nubbins themselves make the Alchemical more difficult to damage in any significant way and add 1L/+2B to the Alchemical’s soak as long as they are installed. When activated they can be use in one of two ways either they can be deployed as a network of nano-machines that speed the healing process, in this case the charm remains active for a day, and each 5 motes adds another healing rate (i.e. with 5 motes the Alchemical heals twice as fast, with 10 three times, with 15 four times, etc) In this configuration they do not additionally aid the Alchemical’s Soak. Deployed in their armor configuration the plates are very hard and each 3 motes spent activating them adds +1L/+2B to the Alchemical’s Lethal soak for the rest of the scene. No more motes may be spent activating that function than the alchemical has stamina x 3.

(requiring only 2 or 3 success on a crafts roll

to make) almost instantly with the proper

materials. The alchemical may slide in a mass

of steel close their chest cavity, almost

instantly open it back up and withdraw a sword

or plowshare. Alternatively it can be used to

repair a more complex item that is damaged,

such as an exceptional sword. So long as the

Alchemical has the raw materials needed the

repair is instant. Alternatively it can be used

to create a perfect counterpart to an object

that the Alchemical can see, a blade for an

existing sword hilt, or a key to fit a specific

lock.

The Ultimate Chest Cavity upgrade, this allows

the Alchemical to produce a complex

autonomous unit from their own flesh. The Alchemical need not have any resources available to use this charm. The health level cost of this charm is an out-of order –2 health level at the top of the –2’s area. It incurs no penalty unless the Alchemical runs out of –1 health levels normally. If a –2 is not available then the Alchemical pays the cost in the regular order and it is shifted to a –2 when possible. The Health Level does not heal as long as the Charm persists. Activating this Charm

will, and it is to store objects within

themselves. Due to some odd elsewhere

geometries they can store objects of seemingly

ridiculous sizes and shapes so long as the total

mass does not exceed 5 pounds per point of

stamina that the Alchemical possesses.

Prerequisite Charms: Chest Cavity Storage

Unit The Alchemical’s Chest cavity storage unit is fitted with a variety of specialized and automated tools. Anything stored within the cavity may be worked by the Alchemical at the same time as the alchemical

performs other actions. This does not reduce

the time between the appropriate crafts rolls,

but it does allow them to be made while the

Alchemical does other things. It does not

increase the capacity of the Storage area. The

Alchemical is presumed to have the tools

needed to perform whatever crafts they

perform. This means that an Alchemical could

place thread within the chest cavity and later

that day remove a fully made toga so long as

they make the necessary rolls to produce it.

The motes must remain committed throughout

the construction process. Alternatively the

cavity can operate for a single scene (about an

hour), to refine raw matter (iron ore, cotton

plants, etc) into refined materials, (Steel,

Cotton, etc). This Charm can only be used in

conjunction with the Crafts ability and is

therefore incompatible with artifact creation.

the chest cavity opens and the automata

Alchemical remotely unless it is given Charms

that would allow it to do so, though it can

speak. The charm only ends when the

Alchemical Exalted recovers the Automata (or

its remains) and places them within its chest

cavity to be reclaimed by its body, or when the

automata is totally annihilated. When the

automaton is reclaimed the Alchemical downloads all its memories into its own mind, as if they were his own. The Automata appears to be made of brass and the magical material of the Alchemical’s caste. The automata’s stats are assigned by the Alchemical Exalted during its creation as follows.

to manager its reflexes and movements the

Alchemical Exalted can make an immediate

counterattack upon any opponent attacking it.

Alternatively it can be used to attempt to

reflexively and aggrievedly outmaneuver the

opponent; when attacked the Alchemical may

take a free movement action to anywhere

within their essence in yards of their current

position, so long as there is no physical reason they could not reach that spot. This can be used in a number of ways, possibly to break a multi-attack action or make the Alchemical’s next attack from behind under the correct circumstances.

down the back of their body to their Personal

Gravity Manipulation Apparatus on their legs.

It allows the Alchemical Exalted to generate a

pulse of intense gravity and project it up

through the Gravity Pulse Wave Generator, and

project it at a single target. The Alchemical

rolls Strength + Archery or Strength +

Athletics as they prefer to target the shot.

