Inside the Great Maker - Exalted Characters

Sherwood · Oct 26, 2021

Here is the Character thread.

For this game, everyone starts at Essence 3, and have five General Charm slots and five Dedicated Charm slots, with a total of 10 Charms to go in them.

You also have 20 Bonus Points to spend instead of just 18.

We are using the Hardy Keyword, so with each purchase of the following Charms, you get a free Strain Resistant Chassis Modification.

New Keyword: HARDY
Each purchase of a Charm bearing this keyword works like a purchase of the Exalt's native version of Ox-Body Technique. This entirely replaces the Charm by that name; players lose those Charms and spend the refunded XP on Charms with the Hardy keyword.

No character may benefit from the Hardy keyword more times than their Essence score. An Essence 5 character with seven Hardy-keyworded Charms only benefits from the equivalent of five purchases of Ox-Body Technique until he raises his Essence score.

No character may receive the benefits of the Hardy keyword from any Charm not considered natural to his kind. Eclipses cannot learn Bruise-Relief Method and thus gain extra health levels, nor can a Malefactor grant extra health levels when bestowing Transcendent Desert Creature upon her followers as a mutation effect.

ALCHEMICALS:
Pain Suppression Nodes
Subcutaneous/Exoskeletal Armor Plating (any and all installments)
Transitory Invulnerability Engine
Essence Shield Projector
Alloyed Reinforcement of Flesh
Body-Reweaving Matrix
Bodily Integrity Field
Aegis Integration System
Enshrined Divinity Apparatus
Industrial Survival Frame (any and all installments)
Biofunction Inhibitor
Sustenance Replication Engine

I have also decided to take a page from 3rd edition and award your xp in two different blocks; one set that can be used for any purchase you wish to make, and the second can be used for anything except Charms and Charm slots. That way it helps to encourage you to spend some time raising up your attributes, abilities and such instead of just focusing on buying the Charms.

All xp awards will be tracked here.

Anima Effect: By reflexively spending five motes, a Plot Weaver can align his soul and Essence with the Design of the Great Maker. His player adds (Essence ÷ 2) to all attack, damage and Join Battle rolls for the scene. During this time, a prismatic halo of colors trails slightly ahead of the Alchemical as a sort of reverse afterimage, highlighting the auspicious movements he will take. Those who behold the halo perceive the dim hand of inevitability, but it avails them nothing. Only in painful retrospect do targets understand what they saw. It activates automatically at no cost whenever the Alchemical’s anima reaches the 11+ level of display.

Type: Reflexive

Duration: One scene
Prerequisite Charms: None
This Charm is housed as a set of reinforcing components and Essence capacitors in the lower legs. When activated, the device allows the Alchemical to twist gravity’s pull in one of two ways. Each mode of the Charm must be activated separately if the two are to function concurrently. In the primary mode, the Exalt controls the orientation of “down” in relation to himself. Doing so allows the character to walk or run along any surface that would be capable of bearing his weight if it were down, including walls and ceilings. Moving the soles of his feet more than (Essence) yards from a surface results in gravity reassuming its normal properties but does not end the Charm, allowing all manner of improbable acrobatics such as somersaulting off of a wall to land on the ceiling.
In its secondary mode, the Champion gains the ability to reduce his weight to as little as 15 percent of normal. Doing so permits the Exalt to move at double his normal movement rate and jump twice as far, but it also doubles penalties due to high wind, doubles knockback distance and imposes whatever other effects the Storyteller deems appropriate for the change in weight.

Dexterity Charms

Prerequisite Charms: None
In moments of critical necessity, intrinsic competence can receive exponential augmentation. This Charm may be purchased once for each of the nine Attributes, allowing motes to add dice to any Attribute-based action like the First Excellency of the Solar Exalted (see Exalted, p. 183). This Charm and other Attribute Augmentations are Excellencies with another name. The term Excellency was not coined until after Autochthon fashioned the Alchemical blueprints, however, so Champions still use his original nomenclature.

Prerequisite Charms: None
For areas of endeavor integral to an Alchemical’s designated legend, temporary boosting via mote expenditure is too inefficient. This Charm may purchased for any of the Alchemical’s Attributes and may be installed up to (Essence ÷ 2, rounded up) times per Attribute, though the Exalt need commit Personal Essence to only the first installation. Each installation increases the maximum value that the Exalt can have for the Attribute in question and provides one additional dot of that trait. Attribute dots supplied by this Charm do not count toward the experience cost to raise the Attribute, but count as natural dots for all other purposes, including raising the cap for other Attribute Augmentations. The enhancements provided by this Charm are Obvious at all times; the glittering web of electromorphic filaments tracing the head of an Alchemical with boosted Intelligence are every bit as distinctive as the pneumatic musculature of an Exalt with improved Strength.
Example: An Alchemical with Dexterity 4, Essence 3 installs this Charm twice, raising the Attribute cap from 5 to 7 and raising his effective Dexterity to 6. If he refitted his Dexterity to take advantage of the unused dot of ceiling by improving the rating without this Charm, it would cost experience as if he were purchasing a fifth dot rather than a seventh.

This Charm takes the form of a complex mechanical assembly in the Alchemical’s spine. When activated, it reduces by one the Speed of any action of Speed 4+, to a minimum of 3. This Charm may benefit any Attribute-based action for which the character has an installed Augmentation. Physical actions become highly precise and efficient, cognition occurs with the mind briefly cleansed of all distractions, and speech becomes clipped and slightly rushed as the Alchemical makes his points quickly and concisely.

Prerequisite Charms: Any Stamina Augmentation
This Charm has two configurations, one of which must be selected at the time of purchase. In its Exoskeletal configuration, a metallic carapace is riveted onto the Alchemical’s flesh. It provides +3L/4B soak and +2L/3B Hardness per installation, and is considered armor. This exoskeleton is Obvious, and while artifact armor may always be worn over it for cumulative benefit, mundane protective gear must be specially tailored to accommodate the Exalt. In its Subcutaneous configuration, it takes the form of a fully articulated mesh of dense subdermal plates and is Internal. This mode provides +2L/3B soak and +1L/2B Hardness per installation, and is considered natural soak. Regardless of configuration, Alchemicals may harbor a number of simultaneous installations equal to their Essence and may mix-and-match armor types within this total limit.
The first two cost one mote to install, but subsequent installations require no commitment.
Essence 6+ Alchemicals may support heavier layers of armor and no longer require commitment for the first two installations, adding +3L/4B soak and +2L/3B Hardness per Subcutaneous installation or +4L/5B soak and +3L/4B Hardness per Exoskeletal installation.

The Champion fortifies his body through the installation of armored plates, redundant organs, metal bones and reinforcing struts. This Charm adds either two -1 health levels or three -2 health levels, configured at the time of installation, and may be installed up to (Essence) times. Installations past the first two require no installation cost.
Essence 6+ Alchemicals gain access to more extensive modes of reinforcement and can reconfigure all installations of this Charm to provide three -1 or four -2 health levels per installation.
Like all Ox-Body Technique equivalents, this Charm cannot be learned through the Eclipse, Moonshadow or Fiend anima abilities.

