-The '''Talisman''' was to be a new game mechanic in [[Diablo III]]. The Talisman held [[charm]]s, which are small, 1x1 sized objects that provide general bonuses to stats and other modifiers. Characters do not begin the game[http://diablo.incgamers.com/blog/comments/diablo-on-this-and-that/] with a Talisman, but receive it for an early (unnamed) [[quest]] reward, much like the [[salvage cube]].

 The Talisman was part of the inventory interface in the demo build at [[BlizzCon 2008]]. It was seen between the two weapon slots in the [[inventory]], and when clicked a bronze, circular disk appeared over the character. There were 9 slots on the talisman, with lines connecting some of them. It had no function in the Blizzcon build, and could not be clicked or activated in any way.
-In interviews at the show[http://www.diii.net/blog/comments/blizzcon-press-conference-with-jay-wilson/], Jay Wilson disclosed that it was something they were playing around with during development. It's called the "Talisman" and it's an "attribute modifier that used [[gem]]s," according to Jay. There were gems to be found in the BlizzCon demo, but the talisman was not functional, so no players could attempt to experiment with it.

 Jay said they'd rejected the Talisman the way it had been working, and that it was now non-functional, but that they would probably do something else with it.

 ::'''Jay Wilson:''' Yes. We’re stated in the past that we’re working on a new customization system. A system that’s part of your character building. Also that within the item space we’re looking for ways for more... we really prefer the single point stat customization be more item based.

-Talisman images were few and far between during much of Diablo III's development, since the team kept the feature out of the public builds while it was being revised and reworked. Nevertheless, there are some images that show how the look of the device has changed over time.