This attack is explicitly compatible with

precision targeting system even though it is

not a Dexterity based dice pool. If the target

successfully dodges the attack, then it has no

effect, however if they parry the attack or if it

hits, then the target must immediately make an

opposed reflexive Strength + Athletics roll

with the Alchemical in question or suffer a

number of yards of knockback equal to the Alchemical’s Essence x their additional successes on the opposed roll. Additionally if the attack hits, it deals Essence + Strength raw lethal damage plus additional attack successes. It has a range of Essence x 10 yards.

purchased a second time, then it may be

Prerequisite Charms: None This charm is installed in the Alchemical’s temple and glows faintly with a pale blue light when activated. It flawlessly determines what the target truly wants at the moment. Not deep-seated long-term desire, but what they want to get out of you or whoever else they're around. You must be in conversation with the target to use this charm on them. The ability of the Fair Folk or other Charms to hide the subject’s true intentions automatically foils this Charm. Alternately, it can be activated to

cloud your own true goals by giving off the

wrong signals, this flawlessly defeats the

regular usage of this charm and raises the

difficulty of any socialize roll to detect your

true motivations by your wits score. If the

target fails the roll then they form a wrong

conclusion of your choice about what it is you

want.

alchemical by their essence score.

Alternatively it can be activated as a form of

This Charm allows the Alchemical to remotely

transmit matter to elsewhere. It can be used in

a variety of ways. It is targeted with a Wits +

Thrown roll. It can be used to remove an

object from an enemies grasp (Requiring a call

shot.) retrieve an object from a place that

cannot be reached (Requires a successful Wits

+ Thrown check) or to gorge a chunk out of an

enemy and send it to elsewhere (standard hit roll on Wits + Thrown) if the attack is parried then the parrying weapon is automatically transported into elsewhere, unless it is made of one of the five magical materials. If successful the attack deals the Alchemical’s Essence + Wits in levels of lethal

damage. It has a maximum range of Essence x

10 yards. Once an object has been sent to

Elsewhere this way, the Alchemical can use

Personal Trans-Dimensional Facilitator to

bring the object from Elsewhere to their own

hand. When used as a weapon it deals essence

dice of aggravated damage to the target.

Alternatively this charm can be used to

transfer something the Alchemical has stored

in Elsewhere (either with this charm or

Personal Trans-Dimensional Facilitator) to a

target point. While it cannot be made to materialize inside another object it can still be very useful in poisoning etc…

When activated it enables the Alchemical to

reduce fear by controlling their hormones, this adds a number of dice equal to their wits score to a single willpower or valor roll to resist fear. Alternatively it can be used to shut down the Alchemical’s emotional responses, reducing the number of successes gained on emotion manipulating charms against them by a number

charm cannot have more mass than 3 x

Permanent Essence Pounds. Objects can only

be retrieved if the exact charm was used to

store them, however if the Alchemical has this

charm removed and installed in another, then

that Exalted can summon back the objects

stored by the other. The Alchemical must be holding the object to store it. This charm appears to be a small patch of silver installed on the back of the Alchemical’s hand.

They simply vanish, and re-appear in Elsewhere. They can leave Elsewhere reappearing exactly where they left from by activating this charm again. If

an object has been placed where they would

otherwise reappear they appear in the nearest

unoccupied position. Unless an opponent or

observer is extremely familiar with Alchemical

Magic, it generally appears as though the

Alchemical has simply fled the scene by

vanishing or turned invisible. This charm can

also be used to enter a spirits sanctum in the

same was that Dematerializing can.

This Charm is an upgrade to the Virtuous

additional machinery and lenses. When

activated it allows the alchemical to perceive

heat, allowing them to see living creatures in

total darkness. It also makes it much harder to

hide from them, completely negative mundane

stealth attempts and giving the Alchemical

Exalted a number of additional dice equal to

their essence score in any contested roll vs.

magical stealth, unless it is purely mental in

nature. It prevents the Alchemical from

reading facial expressions etc, and they

automatically fail any socialize roll while this

charm is enacted. Alternatively it can be

activated in gamma vision mode ignoring all

organic substances such as people or living

creatures and replace the surrounding

landscape with a neutral, gray mindscape that

allows you to know inherently where things

This Charm allows an Alchemical to create a

permanent gateway across elsewhere between

Autochtonia and Creation. The Alchemical has

the piece installed and when it comes online

for the first (They pay the installation cost)

time they undergo a dimensional schism that

remains until the charm is removed. They gain

existence in Creation simultaneous to their

existence in Autochthonia, rising out of a rock

face or swamp, from the bottom of a lake or up

from underneath an abandoned farmhouse.

