A crystal ring placed within the Perfected Lotus Matrix to interact with a modified Aegis Integration System, which causes the Subdermal ports to be arranged to suit a stored martial arts form within the Exoskeletal Configuration Database. These modifications alter how armour is adapted to the body of the Alchemical to suit the necessary flow of movements in the stored martial art form.

The Movement penalty incurred normally by the armour must be reduced to -0 for this charm to work, thus most styles can be used while wearing all but the heaviest armour, all types of artifact armour, but only the most mobile of power armour. This Charm must be purchased anew for every full martial arts form, and only one form may be used at a time, to change forms the Alchemical must remove and reapply the Aegis Integration System to suit the new form.


An interesting charm I can't argue too much with. I would recommnend cleaning up the text a bit though - as of now, it kind of reads in spurts, never really saying what it is, until it bursts into the second paragraph. Perhaps adding the following sentence to the end of the first paragraph. "^H, allowing the Alchemical to employ a single martial arts style (defined at the time this charm is installed) while wearing armor, as long as that armor has a mobility penalty of -0. The character may only have one of these charms installed at a time, allowing them to employ at most one normally non-armor martial arts style at a time." -- GreenLantern

  • The first paragraph is a little bit of flavour text, not meant to fully reveal the function of the charm, much like the charms as written in The Alchemicals Book. That said, others who I have shown this charm two find it easy enough to understand, and I'll leave it as is for now. Thanks again for the response. - ArabianNinja
