I'm of the opinion that a lawyer needs a litigation-based ability, at least if s/he's practicing in America. But mostly I'm just happy that this thread didn't die!
I was quite partial to the boy my PCs were out to rescue:
Demon Messiah
The Powers of Darkness (magic)
Be creepy as hell
Exert hellish mastery
Corrupt
Speak with forked tongue
Magic Words: demon, spawn, hellfire, pain, flay, fear
...who was surrounded by his small horde of:

Obey the will of the Dark Lord
Flail wildly
Painful reminder of innocence lost
Be vulnerable
Please, sir, may I have some more?
One player really didn't enjoy me using their Be vulnerable ability to cause their own deaths protecting their master.
