Changeling Rules

Changelings are the leftovers of the bygone era of the Fae. As a Changeling, you have a little Fae in you, but you’ve got at least as much human.

Advantages to playing a Changeling:

• Built in Birthright powers
• Kith Forms provide advantages to your Birthrights
• Partial Gauntlet Sight
• Enchanting mechanics
• Energy regeneration through creativity or nodes
• Expected Gameplay: Mystery / Social
• Native Realm: Realm

Disadvantages to playing a Changeling

• Vulnerable to Cold Iron
• Carrying Cold Iron causes Exposure damage
• Forgetting mechanics can cause temporary loss of powers
• Banality can result in a permanent loss of powers
• All levels of Non-Innate powers require a teacher
• Only Nockers may create Fetish Items
• Fragile Magic means that you cannot repeatedly use powers when someone resists them

Building a Changeling

• Start by following the Universal Character Creation section in the Universal Character Information chapter and then…
• Choose a Kith (listed below)
• Choose 3 Arts as Innate Arts, no more than one of which may be a Court Art.
• Fill in 3 dots of Banality.
• Spend 12 points on Arts.
• Spend 18 points on Backgrounds.
• Spend 10 points (freebies) anywhere you like on your sheet.

When purchasing powers as a Changeling, you must purchase them in order. In order to purchase a level 2 power, you must have purchased the level 1 of the same tree. To purchase a level 3 power, you must purchase the level 2 power from the same tree, etc.

Built-In Powers

Changelings come with a few built-in powers.

• Enchant ObjectEnchant ObjectEnchant Object: Create a 3x5 card with the following: "Enchantment, 1 hour - 1 WP to resist" - "You are Enchanted. Gain Enchanted Sight (see but not hear into umbra from realm) & Reduced Delirium (if affected by Delirium, respond as if your WP is at least 4) & Impunity toward [your name] (you may not attack unless they attack you first); 1 Willpower to resist. At the end of the effect Rationalize everything that happened while Enchanted and destroy this card. If resisted, destroy this card." At any point, you may offer any object to another individual. If they accept the object being offered, hand them the Enchantment card. They take the effects of the card unless they spend one Willpower to resist the entire effect. You may not store up enchanted objects; you may have only one ungifted enchanted object., 1 Glamour
• Enchanted SightEnchanted SightEnchanted Sight: Buff, Sight. You may see into the Umbra from the Realm, but not hear., No Cost, Always On.
• Kith FormKith FormKith Form: Form. The Changeling pulls their chimerical form into substance. Each kith gains specific bonuses while their kith form is active. While in Kith Form, a Changeling loses their Fragile Magic weakness. However, if a Changeling drops to the dying state while in Kith Form, they immediately gain 1 permanent Banality, and they lose the mechanical benefits of Kith Form for the rest of the day (change out of Kith Form costuming at earliest convenience). A Changeling cannot gain Banality this way more than once per day. Use either a mask or other distinct costuming (such as removable beards or noses), represent your Kith. While in Kith Form gain Gauntlet Sight, No Cost, Always On, and Echo, No Cost, Always On. - Variable effect - see specific Kith for more information. 1 Willpower, Self, 1 hour.
• Muse RegenerationMuse RegenerationMuse Regeneration: You regain 1 Glamour per 5 minutes that you continuously observe a character creating art, such as writing, drawing, painting, performing music, or enthusiastically reciting a story.
• After being in the Dying state for 10 minutes, you may gain 1 permanent Banality and empty your Glamour pool to regain full Health. When you do, enter a Forgetting state. Otherwise, after 10 minutes in the dying state you die.

Changeling Pools

Glamour - The primary Changeling energy pool.

Disbelief - An anti-pool. Disbelief can eventually cause your Banality to increase. When the Disbelief pool reaches 10, gain 1 Banality and Disbelief resets to 0. Disbelief also increases any time you are hit for Cold Iron damage or whenever you reach 0 Glamour. At start of each game, your Disbelief is reset to zero.