The location of their second existence is

random, unless there is a place they have

visited in Creation that they wish it to be. Both

the body in Autochthonia and in Creation are

the real one, charms installed or damage taken

at one end is immediately visible at the other,

etc. This Charm appears as a large doorway

big enough for a wagon to pass through. When

inactive it simply appears to be blocked by a

huge door (if this door is hacked through while

it is in this state only the innards of the

Alchemical will be found.) When active it leads

to a quarter mile long black metal corridor that

emerges through the same charm on the Alchemical’s body on the other end. It costs 1 mote to close or open the door and therefore the Conduit.

This charm is a small array of sockets linked

to the Auxiliary Essence Storage Unit, made of the same material as the Alchemical’s caste. It contains a number of slots equal to the Alchemical’s Essence score, and must be upgraded during the process of increasing their essence. Each slot can hold a single

hearthstone, and while they are socketed they

are considered fully attuned and their powers

are used normally.

meets the backbone. It allows the Alchemical

to expand the functions of the Deific

Remolding Processor in a number of ways. First the nano-machines can withdraw all the Alchemical’s charms within her, and alter her flesh tone to that of a normal human. This does not in anyway effect the Alchemical’s use of charms, however nor does it effect the flaring of their anima.

Activating the charm in this configuration costs

5 motes. The second function allows the

alchemical to sprout additional cybernetic

limbs and generally convert themselves into a

large battle machine. When in battle mode this

charm adds three feet to their height. It costs

10 motes to activate the charm in this

configuration. They loose all appearance

immediately, however they may allocate a

number of dots equal to their Appearance +

Essence when in this form. Each dot can

either be used to add a dot to strength or stamina, two points can be used to add one to the Alchemical’s Dexterity. One point can also be sacrificed to purchase an additional consideration, such as a pair of extra limbs, or a hand converted into a weapon made of the magical material of the Alchemical’s type. Some example considerations are listed below.

Extra Hands;

The Alchemical deploys a pair of Extra limbs.

They are fully functional and reduce all dice

pool penalties for multiple actions by 1 to a

minimum of 1, in addition to providing

additional ability to hold objects etc.

Tracks; The Alchemical’s legs transform into robust tracks, allowing them to move across even the roughest terrain, at three times their regular movement rate. They may not climb or jump however while their

legs are in this form.

Blade-Arm; One of the Alchemical’s limbs becomes a bladed weapon similar to a Daiklave made of the magical material associated with their caste. It has the following weapon statistics +4 Spd +2 Acc +8L Dmg +2 Def, plus the appropriate material

configurations. The primary function is to restructure the Alchemical’s head and face region entirely either making them look like someone else (Add a number of automatic successes to a disguise roll equal to the Alchemical’s essence rating.) or increasing their attractiveness (add a number of dots to the Alchemical’s appearance score equal to half their essence, raising it no higher than 5.) The Secondary function is to restructure the Alchemical’s body to make it more efficient for specific tasks, the filaments sprout mechanical boosters, and enhancers all over the Alchemical’s body; allowing them to move a number of dots between their physical attributes and appearance equal to their essence score.

This charm appears as a small band of bronze looping one of the Alchemical’s wrists. When activated it covers the Alchemical’s hand and converts it into any mundane piece of equipment or tool desired. Anything of a reasonable size from a lock pick to a sword blade can be produced. This allows the Alchemical Exalted great flexibility in a number of situations. The tool produced is always considered to be of exceptional quality and if used as a weapon enjoys the bonuses as if it were made of the Alchemical’s Caste material.

