Theme

The charms of the Infernal Exalted are not the spirit charms of the Yozis but rather the product of a formerly solar exaltation filled with hellish essence displaying powers that follow the same themes and nature as their patrons.

Merits

Id

Modified
Effect: Virtue Flaw is replaced with a limit break listed from the solar limit section.
Reason: Virtue Flaws are a second edition concept, this term was almost certainly included in error.

Mutations

Banned
Reason: We have supernatural merits from 3e core and Lunars, this is needless complexity.

Charms

All Heretical charms, save for the ones mentioned in the Heretical tab, are banned by default

Craft Charms

Infernals which have Craft as a caste or favored ability may purchase the charms from the Craft Revamp as favored, similar to rules for sorcery spells and martial arts.

First <Yozi> Excellency

Modified
Effect: Referred to as, "Excellent <Yozi> Nature" as the distinction between 1st, 2nd, and 3rd excellencies is gone in third edition.
Infernals also have the excellencies of their caste, secondary, and tertiary yozis automatically. Further excellencies are added if
the Infernal has Essence 4+ and acquired at least five charms from a given yozi.

Second <Yozi> Excellency

Banned
Reason: Second excellencies do not exist in Third Edition, the first excellency may be used to enhance static values as its solar
counterpart.

Mantle of Primordial Mercy

Banned
Reason: This charm is only relevant to a house rule this MUSH does not use.

Unbridled Joy of Creation

Banned
Reason: No mote expanders.

Law Above All

Modified
Effect: The threshold is now less than the infernal's essence, rather than equal to or less than.
Reason: Mostly keeping this from getting awkward if used between player characters.

Soul-Sand Devil Shintai

Modified
Effect: While dematerialized, a cloud of silvery sand winks in and out of existence around your body.
This allows others to perceive your location at +1 difficulty, though not necessarily the nature of what they are observing.
If the observer has an effect which allows them to perceive dematerialized spirits active, this increase to difficulty is
negated for them and they can see your actual appearance if they succeed on their roll to notice you.

Obsessive Enactment Precision

Modified
Effect: This charm cannot be used on a task less difficult than one that would be considered a Serious Task
in the social influence system. Likewise, the bonus pool of willpower does not refill the main willpower pool
when the designated task is complete.
Reason: Expendable pool regen bonuses get out of hand quickly.

Brook No Trespass

Banned
Reason: Balancing the mote economy.

Love Begets Love

Banned
Reason: Little to no functional benefit, encourages disruptive concepts.

Umbilical Noose Escape

Banned
Reason: See previous reason.

Womb Darkness Retention

Banned
Reason: Little to no functional benefit, encourages disruptive concepts.

The Little Monster

Banned
Reason: See previous reason.

Passion-Driven Maelstrom

Banned
Reason: There are a lot of ways to do damage to a region, this one is just weirdly edgy for no good reason.

Doppelganger Genesis Evocation

Banned
Reason: Listed as to be fixed by the original document maintainer, has not been fixed yet.

Charm Concept: Mad

Modified
Effect: The lunar exalted are never subject to the negative effects of charms with the Revelation keyword,
though they are aware of them.
Reason: Avoiding specific, hostile bonuses against other exalt types.

Oramus' Transgression - Essence Impossible

Banned
Reason: Second excellencies do not exist in Third Edition, and this charm requires them.

Composer of the Numinous

Modified
Effect: The mote pool effect is removed from this charm.
Reason: No pool expanders.

Empty Stomach Frustration

Banned
Reason: No mote expanders.

Merry Boar Rampage

Banned
Reason: Balancing the mote economy

Door-Splintering Juggernaut Motion

Modified
Effect: Move, Rush, and Disengage actions are enhanced instead.
Reason: The original charm's writeup erroneously includes second edition terminology.

Reassuring Slave Chorus

Modified
Effect: Mote regen cannot occur in battle.
Reason: Balancing the mote economy.

Uncrowned Beast King

Modified
Effect: Cloud Ascends the Mountain Stance is banned.
Reason: See previous

Poetic Doomed Adversary Exultation

Banned
Reason: See previous.

Titanic Spawn Uncountable

Allowed
Reason: Not really that much more powerful than some sorcerous workings, also some neat flavor.

Fourth Soul Charms

Allowed
Reason: A bit more custom content, not too outlandish.

Insatiable Aura Unchained

Allowed, Modified
Effect: Lillun does not exist in this setting, the Yozis have individual artifact receptacles for the exaltations as physical objects called, "Reliquaries"
instead. Attempting to circumvent the obviousness of this charm follows the logic of magics of concealment and deception rather than
painlessness or perfect cutting.
Reason: If you don't know about Lillun, you're better off not knowing.
