This Charm installs short retractable claws or spikes under the Alchemical's fingernails and toenails. When extended, they allow the Exalted to do Lethal damage while unarmed, using the Brawl or Martial Arts abilities. In addition, the Alchemical may subtract 2 from the difficulty of any climbing-related Athletics rolls. However, the bulky claws add 1 to the difficulty of any Dexterity rolls involving fine manipulation while they are extended.<br />

The length of the blades adds 2 to the difficulty of any Dexterity rolls involving fine manipulation while they are extended.<br />

The blades are Spd +3, Acc +1, Dmg +2L, Pry +1, plus the attunement bonus of the Magical Material. The blades still add 2 to the difficulty of Dexterity rolls involving fine manipulation while extended.<br />

=== Comments === <br />
<br />
I put these under Manipulation as they involve manipulation of the Alchemical's body. I suppose there is a case to be made for Dexterity, but the given alchemical Dex charms seem to be focused on speed of movement, which these don't really fit. I modeled them off of the similar Lunar charms, and have probably erred on the side of caution in terms of power. Th' names are lame, I know. -[[Davidl]]</div>MetalFatigue