Cost: 10m, 1wp [1m]; Mins: Manipulation 4, Essence 2;
Type: Reflexive (Step 10)
Keywords: Obvious
Duration: Until broken
Prerequisite Charms: Any Manipulation Augmentation
This Charm constitutes a spike mounted in one of the Alchemical’s limbs, which can be extended or retracted at any time with a miscellaneous action to draw or ready a weapon. The probe may be stabbed into a victim as a stiletto (Speed 5, Accuracy +2, Damage +3L, Defense +0, Rate 3, Tags P) or inserted without damage into a willing or restrained subject (including those held in a clinch). The spike is not intended to serve as a weapon, however, but rather as an instrument of mind control.
The Charm may be invoked on Step Ten when the Exalt damages or harmlessly pierces a being of equal or lower Essence. Once inserted, the spike releases hundreds of Essence-sculpted microscopic automata that rapidly thread their way through nerve bundles to the spine and up into the brain. The Exalt immediately attempts to force his victim into a mindscape. This is resolved as a roll to control a clinch, but the Exalt uses her ([higher of Manipulation or Wits] + Presence) as the attacking dice pool, resisted by the victim’s (Wits + Integrity).
If the Exalt wins, she may deploy only the psychic equivalent of a hold action, forcing the victim into an empty mindscape marred only by his own psyche and a vague awareness of the Alchemical’s presence. Physically, a victim trapped within his own mind is considered Inactive as though held in a standard clinch. If the victim wins, he may only break the clinch, pushing the spike harmlessly out of his body. The invading automata then denature into raw Essence.
The Alchemical’s player continues to make this roll on each subsequent action until the victim breaks the psychic clinch or the Alchemical chooses to retract the spike. She may take no other actions while holding a target’s mind hostage with this Charm.

Prerequisite Charms: Personality Override Spike
This Charm expands its prerequisite, allowing the Alchemical the option of either “holding” or “crushing” a victim drawn into a mindscape when in control of the psychic clinch. “Crush” attacks constitute a form of unnatural mental influence costing one Willpower to resist. Resisting this influence merely assures the integrity of the victim’s personality for a few more moments and does not end the clinch.
If the victim fails to fight off the probe’s intrusion, the Alchemical may modify his personality to be more agreeable. She may apply one of the following modifications on each “crush” action and wastes any action spent attempting an impossible change:
Intimacies: One Intimacy of the Alchemical’s choice may be added, up to his normal limit. Alternatively one Intimacy of the target’s choice is removed as an Illusion effect, and the Alchemical learns what Intimacy was erased.
Memory: The victim can be made to forget a specific contiguous period of memory covering as much as five years or all memories associated with an Intimacy the Charm has excised. The Exalt does not learn the details of the memories she deletes. This is an Illusion effect.
Virtues: Any of the victim’s Virtues may be increased or decreased by one dot. This cannot shift them above 5 or below 1.
Willpower: The victim gains or loses a dot of permanent Willpower (maximum 8, minimum 1).
When the Exalt is finished, the spike slides painlessly free. The effects are permanent as applied to mortals, who can recover lost dots of Virtues or Willpower by spending the requisite experience and a month per dot to heal their torn psyches. Essence users can pay four Willpower at any time to restore a diminished trait to its original rating instead and can pay this cost in installments. Adding Virtue or Willpower dots is a Training effect for mortals, but Essence users can choose to apply a Training effect or a one-day temporary boost when they gain a dot. Essence users can recover lost memories by seeking out reminders of them or otherwise spending scenes building an Intimacy to the memory. Once the Intimacy forms, it dissolves as the memory returns.

Appearance Charms

Cost: 5m [1m]; Mins: Appearance 1, Essence 2;
Type: Simple (Speed 3)
Keywords: Combo-OK, Internal
Duration: Indefinite
Prerequisite Charms: None
As a complex system of artificial flesh patches and other mechanisms, this Charm betrays no outward signs of its presence. It is designed to physically conceal non-Internal Alchemical Charms, giving as many of them as desired the Internal keyword for the duration of the effect. Affected devices retract and compress under the Exalt’s skin through compartment panels, while her claylike flesh morphs and spreads to cover the area they previously occupied. As usual, Obvious Internal Charms reveals themselves for the duration of use, though only to the degree that is necessary to perform the Obvious function. To change which Charms are hidden, the Charm must be reflexively deactivated and then reactivated normally.
As a final benefit, if all of the Alchemical’s Charms have the Internal keyword (whether naturally or from use of this Charm) and she is human-sized, she may weight of hidden Charms so that her heavy tread does not betray her nature. In toto, the changes allow her to pass as mortal. An Exalt disguised this way may even retract or modify the appearance of her soulgem as a reflexive action.