This charm takes the form of a small control

this one becomes more specialized rather than more general as it becomes more powerful. A

program and enhanced transformation unit for

the Corporeal Espionage Alternator, it allows

the Alchemical to assume a specific pre-

programmed combat form called the Battle

Crab. Activating this Charm immediately

overrides the effects of any active use of the

Corporeal Espionage Alternator. When

activated this charm causes the Alchemical to

undergo a radical transformation. They grow

as large as a Warstrider, and can wield

weapons of that scale. Their strength and

stamina scores are tripled, and they add their

appearance to their dexterity. Their legs

transform into six mechanical style crab legs,

and their movement rate is multiplied by 10.

They add their Essence score to their bashing;

lethal and even aggravated soak scores as

armor appears all over their body. This charm

is fully compatible with armor, as thousands of

tiny tools alter it to suit the new form.

bonus.

These are not the only possible considerations,

players and storytellers are encouraged to

create their own. When the alchemical buys

this charm they decide the parameters of the

alteration program for their battle form, and

once decided on it cannot be changed.

However for a cost equal to half the xp needed

to buy this charm a new program can be added

giving, the Alchemical an additional battle form

mode. As many different modes may be

possessed as the Alchemical has points of

essence. Upgrading an existing mode occurs

when the Alchemical raises their permanent

appearance score or essence, and costs no xp.

much the same way that the Idiomatic

Cohesion Instrument allows the Alchemical to

communicate with living beings. Alternatively

it can be activated to assess the targets

cultural and personal code of politeness and

etiquette allowing the Alchemical to ‘Fake’ the correct approach. As such the Alchemical may find herself assuming a strange posture or talking with an odd cadence to her voice. When used in this fashion it adds a number of dice equal to the Alchemical’s Charisma to any roll to negotiate or

deal with such creatures.

This charm is a circular implant just left of the

Idiomatic Cohesion Instrument and linked to it

by a fine wire. When activated it produces

sub-harmonic tones that induce feelings of

acceptance and pleasure in those listening.

The alchemical Exalted may add their

Charisma in automatic successes to any roll

that is based on performance, presence,

socialize or Bureaucracy (if it is person to

targets. Spirits, Fair Folk and the Undead are

An Idiomatic Cohesion Instrument is a tiny

nodule of burnished silver at the base of the

throat; it allows the Alchemical to bypass

spoken language entirely by creating a series

of sounds that directly stimulate the

communications portion of the brains of those

around them. This sounds like an odd

humming sound to the ear, by somehow those

in the area, simply know what the Alchemical

means. This is not a particularly sophisticated form of communication and cannot be used to perform great epics or the like, but it is sufficient for ‘Two gold coins for your daughter’, ‘Look out’ or ‘Back off’. Alternatively this Charm can be activated in such a way as to communicate soothing (or riling) thoughts into the primitive

minds of animals, allowing the Alchemical to

take a number of automatic successes equal to

their charisma score on any roll to control or

manipulate an animal, including ride rolls. This

Charm can only be used on regular living

targets in either mode, the Fae, undead, etc

are immune.

and this charm activated, the Alchemical attunes

itself with that targets thoughts, rolling

charisma + socialize, if successful they may

read the targets mind for a number of turns

equal to their essence rating. Alternatively the

Alchemical may attune themselves with the

lower parts of the targets brain allowing them

to tap into their nervous system, making them

aware of the targets movements before they

have even made them. This is a tremendous

advantage in combat, and ensures that any

dodge or parry made against a non-charm

enhanced attack during the period that this

charm is active is automatically successful

(Though it does not provide such a dodge or

block).

Alchemical’s with the Sub-Harmonic Dialogue Augmentation have large, pointed ears wrapped tightly with copper wire to receive signals, while speech directed out diverts through the Idiomatic Cohesion Instrument. When activated the Alchemical can communicate with any other Alchemical Exalted who has this charm within their Essence x 5 miles. The other Alchemical’s need not have the Charm activated to hear, but must activate it to reply. The Alchemical can speak to a particular target or targets, or to anyone within range. Unless the target replies there is no way to know if they received the transmission. Alternatively it can be used to lock onto the ‘brain-wave patterns’ of a target to which the Alchemical has line of sight, allowing them to transmit their

voice telepathically to that target. The target

cannot respond.
