thank god, Evocations was a good idea but it was way too bloated, 5 charms is plenty to give a weapon it's own distinct feel and uses.

So they've learned from 2e and martial arts, as shown by stopping evocations being a huge bloat-fest, but have basicaly the same issues with craft...
The biggest differences I've seen are Integrity and artifacts. Integrity has a whole bunch of new charms, and artifacts and evocations have been totally reworked. (Something you might miss since it's not in the evocations section: evocations cost 10 experience now, not 8.)
Edit:
Wake the Sleeper is still awesome. Instead of getting half your evocations for free, you use it once and get every evocation you meet the Essence minimum for, then never put experience in that artifact again.

Yeah, that meditation chain from Integrity I mentioned earlier? One charm lets you spend an hour meditating for some penalty negation and bonus dice to mental actions, another charm lets you reduce that to a simple action once per day, and a third charm lets that once per day meditation also count as a full night's rest that gives you your willpower for sleeping, restores 20 motes, AND resets your (other) dailies. There's a few other charms in that cascade too, but yeah, integrity has some teeth now.

A plate full of blins and a cat nearby.
Divine Mantle is the one of these that caught my eye most. It's basically "anybody with Integrity 5 can get up to 10 free Spirit Charms (based on how many Charms you already have)", apparently without any of the restrictions of the Eclipse keyword.

Liminals look pretty cool from the fluff and I'm looking at the image on page 55 of undescribed types of exalted.
I think the chick in goggles is an Alchemical, several of the others are definitely Infernals and I'm wondering if there's a third type there...

Probably Lissome Avid Engineer, if so.
Basically, it has its own unique restrictions:
Whether those restrictions are enough is the question, I guess.

It's basically explicitly storyteller-adjudicated. It also requires the god to acknowledge you as their superior - well, or for you to beat them up.
I guess if you manage to beat the Unconquered Sun, any of his charms should count as in-theme for you?

Yeah, that's flat out retarded. In principle, the whitelist keyword is there to mark stuff that has been adequately tested for cross-splat usage, it is a marker that says "We the devs think that this effect, mechanically, will probably not break your game if you let someone combine it with the Solar Charmset.".
Therefore, it should not be bypassed by any means, unless for some insane reason "hurr, we don't care if you break your game with this other way of getting bullshit out of splat effect stacking, have fun with your broken game" is a desired side effect.
Explicit GM adjudication does absolutely nothing to defuse this, unless your GM is magically capable of telling whether any of the Charms you may or may not be trying to steal combine with the Solar Charmset to create broken builds like the Twilight Essence Reactor or something equally moronic.

They were in the 2E DB book as watermarks, as I recall. Don't remember where they may or may not have shown up in 1E.
Oh it is definitely Lissome Avid Engineer.

The effort is appreciated. Could the text in the non-shaded boxes be lightened in color? It's rather hard to read them as is.Here is my first try at charting Integrity.
That's because it's a transparent background, and if you're using a white-on-grey theme it's hard to see the black text. (Therefore, the transparent background probably isn't a good idea.)
Also, how about a different type of arrow or something to indicate Bridge prereqs?

Ye gods. I'm getting Lunars 1e flashbacks.

For all those who don't like the Craft-System:
Use Sorcerous Workings instead. But just for artifacts.
Mundane stuff is done by rolling dice and building up to a target number. How much depends on what you're doing.
Hack together a few basic charms to accelerate stuff like that or need less tools. Five charms should cover everything really.
Artifacts? Use Sorcerous Workings. So much easier.
Determine means - in other words, you get bonuses for proper exotic ingredients, for advanced workshops, for assistants and for extra time spent.
Determine Ambition. Either eyeball it, or go with Rating 3 Artifact=Ambition 2 Terrestrial, Rating 4=Ambition 1 Celestial, Rating 5=Ambition 3 Celestial. Rating N/A=whatever you think is appropriate, Solar Circle obviously.
Use Craft instead of Occult for the roll. Don't require sorcerous initiation if you don't want to, though it actually works pretty well.
Finesse? Well obviously the crafter roughly says what the artifact will do. But avoiding complications, getting finicky functions just right? Yeah, use Finesse for that.
Presto, you have a good craft-system for Exalted 3E.
You can make the hack more extensive with more charms and maybe custom sorcerous initiations or whatever.

Who's the smoke guy is my main question now. And what do we even know about the Getimians?They were in the 2E DB book as watermarks, as I recall. Don't remember where they may or may not have shown up in 1E.
Oh it is definitely Lissome Avid Engineer.And what looks to be Manosque Cyan, too.Edit: Not Cyan after all, apparently. And Toga Man isn't a Getimian like I suspected, because there aren't any pictured. Who can these people be?!?

That would be Manosque Cyan. Over at rpg.net Holden specifically said she ain't. My guess is that she's new, along with everyone else there who isn't a robot.
Smoke Guy has successfully piqued my interest in his Exalt type, good job artist.

So, for some reason page 248 is blank.
Seriously, some of these backer names are hilarious. There's a "Princess Invictum Celestia" in there.
Granite Silhouette, Doge of the Auspicious Ivory

Supernumerary Charioteer
The Immortal Knight of the Woeful Countenance
Make something up please