Cost: 6m, 1wp [2m]; Mins: Appearance 3, Essence 2;
Type: Simple
Keywords: Combo-OK, Internal, Obvious
Duration: Indefinite
Prerequisite Charms: Integrated Artifact Transmogrifier
This Charm takes the form of hundreds of tiny wire hooks linking pistons to key points under the Exalt’s skin, as well as a bank of Essence-fueled pigment injectors. Upon activation, the Alchemical recalibrates his physical appearance as an extremely rapid disguise action, substituting Appearance for Intelligence without the need for props or prior study of the target beyond a moment’s observation. For its duration, the Charm changes the Champion’s body instead of merely hiding its true appearance, allowing instant alterations to sex (including hermaphroditic or asexual, the latter of which provides a +3 MDV bonus against all seduction-based mental influence), overall physique, build, race, voice modulation and pigmentation (including introducing inhuman hues and adding or removing tattoos and scars).
The Exalt cannot modify his new body’s final height or weight by more than 10 percent of its unmodified measurements. Virtually any body that a human being could have is fair game for the Charm, even body types that are crippled, deformed, unhealthy or otherwise damaged. Disguising oneself as a character with a lower or higher Appearance rating does not adjust the operation or effectiveness of Charms based on that Attribute, though it affects reactions normally (such as social combat modifiers). Use of this Charm’s prerequisite is still necessary to avoid having visibly implanted Charms spoil the disguise. Generally speaking, the changes wrought by the Charm result in a difficulty 1 for the disguise roll or 2 if attempting to copy a specific person.
The effectiveness of a disguise created by Husk-Sculpting Apparatus is based on the threshold generated by the roll as normal, but the Charm is imperfect. Witnesses with a (Perception + Awareness) total of 11+ or who have any superhumanly acute senses automatically recognize him as an imposter upon encountering him without need for a roll or suspicion. Although many animals have superhuman senses, few are intelligent enough or well trained enough to care about a disguise when determining how they react. The Charm is even weaker against Essence sight or comparable Charms, as witnesses with such powers automatically perceive the Alchemical’s true form overlaid on the disguise. Of course, failure to use Integrated Artifact Transmogrifier to hide all Charms when disguised as anything other than another Alchemical also spoils the ruse. Once the Charm deactivates, the Alchemical’s body resets to its true form.
Repair: 2
The signature weapons of the Alchemical Exalted, these intricate cylinders are constructed from magical materials encased in a foot-long shell of reinforced alloys and tipped with a concave crystal disc. Variations on the straight cylinder do exist, but are uncommon and do not affect their function. Slightly curved versions are the most popular variation. Attuning to a beam weapon requires a commitment of three motes, whereupon
these devices become light, nimble and easy to wield. Thereafter, when the Exalt pays five motes into his attuned beam weapon, the weapon extrudes a blade of glowing Essence that averages three feet in length. (It lasts for an entire scene.) These blades combine tremendous heat and pure force and are able to set flammable objects alight with but a touch. The color of the blade depends on the magical material used in the artifact’s construction. Orichalcum blades emanate golden-white light that pulses as the blade moves, while moonsilver blades flicker with a pale,
silver-blue radiance. Jade blades glow softly in the color of their jade-type, although black jade generates a midnight blue brilliance. Starmetal beam weapons are crimson-hued at rest, and smoothly arc through the spectrum to deep violet as they slash through the air. Soulsteel beam weapons are the deep red-black of dried blood and leave behind curtains of ash in their wake. Adamant beam weapons are the most spectacular. They are barely visible at rest as pale-blue prisms of energy that refract and scatter all other light. But as they cut through the air, they flash intermittently like bolts of lightning and trail azure sparks behind them.
Active beam weapons carry the same traits as their magical material counterparts, and artifact melee and martial arts weapons have beam weapon equivalents. Slayer khatars, fate rings, baneclaws and razor claws always come in pairs, and all beam weapons have an Artifact rating two dots higher than their normal counterparts, including warstrider-sized beam weapons—which cost an extra mote to attune. In addition to their normal traits, all beam weapons destroy non-magical weapons with which they come into contact, provided there are any successes on a parry on Step Ten of attack events, even if the successes are not sufficient to deflect the attack. Furthermore, all parry successes against beam weapons are halved (rounded down). If natural weapons are used to parry a beam weapon, the character using them suffers two lethal levels of damage and extras have those fists, claws or feet amputated. Also, if a beam weapon successfully strikes a being wearing non-magical armor, the raw damage of the attack is permanently subtracted from both the armor’s bashing and lethal soak values, to a minimum of zero. If both soak values are reduced to zero, the armor is destroyed and provides no further protection. Inanimate targets of roughly the user’s size or smaller also suffer a permanent soak reduction from attacks made against them. If an object’s soak is reduced to zero, it is left appropriately scorched and fractured, but is otherwise damaged normally. Larger objects, such as walls, apply the soak reduction to only the small area that is being attacked rather than to the entire structure. Magical weapons suffer no damage from contact with a beam weapon and may parry them without penalty.
While the most common form of beam weapon is the beamklave, other weapon models are referred to by the same prefaces as beamklaves, so reaper beamklave, reaver beamklave, grand beamcleavers, beamlances, et cetera.

Speed 4, Accuracy +5, Damage +7, Defense +1, Rate 3, Attune 3

Small, jeweled baubles that can come in almost any variety of forms, these artifacts are usually innocuous-seeming and easily concealed. Trinkets of dignified conduct are formed into brooches, necklaces, rings, earrings, belt buckles and the like, but they all share commonalities depending on what material was used in their construction, and all bear gear-and-piston designs or motifs. Each requires a commitment of two motes of Essence to attune, and all grant their wearers a +1 Dodge MDV. After depressing a small button incorporated into the design of each artifact and spending two additional motes, they confer the following powers upon their owners based on the magical material of their construction:
Starmetal: Often constructed with filigree surrounding polished mirrors or crystals, these trinkets assist those who wear them in uncovering secrets or hiding them, adding two dice to all Investigation social attacks or defenses.

Starmetal filigree patterned in gears and clockwork encases this eight-faceted crystal, each triangular side reflecting that which it faces like a mirror. A single facet of the crystal lies unobstructed by filigree, and for three motes, the bearer of this core can gaze into it and see locations up to (Essence x 10) yards away, no matter what obstructs her view. Charms and wards that obscure such clairvoyant magic also block this power.

These common artifacts are arcs of translucent crystal that are worn like a pair of goggles. By spending three motes, the user can activate Essence sight for one scene. This ability to see patterns of Essence allows the wearer to pierce total darkness, fog, smoke, precipitation, thick underbrush and any other non-solid barriers to vision. The wearer can also see immaterial beings and instantly notices any Essence-powered objects as well as characters or objects under the influence of Charms. While active, this device also provides the wearer with a +2 bonus to all Awareness rolls.
Another version of this device that also costs Artifact • requires the wearer to commit three motes of Essence to continuously power this device.

This blood-red, triangular stone increases the bearer’s Dodge DV by one. (This bonus applies to the final value, not the pool used to calculate it.) Setting this core in an edged weapon also grants a +1 bonus to all Melee attacks the bearer makes with that weapon.

Project 11442 Ultima Ratio
Production Model Name: Incandescent Ray of Judgement
Caste: Orichalcum
Concept: Nuke it From Orbit
Motivation: Purify the Infection Plaguing the Great Maker
Intimacies:
- "I am a defender of the populat."
- "Flower decides where I am needed. Needle points the way."
- "I need to stay in touch with my humanity."
- The Voidborn and their worshippers. [Emotion - Hatred]
Project Ultima Ratio is a modern broad-spectrum multi-role theological dominance platform. Its primary design purpose is bringing overwhelming firepower to bear while commanding high intensity conflict against increasingly prevalent and potent voidborn theological hazards. By slaying their so-called 'gods', we can break the faith of these heretical cults and in so doing both shatter their morale and boost faith in the Great Maker. In accordance with the precepts of Runel, blessed be her name, in addition to her primary mission profile, Incandescent Ray of Judgement is also capable of engaging in large scale demonstrations for the purpose of bolstering faith in the Great Maker and mobilizing public support for the war effort, neutralizing heretical mass movements through force of personality and threat of overwhelming force, precision strikes against heretical cults, and even social subversion of heretical organizers to mission-kill cells. Project Ultima Ratio is the shining hammer of the Great Maker, a herald of next-generation Alchemical design, and a beacon of hope for Kamak.

