Interesting. probably simpler to treat each ability as
a ritual that requires the acupuncture skill.
The obvious use for celestials would be avoiding
essence rolls caused by celestial Discord; maybe
replace the roll with the CD acupuncture roll.

Dim Mak isn't supernatural; it's just a realisation
that some attacks take awhile to kill you. Frex, a
boxer who drops dead from a stroke a week after his
last match. There are a number of martial arts moves
that focus on regions that can't afford to take
damage, such as the carotid artery in the neck.
Celestial would be immune (Vessels and Body hits too
strong) but it would be a threat to any human they hit
- mortals just aren't designed to be hit by a being
that can headbutt a tank. Perhaps any human knocked
down by a Celestial would have to make a Body roll a
week later: if failed with a CD >= their body hits,
they die.
Calabim should be able to exploit mortal frailty with
their resonance, of course. Maybe use the Perception
part of their resonance to find a weakness, then
exploit it with Will based resonance? The damage of
the attack doesn't apply until after a duration
determined by feeding the CD of the Perception check
into the Geas table?

Cheers, James.
