Changeling/Rules

Here are our House Rules. Hooray!

Contracts

Blessing of Perfection

• For armor, Blessing of Perfection replaces both ballistic and general armor. 0/1 reinforced clothing becomes 2/2 armor when Blessed by a Wyrd 2 character.
• For weapons, Blessing of Perfection replaces the weapon rating with the Wyrd of the contract-user.

Dance of the Toys

• All objects use the rules on p 134 for completing their tasks, whether they are a car running someone over or a gun firing.
• The successes on the activation roll become a gun's attack roll, for example, or a sword's.

Kiths

Artist

The book text is unclear as to whether this effect lasts for a single roll or for a scene. The ability only applies to art forms for which the Artist has an Expression specialty

Playmate

Playmates may heal themselves.

Fae-Touched

• Fae-Touched are not Lost and may not have Mantle, though on rare occasions they may swear to a Court as per p315 of CtL 2e core; they may have Court Goodwill.
• Fae-Touched may swear Oaths and may use Tokens.
• Freehold membership is open to Fae-Touched. Better close and watched than potentially swiped by Them without anyone to watch them. The relationship between individual Fae-Touched and Lost may be anything, but the official position of the Freehold is that they are part of Lost Society.

Merits

Court Goodwill

• Court Goodwill can only be purchased by Changelings and Fae-Touched.
• Court Goodwill is restricted to 3 at chargen.

Hollow

Easy Access When a Hollow has Easy Access, the normal Portaling rules are amended. Each Changeling must enter and leave separately, expending a Glamour every time they either enter or leave. The Hollow has no permanent entrance from the mundane world, and every Lost returns to the same mundane door that they entered at.

If Bob and Alice share a Hollow, and Bob spends a glamour and enters the Hollow from a door in China while Alice spends a glamour and enters from a door in Algeria, Alice may not 'follow' Bob out to China when Bob spends a glamour and exits to the mundane world. To exit to the mundane world, Alice must also spend a glamour, and she will exit to Algeria.

If Clarice the vampire is brought through the Easy Access portal by Bob, she may exit with Alice. As she is unable to expend glamour to open her own Portal, she is at the mercy of whoever will ferry her through.

If a Changeling enters through an unlocked door that is subsequently locked, she may not exit into the mundane world until it is unlocked. She must exit into the Hedge.

Such is the tradeoff for being able to enter your Hollow from literally anywhere.

Mantle

• Mantle is restricted to 3 at chargen.

Stable Trod

When a motley submits for the Stable Trod merit, they must follow the rules on p201-202 of the CtL core book to determine the Trod's length and how well the motley cares for the Trod. A length 3 trod which is "well cared for" is a 5 dot trod. You must submit the start and end points for your Trod on the request where it is first purchased.
