The '''Talisman''' is a new game mechanic in [[Diablo III]]. The Talisman holds [[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]].