Banality - Banality is your character’s inability to accept the fantastical. As long as Banality has not reached 10, once per game you may spend 3 XP at check-in to reduce your Banality by 1. Reaching 10 Banality kills the fae soul of the character; you lose access to all Changeling mechanics, revert to Mortal character sheet, and gain "Precluded First Change" as a 0-point flaw.

Ritual and Fetish Access

All Changelings have access to the Rituals background. Only Nockers may craft Fetishes; any Changeling may use Glamour Fetishes.

Regenerating Glamour

Nodes - Freeholds are Glamour nodes and are attackable.

Muse RegenerationMuse RegenerationMuse Regeneration: You regain 1 Glamour per 5 minutes that you continuously observe a character creating art, such as writing, drawing, painting, performing music, or enthusiastically reciting a story. - Changelings are sustained by the creativity of others.

Receiving an Enchanted Object - If you accept an object which is accompanied by an Enchantment card, immediately restore 1 Glamour and destroy the card. If your glamour pool is full, reply "No effect."

Any time you would gain Glamour, you may instead choose to reduce your Disbelief by that amount.

Fragile Magic

Whenever a target resists one of your Art powers, you may not use another Art for 10 seconds unless you give yourself 1 Disbelief.

Vulnerability to Cold Iron

Cold Iron melee weapons and Cold Iron ammunition cause aggravated damage to Changelings, and being struck by Cold Iron damage gives you 1 Disbelief per successful hit. If you resist the damage or are immune to damage, Cold Iron attacks do not cause disbelief. Changelings in a Forgetting state do not receive aggravated damage or disbelief from Cold Iron weapons.

Cold Iron and Glamour

Direct skin contact with any Cold Iron item causes exposure damage to the Changeling. Additionally, each Cold Iron item carried by a Changeling reduces their Maximum Glamour by 1. For this purpose, 3 Cold Iron pieces of ammo count as 1 item (round up). This effect is only active so long as the Cold Iron item is on your person. If your Glamour was at maximum prior to picking up the Cold Iron Items, putting the item down restores your maximum Glamour, but does not restore the Glamour you lost due to lowered maximum (you will be down 1 Glamour for each item). Changelings in a Forgetting state to not suffer exposure damage from touching Cold Iron.

Forgetting

Being brought to 0 Glamour or gaining a permanent Banality will cause a Forgetting, wherein you lose all memory of your Changeling half. For the duration of the Forgetting, you lose access to all Changeling Built-Ins, Arts, Kith Flaws, and Birthrights. You are under the effects of ImpostorImpostorImpostor: When asked by powers if you have the energy type, health type, or supernatural Type described on the power descriptor line, you must answer as if that Type. When asked for other characteristics defining that Type (such as Tribe, Clan, Auspice, etc…) you may answer with any answer your character would know. You may also choose to answer any question that would identify your native Type with a negative response (“No”, “None”, etc.): Mortal, are susceptible to Delirium as if mortal, cannot gain Disbelief, and all supernatural knowledge is forgotten behind mundane explanations. Gaining one or more Glamour will end the Forgetting.

Being Fed From

If a Vampire character feeds from you, notify them that you are a Changeling, and cause Enchantment. Provide them with a Enchantment card. Causing Enchantment in this manner does not cost Glamour.

Arts - Choose 3 Trees

Changelings are a bit more flexible than most other types of supernaturals. Choose 3 Arts to be innate, only one may be from the Courts art sets. Choosing a Seelie art will define your nature as a Seelie changeling; one who honors the noble ideals of the Dreaming. Choosing a Shadow art will define your Changeling as someone sworn to serve the nightmare aspect of the Dreaming.

Learning New Arts

You may learn any level of an Art Tree using the rules found in the section: “teaching and learning non-innate powers, skills, abilities, and techniques”. A character may only know one Court art tree. Each level requires a teacher, however Changelings may specify any number of levels being taught at once up to Level 5.
