New Charms from Scroll of Exalts

Solar

Resistance

Heroes Never Die

Prerequisite Charms: Durability of Oak Meditation (Exalted, p. 206)

See “Wound-Eating Invulnerability” below.

 

Sail

Omnipresent Admiral of Light

Prerequisite Charms: Salty Dog Method (Exalted, p. 236)

See “Voiceless Admiralty Dread” below.

 

Abyssal

Resistance

Wound-Eating Invulnerability

Cost: —
Mins: Resistance 5, Essence 3;
Type: Permanent
Keywords: Mirror (see below)
Duration: Permanent
Prerequisite Charms: Spirit-Hardened Frame

The prerequisite’s conferred Hardness raises to (Essence + 5), and it may be extended to a duration of one scene by raising the cost to (6m, 1wp). Injuries prevented this way occur and instantly heal as per Wounds Mean Nothing. The Solar Mirror “Heroes Never Die” correspondingly expands Durability of Oak Meditation.

 

Sail

Shambling Crew Enlightenment

Cost: —;
Mins: Sail 3, Essence 3
Type: Permanent
Keywords: Avatar (1)
Duration: Permanent
Prerequisite Charms: Deck-Striding Phantom

Whenever an Abyssal with this Charm is aboard a vessel he owns, all the walking dead onboard who are obedient to the deathknight have Intelligence 2 and a Sail rating equal to the deathknight’s own.

Voiceless Admiralty Dread

Cost: 3m
Mins: Sail 5, Essence 4
Type: Simple
Keywords: Combo-OK, Mirror (see below)
Duration: Indefinite
Prererequisite Charms: Unhallowed Ghost Ship

While active, the Abyssal intuitively knows the location of all ships he’s personally claimed with Unhallowed Ghost Ship within (Essence rating) miles and can issue reflexive telepathic orders to any or all of them, though this communication is still language dependent. All onboard the vessel hear the words in their mind as if the Abyssal were speaking from just behind them, allowing the ship to carry out orders from afar without distracting the captain from other tasks. Additionally, no relays are needed to prevent communication failure for units composed of crewmembers listening to these orders, leaving room for additional special characters.  The Solar Mirror “Omnipresent Admiral of Light” correspondingly targets ships owned via Ship-Claiming Stance.

 

Thrown

Smoldering Devastation Technique

Cost: —
Mins: Thrown 5, Essence 3
Type: Permanent
Keywords: None
Duration: Permanent
Prerequisite Charms: Crypt Bolt Attack

A deathknight with this Charm can invoke Crypt Bolt Attack without it counting as a Charm activation, and it costs only one mote if the Exalt used the Charm earlier in the scene. All unexpected attacks made with crypt bolts double their raw damage.

 

Alchemical

Charisma

Hardened Argument Patterning

Cost: — [1m]
Mins: Charisma 5, Essence 3
Type: Permanent
Keywords: Internal, Social
Duration: Permanent
Prerequisite Charms: Programmed Catechism Rebuttal

When the Alchemical pays one or more points of Willpower to resist mental influence, any attempt to impose the same end result via any further mental influence (or a closely similar result as defined by the Storyteller) suffers a -3 external penalty.

 

Dragon-Blooded

Awareness

Atsiluth’s Omniscience

Cost: 5m, 1wp
Mins: Awareness 5, Essence 4
Type: Reflexive
Keywords: Combo-OK
Duration: One scene
Prerequisites: Feeling the Dragon’s Bones

This unique Charm allows Vitali Proseria to project all of her senses to observe a single target attuned to the Sea of Mind as though he is beside her. This is a scrying effect that functions over any distance.