Catalyzed from a soul with a well established record of leading others in dangerous situations, often involving self-sacrifice, Incandescent Ray of Judgement has the necessary mental fortitude and strength of character to lead the Populat against even the most menacing voidborn threats. Notable past lives include, in chronological order:
- Fire Suppression team leader who convinced their team to make three attempts to reach the activation lever for the High Risk Containment System during a high intensity fire at Hazardous Materials Disposal Facility 014. The team perished on the third attempt, but successfully activated the containment measures where failure would have necessitated the permanent evacuation of several habitation blocks and adjacent industrial nodes.
- Morale Officer who mobilized panicked and fleeing workers during a catastrophic meltdown of Essence Reactor 376 to work to contain the reaction. The efficacy of their efforts are difficult to determine, but all of the workers had already been exposed to lethal doses of Lightning essence, and their final moments could not have been better spent.
- Lector whose fiery invectives when captured were sufficient to fragment a heretical voidbringer cult. In the ensuing chaos the cult was exposed and eradicated by a rapid response high threat regulator team. The lector was declared deceased upon arrival.
- An officer who, during a resource acquisition mission in the Reaches, rallied several groups of fleeing soldiers to make an assault against overwhelming enemy numbers to break a much larger encirclement of allied forces, successfully liberating the pocket despite horrendous casualties. Nearly half the expedition made it back alive, and after succumbing to their wounds they were posthumously awarded the Hero of the Populat.
CLASSIFIED MATERIAL - Ultraviolet Clearance - for Tripartite Eyes Only
Known project risks:
Incandescent Ray of Judgement has displayed a concerning level of codependence on her assembly. Despite every design specification and statistical projection based on the history of her soul, she has not taken the expected leadership position, instead ceding command authority to others. She demonstrates a counterproductive level of concern for collateral damage, deferring to Unexpected Flowering of Heroic Fortitude instead of duly appointed Tripartite liaisons for final go-codes on deploying her arsenal within urban environments. She takes little initiative in seeking heresy, leaving target selection entirely to Hot Needle of Inquiry. When not presented with a clear and present threat to the people she indulges excessively in recreational substances and 'morale-building' exercises that engender in the populat an unhealthy level of familiarity unbefitting a Champion of the Great Maker. When suitably motivated she demonstrates an admirable level of enthusiasm for the eradication of the enemies of the Great Maker. Consideration should be given to manufacturing such motivating threats in the event the enemies of the Great Maker evade our ever watchful eyes unduly long, to better keep Incandescent Ray of Judgement's attention better focused on the will of the Great Maker.

Her cult of personality is growing and should be monitored for deviancy. Despite her short operational lifetime she has demonstrated herself a potent propaganda tool and an extremely capable combat asset, so the primary project objectives have been met, but these design flaws should be studied and corrected in future projects. Given her value to the Theomachracy, corrective re-education should be exhausted before any consideration of project termination.

Anima Effect: By reflexively spending five motes, Shining Ones may charge their bodies with golden lightning for a scene. This energy visibly surges at the point of contact whenever they strike in close combat, while projectiles crackle with a destructive nimbus as they race toward targets. This power adds the character’s Essence to the raw damage of all attacks. It activates automatically at no cost whenever an Alchemical’s anima reaches the 11+ level of display.

Charisma Charms

Cost: 12m, 1wp [1m]; Mins: Charisma 5, Essence 3; Type: Simple (Speed 5 in long ticks)
Keywords: Combo-OK, Obvious, Servitude, Social Duration: Instant
Prerequisite Charms: Any Charisma Augmentation
This Charm takes the form of a delicate half torc anchored by a rivet in the throat. The Champion makes a social attack against a single target within one yard using ([Charisma or Manipulation] + Presence), in which he extols the virtues of his Motivation. Any Virtue channel applied to this attack adds successes instead of dice. If the attack succeeds, the target’s Motivation is temporarily sup- pressed and replaced by the Alchemical’s own Motivation. Immediately and at any point thereafter, the target may pay four Willpower to reassert her own values. (This cost can be paid in installments.) Alternatively, the target can change his own Motivation to accept the imposed purpose as a true change. Not only does this change not cost experience, but the sense of renewed purpose restores all spent Willpower the first time this happens in a scene. Slight changes in the wording of a Motivation are permitted where logical—such as an Alchemical with a Motivation of “Be the greatest weapons inventor in history” imposing “Help [Alchemical
Name] be the greatest weapon inventor in history.”
Submodules:
Noetic Signal Booster (Essence 4): The Charm may be used at standard speaking range for a social attack. A second installation of this submodule at Essence 6 allows it to be used in conjunction with a Performance based attack, but an area- effect use wears off on its own after a day, even if unresisted.
Design Respinning Upgrade (Essence 5): Any extra who permanently accepts an imposed Motivation becomes a heroic character.

Strength Charms

Cost: 4m [1m]; Mins: Strength 3, Essence 2;
Type: Simple (Speed 5, DV -0)
Keywords: Combo-OK, Crippling, Knockback, Obvious Duration: One action
Prerequisite Charms: Any Physical Attribute Augmentation
This Charm takes the form of a pair of spherical crystal capacitors mounted in the Alchemical’s shoulders. When charged with Essence, the crystals flash brightly in a color characteristic of the Exalt’s anima before emitting a thunderclap and a torus of expanding force. All objects and individuals of approximately the same or smaller size than the Alchemical within a radius of (Strength + Essence) yards blasts back to the edge of the effect. Characters blasted back suffer a three-die internal penalty to all non-reflexive actions from the stunning force of the wave until the Al- chemical’s next action and drop all held weapons and items if they are extras. On top of this Crippling effect, victims without superhuman balance also fall prone automatically. The Champion is unaffected by the blast he emits.

Order-Asserting Pulse (Strength 4, Essence 3, 5xp): The Axiomatic energy released by the Charm is especially disruptive to creatures of the Void, increasing the duration of the Crippling penalty to two actions instead of one. Beings penalized this way also cannot rise from prone as part of a flurry and must devote their full effort to struggle to their feet. This submodule may be installed a second time at (Strength 6, Essence 4), removing the Axiomatic keyword by extending its benefits to all adversaries.

Holocaustic Fury Device (Strength 4, Essence 4): If the Alchemical pays an extra Willpower, the Charm’s energy burst is also superheated. The entire radius of effect can be spotted from 10 miles away barring obstruction and blazes as a white-hot bonfire of smoldering plasma (see Exalted, p. 131), burning victims caught in its energy once before they are hurled to the smoking edges. These flames last a minute before going out, though objects taken outside the radius immediately cease burning. Once ignited, the fire will not burn the Champion or his personal possessions until his next action, giving him a chance to escape unscathed. Hardier Alchemicals may use the burning zone as a sniper nest.

Cost: 6m; Mins: Strength 4, Essence 3;
Type: Supplemental
Keywords: Combo-OK, Crippling, Knockback, Obvious Duration: One action
Prerequisite Charms: Toroidal Shockwave Catalyst
This Charm functions almost identically to its prerequi- site but momentarily folds space to designate the impact point of any ranged attack as the epicenter of its shockwave. All submodules installed for Toroidal Shockwave Catalyst may also be used to enhance this Charm. Because the blast does not emerge from the Champion, he is equally vulnerable to it if he detonates its power too close to himself.

In moments of critical necessity, intrinsic competence can receive exponential augmentation. This Charm may be purchased once for each of the nine Attributes, allowing motes to add dice to any Attribute-based action like the First Excellency of the Solar Exalted (see Exalted, p. 183). This Charm and other Attribute Augmentations are Excellencies with another name. The term Excellency was not coined until after Autochthon fashioned the Alchemical blueprints, however, so Champions still use his original nomenclature.

