don't have to agree to pierce yourself. But to for person A to pierce person B, person B would need to agree, and person A gets 20 seconds off balance.
