Alchemical Charms

Forged in the great Alchemical Vats and the God Furnace and given breath by the Great Maker itself, these Exalted are themselves living extensions of the Machine God. (Time of Tumult, pg. 163) As the Alchemical Exalted are aspects of Autochthon, so too are their own Charms extensions of themselves, installed in physical form on the body of the Exalted.

Comments

Is it me, or do some of the actual canon Alchemical charms draw heavily from these ideas? I think that's quite cool, actually. Although there are very cool utterly new ones as well.

Zach Bush proposed a handful of unrealized Alchemical Charms after Time of Tumult; Josh Bain wrote up formal versions of them which have been posted here. I haven't compared Zach's Charms here with those in Autochthonians, but I would not be surprised if he included his proposed Charms in his outline to Neph. _Wohksworth

Unless someone comes up with a better idea, I'm going to put submodules under their appropriate charms in the charm sections for them, rather than as a separate section.
-- Darloth

Now that Exalted: The Autochthonians is out, should we separate these into subpages by author? --IsawaBrian

Probably. I'd suggest some could be set in some sort of "pre-Autochthonians" page: they may not jive with the canon vision of Alchemicals, and their authors (most of whom are not active on the Wiki) might be hesistant to see them presented as written with current canon in mind. If someone wants to make judgment calls on which Charms and authors are most compatible with canon, though, then more power to them. As for now, I think all new authors should put their work in subpages and reflect those pages in their Charms-by-contributor page!_Wohksworth

Put up the "Charms by Category" because I thought it would be easier not to split up any trees that happen to be made, just because they jump from attribute to attribute. Like the one I just made. -- OhJames

I like by Category myself, as that's how the charms are arranged in the Alchemicals book and it seems to make more sense in general.
-- Darloth

I was digging through my old Exalted notes the other day and found all my original Alchemical Charm design materials, so would it be inappropriate of me to go through all these pages and change my Charms so that they're specified as mine? I know there are a few of mine that were attributed to Thinker, I believe, and I recall a few Charms which I didn't create which I'm listed as the author of. -- MentalFloss, who just finally bothered to join in on all the Wiki fun (better late than never!)

Please do; my citations for those original Charms were in shambles. _JW

I've done my best to fix the attributions, but it appears the papers I found were an old version, because I'm quite certain I had more Charms than that. There are three Charms in Perception and one in Charisma which may or may not be mine; they were previously attributed to me, but they're not in these printouts I have, so I changed them to "unknown" for now. I know I created at least one Charm for each Attribute, mostly on the urging of good old Sunjumper, but any further updates will have to wait until I find a more recent printout so I can confirm which are and are not my Charms, as I'd hate to incorrectly take credit for them. Of course, most of my stuff is obsolete now, with much better alternatives existing in the Autochthonians book, but... y'know... for the sake of posterity and all. -- MentalFloss
