Chimera points depend on background level:

• 1 dot = 10 points
• 2 dots = 15 points
• 3 dots = 20 points
• 4 dots = 30 points
• 5 dots = 50 points

Spending chimera points: (all of these stats start at a baseline of zero)

Stat	Chimera points	Notes
Attributes	1 for 3 dots (house rule based on C20 320: need not be all in the same category)	Can exceed 5, but can't exceed Glamour
Abilities	1 for 3 dots
Glamour	1 for 1 dot	Pool stat, regain 1/hour in Dreaming
Willpower	3 for 1 dot	Pool stat, regain 1/day
Health levels	1 for 2 dots	Can't exceed 5 * Stamina
Redes	Equal to rede level
Banes	Gives extra chimera points equal to rede level	Max 12 total

Attack: Str+1 chimerical if not using weapons or redes

Rede	Chimera Point cost	Use cost (Glamour)	Effect
Aggravated Damage	3	none	exactly what it says on the tin
Animate	3	1 + X (mass) + Y (duration)	move up to 20 pounds of non-living matter (each point in X doubles max) for 1 turn (each point in Y adds a turn), roll Intelligence + Melee + 2*X if using it as an attack
Archetype*	10/15/20 (1/2/3 uses)	1/turn until complete	grab target and roll resisted Willpower to absorb them and their abilities
Armor	1 per point	none	extra soak
Befuddle	3	1	Glamour vs target's Willpower, target loses 1 die per excess success while chimera is still around
Breath	5 (3 if non-damage, e.g. sleep)	N (minimum 1)	each target in range (long line / medium cone / short cloud) takes 3+N dice of damage, higher init can spend an action to run out of range
Difficulty Reduction	3 (-1) or 6 (-2)	none	affects a specific activity (e.g. running), not an entire ability or attribute
Dreadful Gaze*	8	2	target rolls Stamina + Kenning vs user's Willpower, fewer than 3 successes = turn to stone (only permanent if they're chimera and fail the roll)
Dreamform	5	none	no physical form or attributes, still has health levels (no cap), only affected by Arts/treasures, Autumn People etc. may make it materialize temporarily or permanently
Dreamweaving	4	none	from Dreaming, target someone sleeping in normalspace, roll Glamour vs target's Willpower (-1 per two previous attempts against same target) to control their dream; repeated use causes target to gain no benefit from sleep (eventually loss of permanent Willpower, insanity, death)
Enchantment	3	1/hour in freehold or Dreaming, 1/turn elsewhere	damage still chimerical unless Wyrd rede used
Ensnare	2	1 for a human-sized object	Strength 2 and 2 armor per 3 Glamour (less than 3 Glamour: Strength 1 and 1 armor)
Entrancement	4	1 Willpower	roll Glamour vs target's Banality (+1 per previous attempt against same target), lasts one scene per success, target must understand user's language
Fear	2	1	1-10 turns, Willpower (-1 turn per success)
Fester	5	1/level	manifests within hours, aware victim resists with Willpower, Primal 4 (Heather Balm) can cure damage but not the disease itself
Flight	3	1/hour	(25 * Dexterity) feet/turn
Gulp	3	2	5+ successes on attack roll, automatic damage per turn
Glamour Pact	5	1 permanent	+2 diff to craft/forge/trap them in a treasure unwillingly
Healing	5	1/level	chimerical only unless Wyrd rede used
Hide	5 (self) or 7 (others too)	1 per person/item affected	Perception + Kenning vs 8, 1 success = general location, 2+ successes = detected; lasts the scene (up to an hour); if target or searcher is unenchanted, requires Wyrd rede
Illusions	3	1 + N	similar to Fuddle (target object must still appear roughly same size), doesn't affect targets with Perception 4+ or supernatural vision; suspicious targets roll Perception + Kenning vs (6+N, max 9), 2+ successes = see through it
Poof Begone	3	1	teleport within line of sight (+50 feet if at a trod or mushroom ring), only usable in Dreaming even if user has Wyrd
Possession	7	2 Willpower	Glamour vs target's Willpower, resisted by Willpower vs chimera's Glamour; 1 turn per excess success; if target's perm Banality exceeds chimera's perm Glamour, lose Glamour equal to difference; unenchanted target requires Enchantment rede
Riadstradh	3 + X	1 + Y	berserk frenzy, must declare a type of enemy that's present (e.g. "Sidhe" but not "all fae"), ignore wound penalties and +(1+X) to combat dice pools for (Stamina + 2*Y) turns, afterward take 1 level of fatigue damage (heals 1/hour) per 3 turns of frenzy (round up)
Scuttle	3	1 per extra action	zum zum zum
Sense Banality	2	1 Willpower	person/object/place
Shapeshift	5	1 per change	any size/appearance, affects all senses, no damage or new abilities
Steal Glamour	3	1 Willpower	Willpower vs target's Glamour, 1 per success
Transmute	3 per type of target (e.g. wood)	1/3/5	higher use cost = more drastic change; works in normalspace (even without Wyrd) but only temporarily, permanently in Dreaming
Traverse Dreaming	5	1	from mortal world to Dreaming or vice versa, requires trod/portal
Venom	3	N	Stamina vs 8 or paralyzed N minutes and optionally N levels of chimerical damage
Weaponry	2*N	none	+N damage
Wyrd	5	1 Willpower per scene	non-chimerical interaction

Enmity	2	+3 diff to social rolls involving chosen target
Ferocious Beast	2	similar to Riadstradh but uncontrolled
Glamour Pact	3	forged/crafted chimera only
Jingle-Geasa	3	must sing a song clearly indicating their True Name daily
Riddle-Game	2 or 4	2 = when asked a riddle, can do nothing else until it's solved; 4 = must ask a riddle before combat, opponent wins = must obey opponent or take 6 levels of damage, opponent loses or attacks first = can attack opponent normally
Token	1	must use a physical object or material to activate a chosen rede
Uncontrolled Redes	1 + (1 per 2 redes)	more frequent in high-Glamour areas, no Glamour cost but also no control
Vulnerable Spot	2	opponent actively searching for it rolls Perception + (Melee or Brawl) vs 8, 3+ successes = attacks are +2 dice and -1 diff for next 3 rounds, 5+ successes = first of those 3 rounds is double dice and -2 diff instead