Prerequisite Charms: None
For areas of endeavor integral to an Alchemical’s designated legend, temporary boosting via mote expenditure is too inefficient. This Charm may purchased for any of the Alchemical’s Attributes and may be installed up to (Essence ÷ 2, rounded up) times per Attribute, though the Exalt need commit Personal Essence to only the first installation. Each installation increases the maximum value that the Exalt can have for the Attribute in question and provides one additional dot of that trait. Attribute dots supplied by this Charm do not count toward the experience cost to raise the Attribute, but count as natural dots for all other purposes, including raising the cap for other Attribute Augmentations. The enhancements provided by this Charm are Obvious at all times; the glittering web of electromorphic filaments tracing the head of an Alchemical with boosted Intelligence are every bit as distinctive as the pneumatic musculature of an Exalt with improved Strength.
Example: An Alchemical with Dexterity 4, Essence 3 installs this Charm twice, raising the Attribute cap from 5 to 7 and raising his effective Dexterity to 6. If he refitted his Dexterity to take advantage of the unused dot of ceiling by improving the rating without this Charm, it would cost experience as if he were purchasing a fifth dot rather than a seventh.

This Charm takes the form of a complex mechanical assembly in the Alchemical’s spine. When activated, it reduces by one the Speed of any action of Speed 4+, to a minimum of 3. This Charm may benefit any Attribute-based action for which the character has an installed Augmentation. Physical actions become highly precise and efficient, cognition occurs with the mind briefly cleansed of all distractions, and speech becomes clipped and slightly rushed as the Alchemical makes his points quickly and concisely.

Prerequisite Charms: Any Stamina Augmentation
When charged with Essence, crystal lattices embedded in the Alchemical’s skin sculpt her anima into an impenetrable barrier. This luminous force field obviates stealth at the level of an eight- to 10-mote banner display.
This mobile barrier adjusts itself to the Alchemical’s movements, imposing no penalty on any of her actions. It offers an ongoing protection of 20B/15L/10A Hardness, deflecting all but the mightiest attacks in crackling discharges of Essence. Yet, the first time an attack manages to overwhelm the barrier’s Hardness, the Charm involuntarily deactivates itself and can’t be reactivated until the Alchemical spends

Motic Field Stabilizers: Installing this submodule reduces the Charm’s activation cost to four motes and extends its duration to Indefinite. The shield also does not glow and is not Obvious by default, but becomes so on any tick that it stops damage.

Keywords: Combo-OK, Obvious, Stackable Duration: Indefinite
Prerequisite Charms: Any Stamina Augmentation
The Exalt’s body is optimized to endure one of the six elements native to the Machine God, affording immunity to environmental damage. At the time of purchase, the Alchemical gains one of the following elemental submodules for free. Each elemental submodule requires a separate Charm activation to bring online, but the cost of each concurrent activation past the first is only two motes. The Charm may
be activated while unconscious or otherwise inactive.
In aggregate, this Charm is comprehensive. All envi- ronmental threats fall under the header of some submodule, with specific assignment of categorically vague hazards falling to the discretion of the Storyteller. When another character deliberately causes or uses environmental effects with intent
to harm the Alchemical, this Charm does not protect her.
Submodules:
Crystal: The character is immune to environmental damage from “natural” or mineral sources, most of which
may only be found in Creation. Examples include landslides or cave-ins, bone-storms in the Underworld, thorny plants or being stepped on by Mount Mostath. Additionally, the Champion gains the effects of Integrity-Protecting Prana (see Exalted, p. 199) as long as the Charm is active.
Lightning: This variant prevents injury from fire, lightning and other raw discharges of energy.
Metal: The Chosen is immunized to environmental damage deriving from metal, which in Creation is largely restricted to First Age traps. In Autochthonia it includes huge man-chewing gears, magnetically charged chambers full of flying shrapnel, slamming hydraulic presses, and countless other hazards.
Oil: Acid and other chemicals cannot harm the Champion.
Smoke: The Exalt enjoys immunity to Poison effects.
Steam: Extremes of temperature or pressure do not harm the Alchemical.
Sixfold Transcendence Synergy (All six elemental submodules, 1xp): The Champion can activate all six permutations with a single Charm activation for a flat cost of 10 motes.
Environmental Dominance (Essence 4, 4xp): This sub- module eliminates the exception made for other characters’ deliberation and intent, fully immunizing the Alchemical from active categories of environmental damage. Direct, non-environmental damage (such as a sword to the face) continues to injure the Exalt normally.

The Exalt has crystalline amulets inserted into major nerve clusters, designed to regulate and mute pain signals as necessary, though he retains full tactical awareness of his injuries. This Charm reduces all wound penalties by (Stamina
÷ 2, rounded up).
Submodules:
Emergency Damage Compensators (Essence 4): If the wound penalty reduction afforded by the Charm exceeds the Exalt’s actual wound penalty, the wound penalty is not ignored, but reversed, becoming bonus dice to all non- reflexive physical actions and Virtue rolls (including actions enhanced by Virtue channels). This bonus counts against Charm dice limits.
Pain Determinism (Stamina 6, Essence 5): This submodule allows the Exalt to deliberately regulate his Pain Suppression Nodes, canceling all wound penalties and ensuring automatic reversal if he has Emergency Damage Compensators installed. The Champion hurts only if he wishes it.

The Champion fortifies his body through the installation of armored plates, redundant organs, metal bones and reinforcing struts. This Charm adds either two -1 health levels or three -2 health levels, configured at the time of installation, and may be installed up to (Essence) times. Installations past the first two require no installation cost.
Essence 6+ Alchemicals gain access to more extensive modes of reinforcement and can reconfigure all installations of this Charm to provide three -1 or four -2 health levels per installation.
Like all Ox-Body Technique equivalents, this Charm cannot be learned through the Eclipse, Moonshadow or Fiend anima abilities.

As a complex system of artificial flesh patches and other mechanisms, this Charm betrays no outward signs of its presence. It is designed to physically conceal non-Internal Alchemical Charms, giving as many of them as desired the Internal keyword for the duration of the effect. Affected devices retract and compress under the Exalt’s skin through compartment panels, while her claylike flesh morphs and spreads to cover the area they previously occupied. As usual, Obvious Internal Charms reveals themselves for the duration of use, though only to the degree that is necessary to perform the Obvious function. To change which Charms are hidden, the Charm must be reflexively deactivated and then reactivated normally.
As a final benefit, if all of the Alchemical’s Charms have the Internal keyword (whether naturally or from use of this Charm) and she is human-sized, she may weight of hidden Charms so that her heavy tread does not betray her nature. In toto, the changes allow her to pass as mortal. An Exalt disguised this way may even retract or modify the appearance of her soulgem as a reflexive action.

