That's what I meant with my question. Having a scenario full of
Thanatari haunts on schedule, I will be confronted with the issue
quite repeatedly (being on the possessing ghost/narrating side). I
want to make the mad head ghosts scary, but not to run a
full "exorcist: the director's cut" scenario after that.
I can fudge the critical "might vs freewill" rolls, but I was looking
for something more elegant.