Prerequisite Charms: Any Appearance Augmentation
A tiny crystal nodule wrapped in hair-thin filaments of red and green jade is implanted in the Exalt’s brain. When tapped, this vast database of sexual techniques and provocative innuendo allows the Alchemical to project a subconscious impression of focused carnal intent, making her an object of intense desire. She doubles the maximum MDV bonus or penalty she can inflict or benefit from based on difference
in Appearance.
In addition to radiating sexuality, the Exalt becomes
peerless at the art of lovemaking. Hypnotic body rhythms and inhuman muscle control first entrance partners during the act of consummation, then bring them to exhausting cli- max, leaving them smitten and easily influenced. Any social attack by the Alchemical whispered in the ear mid-coitus or up to one hour following worms deep into the target’s psyche, acting as unnatural mental influence that costs two Willpower to resist. If the attack aims to create an Intimacy of lust or infatuation toward the Alchemical, the cost is three Willpower instead, and the attack is undodgeable. If the Exalt imposed unwanted sex on the target through physical force, none of these benefits apply.
Submodules:
Ultimate Ardor Upgrade (Appearance 6, Essence 5): With this submodule installed, there is no limit on the benefits from differing Appearance, so an Appearance 8 Alchemical receives a +7 MDV bonus when socially attacked by an Appearance 1 character, et cetera. The cost to resist a post-coital lust or infatuation Intimacy also increases to five Willpower, and the Charm’s duration increases to Indefinite.

While transcendent phoenix pinions are well suited to tactical flight, they require a constant influx
of Essence to keep active, and their ostentatious design makes stealth nigh-impossible. Wings of the raptor represent an improvement in personal flight technology, taking the form of exquisite floor-length capes fastened at the throat with ornate clasps that hold a single hearthstone socket. During the High First Age, the capes were often embroidered as iconic tapestries aesthetically appropriate to their intended wearer. Those made for Solars were usually pure white with elaborate golden sunburst mandalas centered on the back, quite different from the subdued midnight-blue Sidereal capes sparkling with their inset constellations of diamond beads.
Characters must commit one mote to these wings in order to attune them, but doing so does noth- ing except allow the clasp to function as a hearthstone amulet. Activating the wings requires a reflexive commitment of 10 additional motes. This causes the cape to flare back and unravel as though in a sudden gale, reshaping itself into a pair of great wings like those of a bird (or bat) that stretch six yards from wingtip to wingtip. With the wings active, the wearer can fly at five times his usual running speed or hover with slow and graceful beats. Outside of combat, he can accelerate faster, soaring at speeds up to 80 miles per hour. Because the wings are considered a natural extension of the body, wearers do not need to divert actions to aerial maneuvers as with piloting a skyship. Moreover, all maneuvering rolls required by negative environmental conditions (such as flying through a hurricane or weaving through a narrow canyon) are made reflexively using a full pool of the character’s (Dexterity + Athletics + 6). Finally, the characters Dodge DV increases by three in flight owing to the artifact’s extreme maneuverability.
Wings of the raptor have additional powers depending on the magical material used in their clasp: Orichalcum: At will, the wearer may command the wings to glow with a brilliant golden light that surrounds him in a halo of glory, adding three to his Appearance rating.

This specialized artifact weapon is custom designed to
perfectly integrate with Transcendent Multimodal Artifact Matrix (see The Manual of Exalted Power—The Alchemicals,
p. 166), so much so that the device's delicate motonic circuitry is
incapable of independent operation. When deployed for a five mote
attunement, the device transforms one of the character's hands and
forearm into a the bulbous barrel of a heavy cannon mechanism. Within
the machine, pneumatically-driven clockwork gears turn banks of
capacitors in opposing rotation, building up charges of super-heated
ball lightning in the colors of the
Champion's anima. After each shot, the cannon audibly vents jets of
steam from the wrist area to prevent overheating.

Essence Pulse Cannons use the base statistics below and gain the
benefit of the appropriate thrown weapon Magical Material bonuses
(though wielded with Archery). Each shot costs one mote for ammunition
and can inflict bashing or lethal damage as desired. In the former
case, damage never spills over past Incapacitated to become lethal and
so cannot do worse than knock the target out. Lethal attacks
disintegrate slain or destroyed targets, destroying all
non-indestructible objects carried by them. Physical disintegration
does not affect the target spiritually (slain spirits to reform
normally, etc.). Non-magical armor predominantly constructed of metal
conducts the plasma blasts, reducing soak to one third (rounded up)
rather than the piercing tag's usual half.

Variant models of this weaponry exist. Hands-free subtle designs can
be mounted as miniaturized emitters implanted in the eyes, as shoulder
turret cannons or any number of other options. Regardless of the
specifics, such weapons only inflict 8L/12B due to their reduced size.
Siege Devastators are rated Artifact 3 and take the opposite approach,
with oversized cannons that impose a -2 mobility penalty that stacks
with any from armor and blasts that ignore the soak of non-magical
metal armor entirely. Targets are also hurled back and suffer injury if
slammed into objects as though the attack was enhanced by Heaven
Thunder Hammer (see Exalted, p. 242), though knockback damage caps at 25L.

First created by Autochthon and widely duplicated during
the First Age, these forms of armor were specifically designed to aid and protect the mighty Celestial Exalted in battle. This type of armor is also the model from which the Armors of the Immaculate Dragons (see pp. 84-87) were derived. Each suit of celestial armor is a specific creation designed to aid a particular Celestial Exalt. The following description covers the basic framework used in the most advanced suits of armor. Unlike the less powerful dragon armor, celestial battle armor incorporates self-repairing enchantments so that it does not require periodic maintenance.
Each suit of celestial battle armor requires a commitment of 10 motes of Essence and a level-3+ hearthstone to power the armor’s various enchantments. This hearthstone provides no other benefit. The armor has three hearthstone sockets, and the wearer can select which one is rendered inactive by powering the armor as a diceless miscellaneous action.
In addition to the following list of features, each of these suits of armor also add in the appropriate magical materials bonus. Because they are only made for Celestial Exalts, no celestial battle armor is made of jade. Terrestrial animas are not sufficiently powerful to use this armor.
When worn, wearers of any suit of celestial battle armor gain the following benefits:
Filtration Baffles*: +2 bonus to Resistance against poison or all forms of disease (including wound infection); one-hour supply of fresh air (refilling the tank in fresh air takes one minute per 10 minutes of air added to the tank).
Sensory Augmentation Visor*: As a reflexive action, the wearer gains a +2 bonus to Awareness. Alternatively, the wearer can reflexively activate Essence sight (see p. 85) for three motes per scene, which also automatically pierces any dragon armor cloaking device. In addition, the lenses that provide Essence sight for this armor are coated with thin films made from a mixture of orichalcum, starmetal and soulsteel. As a result, when the character activates the armor’s Essence sight, she can also see unmanifested spirits, ghosts, living beings and enchanted objects (including walking dead and automatons) as glowing presences. In addition, the wearer can see the Essence-flows of demesnes and manses at the range of her normal vision and can easily tell the power of these locations and if their Essence flows have been properly capped.
Exomuscular Fibers*: +2 dots to Strength for feats of strength, calculating jump distance and inflicting damage with attacks.
Peripatetic Greaves: Doubled movement rate; 10mph marching movement rate.
Reinforced Gauntlets/Boots: As weapons, the gauntlets and boots can parry lethal attacks without a stunt (as an exception to the standard “N” tag), and have the following respective statistics:
Name Speed Acc. Damage Def. Rate Tags
Gauntlet 5 +1 +5B +2 3 N
Boot 5 +0 +6B -2 2 N Adaptive Camouflage Subsystem*: +2 bonus to Stealth while moving or +3 while stationary. This ability specifically defends against Essence sight. In addition, this color-changing feature can also be used to provide the armor with the appropriate colors and imagery for parades and other formal occasions.

Voice of Command (orichalcum only): The armor’s helmet contains enchantments that duplicate the effects of a pectoral of resplendent speeches (see p. 64).
Enhanced Durability: The armor gains another +3L/+3B soak and +2L/2B hardness.

Four collapsible prongs are housed in one of the Exalt’s limbs.

Alchemical Exalted rarely concern themselves with training to the same degree as the Chosen of Creation. Like most aspects of Alchemical existence, such competency may be installed and summarily discarded when no longer convenient. This Charm may be installed repeatedly for any Attribute, and each installation links the Attribute in question to expressions of a particular Ability. Whenever an Alchemical with this Charm takes an action using its Attribute/Ability pair, she replaces her normal rating in that Ability with its maximum rating and treats this value as a natural trait. The actual Ability rating does not change outside of valid actions, so this Charm can’t be used to bypass the requirements for Martial Arts Charms. If a character has a maximum natural rating in an Ability and retains vat access, she may trade out obsolete purchases of this Charm for another Alchemical Charm based on the same Attribute at no experience cost, removing the Augmentation from her panoply to substitute the replacement. All experience spent on submodules for a traded-out Charm is refunded but can be spent only toward acquisition of Alchemical Charms or submodules.

Keywords: Combo-OK, Obvious
Duration: One scene
Prerequisite Charms: Subcutaneous/Exoskeletal Armor Plating
This Charm’s outer appearance depends on the prerequisite upon which it builds. For internal assemblies, a spiral pattern appears to have been seared into the back of the Exalt’s arm, centering on an orichalcum nodule. In either case, the Charm hums and crackles upon activation, projecting a shaped potentiality field that appears as a slender wedge of radiance. When presented with an incoming hazard, this field telescopes open into a shield etched from solid light that provides a +3 DV cover bonus against all attacks without any associated fatigue or mobility penalties. Unexpected attacks bypass this protection. The active shield disrupts stealth like an anima banner at the eight- to 10-mote level.

Stamina Charms

Type: Simple (Speed 5)
Keywords: Obvious, Stackable
Duration: One scene
Prerequisite Charms: None
When operating within their preferred arenas of competence, Alchemicals demonstrate effortless puissance. Upon activating this Charm, the Exalt temporarily increases the rating of the Attribute in question by one dot. This temporary dot counts as a bonus die from Charms and can’t exceed the limits for such. While in use, this Charm envelops the boosted organ(s) in a distinctive corona of Essence, making it abundantly clear that the Attribute is functioning at superhuman levels. This Charm carries a one-Willpower surcharge the first time it is activated in a scene. Further activations waive this cost.

Prerequisite Charms: None
This Charm increases the storage capacity of the Alchemical’s Essence reservoir, adding 10 motes of Peripheral Essence per installation (to a maximum number of times equal to the Alchemical’s Essence rating).

Cost: — [1m or 0m]; Mins: Stamina 3, Essence 2;
Type: Permanent
Keywords: Stackable
Duration: Permanent
Prerequisite Charms: Any Stamina Augmentation
This Charm has two configurations, one of which must be selected at the time of purchase. In its Subcutaneous configuration, it takes the form of a fully articulated mesh of dense subdermal plates and is Internal. This mode provides +2L/3B soak and +1L/2B Hardness per installation, and is considered natural soak. Regardless of configuration, Alchemicals may harbor a number of simultaneous installations equal to their Essence and may mix-and-match armor types within this total limit. The first two cost one mote to install, but subsequent installations require no commitment.

Charisma Charms

Type: Reflexive (Step 1 and 2)
Keywords: Combo-OK
Duration: Instant
Prerequisite Charms: None
Some circumstances demand maximized effort. Most require the steadier hand of calculated competence. This Charm may be purchased once per Attribute and adds bonus successes to a roll or directly adds to a static rating using that Attribute.

Cost: 12m, 1wp [1m]; Mins: Charisma 5, Essence 3;
Type: Simple (Speed 5 in long ticks)
Keywords: Combo-OK, Obvious, Servitude, Social
Duration: Instant
Prerequisite Charms: Any Charisma Augmentation
This Charm takes the form of a delicate half torc anchored by a rivet in the throat. The Champion makes a social attack against a single target within one yard using ([Charisma or Manipulation] + Presence), in which she extols the virtues of her Motivation. Any Virtue channel applied to this attack adds successes instead of dice. If the attack succeeds, the target’s Motivation is temporarily suppressed and replaced by the Alchemical’s own Motivation. Immediately and at any point thereafter, the target may pay four Willpower to reassert his own values. (This cost can be paid in installments.) Alternatively, the target can change his own Motivation to accept the imposed purpose as a true change. Not only does this change not cost experience, but the sense of renewed purpose restores all spent Willpower the first time this happens in a scene. (Slight changes in the wording of a Motivation are permitted where logical.)

Prerequisite Charms: Any Charisma Augmentation
Luminescent artificial glands are implanted beneath the Alchemical’s skin. When this Charm is used to supplement a social attack, the glands divert a trickle of power from her anima to transform the way light and shadow play across her body, producing deep shadows and bright planes. She looks both inspiring and intimidating, like a commemorative statue or propaganda poster. Few are able to resist the dictates of such a starkly heroic figure. This Charm can enhance any social attack intended to convince a single target to take some action to support a social group to which he or the Alchemical belongs. Resisting this influence costs two Willpower, though the attack can be natural or unnatural depending on the intended force of the Champion’s words. If the Exalt channels Conviction to aid the attack, add his rating as bonus successes rather than dice.

Prerequisite Charms: Any Charisma Augmentation
The Alchemical has an artificial complex implanted into her brain, attached to a tiny transmitter diode located just above her ear. It emits a subliminal pulse when triggered, tipping popular opinion toward an agenda the Exalt promotes. This Charm functions identically to Taboo Inflicting Diatribe but with the following exceptions: It may be used only to encourage the adoption of a new course of action that does not conflict with the group’s current Policy. The new agenda remains part of the group’s Policy until its leader spends a total of six Loyalty to remove it. Only one Loyalty can be spent in this manner per day.

Prerequisite Charms: Any Charisma or Manipulation Augmentation
Bands of the Champion’s magical material are injected into the skin of her face, forming hypnotic patterns reminiscent of war paint. When suffused with Essence, the patterns reinforce attempts at forging unity. This Charm may supplement any social attack based on an Attribute for which the Exalt has an installed Augmentation, provided she attempts to convince one or more targets to favorably regard a social group separate from but roughly equivalent to a social group to which the targets belong. The attack can use Presence if only one target is present, but it must use Performance otherwise. If using Performance, only targets who are members of an equivalent group are affected by the Charm’s power, though other witnesses could still be moved by the unmodified social attack. Those affected by the Charm feel as directed until they pay three Willpower to shake off the unnatural Emotion effect (or one Willpower if the selected social group has taken actions that directly damage their artificial reputation). For example, the members of one work shift might be convinced to like members of a separate work shift, or citizens of one nation might become well inclined toward citizens of another nation. Non-equivalent groups are not valid targets, though. This Charm cannot help convince a factory full of Populat workers to support their local Tripartite Assembly.

This Charm fits into a circular port at the base of the Alchemical’s skull, with 10 memory crystals housed in a wheel at its edges, each painstakingly cut to contain one thousand facets. The device enables the Champion to learn, invent and use martial arts Charms by physically housing an infinite capacity library of martial techniques and transcendent epiphanies. Like a Weaving Engine, this Charm can’t be removed once installed.

Intelligence Charms

Cost: —; Mins: Intelligence 3, Essence 1;
Type: Permanent Keywords: Internal
Duration: Permanent
Prerequisite Charms: None
White jade circuitry imprinted onto the surface of the brain circumvents its logic centers to automatically reject certain lines of argument. This Charm is identical to Righteous Lion Defense, with the following change: Rather than making inviolate an Intimacy to one of her visions or ideals, the Alchemical must choose an Intimacy dedicated to the service of something larger than herself. This duty may be to a community, an organization, a social class or even a mission, but it cannot be an individual and must not originate with the Exalt. The greater good reinforced by this Charm can benefit the Alchemical, but only as she is a component of that good. If society prospers, the Exalt may prosper, but this Charm affords no protection if she seeks her prosperity over the good of others or ignores her duty in order to pursue selfish ends.

Supernatural Martial Arts
Torquing Caliper Actuation Style

Cost: 3m; Mins: Martial Arts 2, Essence 1;
Type: Reflexive
Keywords: Combo-OK, Obvious
Duration: Instant
Prerequisite Charms: None
When the character leaps up or toward her opponent, add her Martial Arts score to her Join Battle dice pool, as well as to the maximum number of yards she can leap. This Charm must be activated before the character’s player rolls her Join Battle action, and (as normal) the character can jump only once per action. At any time in a fight, the character may add her Martial Arts in yards to her Move; this counts as a natural action and not a Charm activation.

Along with her permanent Perfected Lotus Matrix, Flowering usually keeps a Stamina Augmentation, at least one level of Subcutaneous Armor, her Hierarchical Dogma Lock and her Auxiliary Essence Storage Unit installed full-time.
Functions as the Unsurpassed Sanxian described in Oadenol's Codex, page 35, except that the Autochthonian version is a resonator guitar made of steel and brass.

While all Exalted desire protection from harm, those who favor certain martial arts styles cannot combine armor with their chosen fighting style. In addition, Exalts are sometimes forced to appear in ceremonies, diplomatic meetings or similar situations where wearing armor is considered rude or unmannered, or proof of either lack of trust or aggressive intent. While some Exalted wear chain shirts, others choose an even less obvious form of protection. This artifact consists of a pair of bracers and a pair of anklets that are all made from one of the fi ve magical materials. The left bracer contains a socket for a single hearthstone, and both the bracers and the anklets appear relatively delicate and extremely ornate.

To use this item, the wearer must wear all four of these items and commit five motes of Essence to them. In addition, the wearer must wear these artifacts next to her skin and cannot wear armor or any other heavy garment made of metal, hard leather or any other inflexible material. The user may, however, dress in anything from light clothing to the most elaborate robes. If any attack is made upon the wearer, the discreet Essence armor instantly and reflexively activates before the attack strikes the Exalt. When activating, the artifact automatically draws three motes from the Exalt's Essence pool. The Exalt can deliberately choose not to spend these motes, but in this case, the artifact remains inactive and does not help reduce the severity of the blow. Once activated, the bracers remain active for one full scene, unless the wearer dismisses their protection earlier. When Discreet Essence Arrmor activates, it covers the wearer in a glowing sheet of Essence that is obviously magical. This glowing sheath raises the difficulty of all Stealth rolls by two, including Stealth attempts aided by Charms. If the user attempts to stack Discreet Essence Armor with any other type of armor, the bracers will not function. However, this artifact is specifically usable with Charms that require the wearer to not wear armor, and gains all of the appropriate magical material bonuses for the material out of which it is made.

Jade Discreet Essence Armor
Soak: 5L/5B, Hardness 2L/2B, Mobility: -0, Fatigue: 0, Attune: 5

Jade shelters its bearer with the strength of the five elements. Jade armor subtracts two points from the Damage of any environmental hazard its wearer suffers.

This jade-metal core looks like a smooth nugget of polished iron. Its bearer can vividly recall (and mentally relive) any particularly positive and will-reinforcing memory she desires. These recollections fire her resolve, enabling her to recover one point of temporary Willpower each day. This is in addition to any Willpower recovered through the normal, daily Conviction roll. Flowering's Memorial Iron is set in her wrackstaff.

This ring of threadlike golden wires has orichalcum beads woven into it that hum softly. The device decreases the user’s social attack Speed by one. When its beneficiary charges it with three motes, her current social attack carries the weight of the Great Maker’s will behind it and is treated as unnatural mental influence. Flowering wears this core in her left-hand bracer.

The Exalted version of the staff is simply a long rod of metal alloyed with one of the magical materials (in Flowering's case, jade). When energized with Essence, the wrackstaff can deliver tremendous, crushing blows. The staff is carved to give the wielder a better grip (as well as for ornament). One end bears a sturdy chisel-point while the other is thicker and heavier to increase the force of impact. A wrackstaff usually includes one setting for a hearthstone in the middle of its length.

A wrackstaff is no mere club. To use it properly, the wielder needs basic martial arts training with stick and staff weapons. The wielder holds the wrackstaff in both hands so she can quickly turn the weapon in any direction, guard, parry, spin and thrust. The chisel end deals lethal damage and punches through armor. The blunt end delivers powerful, smashing blows.

Jade Wrackstaff ("Reason")
Speed: 4, Accuracy: +2, Damage: +5L/13B, Defense: +2, Rate 3, Mins: Strength ●● MA ●, Attune: 5, Cost: 2, Tags: 2, M, R, P (when attacking with chisel end)

The standard bonuses for a Jade Caste who attunes a jade artifact reflect the Stone Hands' innate qualities of preparedness and toughness. However, the Scholar Ama Fiton has developed a method of treating jade to bring out other latent aspects of its elemental nature. Flowering's green jade staff adds +1 to damage and absorbs one mote of Essence from living creatures that take damage from the attack, transferring it to her instead.
