__NOTOC__
 +
 +
As we have converted to Changeling the Dreaming (20th Anniversary), not only have the [[Arts#Arts|Arts]] changed what some are named, or what they do, but how they are cast as well has been updated.  Arts are no longer separated between Common and Less Common, there are no specific attributes to go along with them either.  Please review the Game Mechanics section below, and then the specific [[Arts#Arts|Arts]] to see what has changed.
 +
 +
[[Arts#Inanimae_Slivers|Inanimae]] no longer are required to use realms, and their Slivers are all Unleashed.
 +
 +
[[Arts#Hsien|Hsien]] have not been updated yet, and are under review.

Game mechanics for casting any cantrip (C20 196) - Hsien see separate section below
 +
# '''Art:''' Decide specific dot rating of a particular Art to use
 +
# '''[[Realms|Realms]]:''' Determine the necessary Realms needed for the desired use of the Art, including the modifier Realms.
 +
# '''Spend Glamour:''' Spend 1 Glamour for any Wyrd cantrip, and add an additional Glamour if using more than one Realm or "cheats" a Realm. (Cheat=using a realm you do not have)
 +
# '''Determine dice pool:'''
 +
#* Art rating + rating of the lowest primary Realm used (Fae, Actor, Nature, Prop).
 +
#* Scene and Time never influence the dice pool
 +
#* Player replaces a # of dice in the pool equal to current Nightmare rating, not to exceed the dice pool.
 +
# '''[[Bunks|Bunks]]:''' Decide to use a bunk or not, and then either splits dice pool or delays the cantrip roll until after the actions necessary for the bunk resolve.
 +
# '''Determine Difficulty:''' Base difficulty is 8.  Apply relevant modifiers (C20 194, see table at right) to determine.
 +
# '''Roll dice'''
 +
 +
 +
Unleashing an Art (20th Anniversary edition, pages 196-197)
 +
* Spend 2 Glamour, gain a Nightmare Die, then roll Glamour + Nightmare Dice vs 7

* Gain a Nightmare Die and suffer an immediate Nightmare (latter is house rule, replacing C20's Imbalance for simplicity)
 +
* Havoc occurs for a turn (details are ST discretion)
 +
* Next turn, suffer a Banality trigger (C20 269: roll Glamour vs 8, fail = +1 temp Banality, botch = +N temp Banality where N is the number of ones rolled)
 +
* Can't spend Glamour or use arts for rest of scene

Hsien: (Land of Eight Million Dreams pages 99, 105-110)
 +
# Choose an art
 +
# Choose whether the effect is Yin or Yang (page 97)
 +
## Yin: Dark, passive, cold, moist, decaying, negative, defensive, material, female
 +
## Yang: Light, active, hot, dry, growing, positive, offensive, male
 +
# Determine successes needed
 +
## Typically 1, sometimes 2*N to modify an attribute / ability / dice pool
 +
## Modifiers = more successes needed (pages 106-107)
 +
## Fortune = fewer successes needed (pages 108-110), minimum 1
 +
## Rituals: see pages 111-112
 +
# Spend Yugen (1 unless using a Cohort, pages 110-111)
 +
# Roll art + relevant attribute (see below)
 +
## Difficulty = 11 - (Yin or Yang, whichever is relevant) (page 97)
 +
## Multiple hsien with the same art can use it together; dice pool includes all their art levels, but only the lead caster's attribute
 +
## By default, the effect has a single target within about 10 yards and lasts for one turn
 +
### Things that require more successes: more targets, conditional circumstances, longer duration, longer range, add damage (only to a level 4+ effect), greater magnitude of change and/or form
 +
### Fortunes that each reduce required successes by 1 (to a minimum of 1): color, direction, Dzi Dzat (folded paper), festivals, kwannon-jin elemental affinity, Mu-jen (wooden men), poetry, season, sense, skills, Wani form

Latest revision as of 13:22, 23 September 2024


As we have converted to Changeling the Dreaming (20th Anniversary), not only have the Arts changed what some are named, or what they do, but how they are cast as well has been updated. Arts are no longer separated between Common and Less Common, there are no specific attributes to go along with them either. Please review the Game Mechanics section below, and then the specific Arts to see what has changed.

Inanimae no longer are required to use realms, and their Slivers are all Unleashed.

Hsien have not been updated yet, and are under review.


Game Mechanics

Scenario affecting difficulty Modifier
Target/location's Banality is above 7 +1
Using Scene realm +1
Using Time realm +1
Target has higher Title than you and doesn't consent +1
Voluntarily replace at least three dice with Nightmare Dice (C20 274-5) -1
In a freehold -1
Target is kinain or enchanted -1
Using bunk -1 to -5
Using your kith's affinity realm -1

Game mechanics for casting any cantrip (C20 196) - Hsien see separate section below

  1. Art: Decide specific dot rating of a particular Art to use
  2. Realms: Determine the necessary Realms needed for the desired use of the Art, including the modifier Realms.
  3. Spend Glamour: Spend 1 Glamour for any Wyrd cantrip, and add an additional Glamour if using more than one Realm or "cheats" a Realm. (Cheat=using a realm you do not have)
  4. Determine dice pool:
    • Art rating + rating of the lowest primary Realm used (Fae, Actor, Nature, Prop).
    • Scene and Time never influence the dice pool
    • Player replaces a # of dice in the pool equal to current Nightmare rating, not to exceed the dice pool.
  5. Bunks: Decide to use a bunk or not, and then either splits dice pool or delays the cantrip roll until after the actions necessary for the bunk resolve.
  6. Determine Difficulty: Base difficulty is 8. Apply relevant modifiers (C20 194, see table at right) to determine.
  7. Roll dice


Unleashing an Art (20th Anniversary edition, pages 196-197)

  • Spend 2 Glamour, gain a Nightmare Die, then roll Glamour + Nightmare Dice vs 7
Number of successes IC results of unleashing
Botch
  • Gain a Nightmare Die and suffer an immediate Nightmare (latter is house rule, replacing C20's Imbalance for simplicity)
  • Havoc occurs for a turn (details are ST discretion)
  • Next turn, suffer a Banality trigger (C20 269: roll Glamour vs 8, fail = +1 temp Banality, botch = +N temp Banality where N is the number of ones rolled)
  • Can't spend Glamour or use arts for rest of scene
Fail (but not botch)
  • Suffer a Banality trigger (see above)
  • Can't use that art for rest of scene
1 to art level
  • Automatically invoke the Wyrd for (Glamour) turns, or spend a Willpower to make it last for rest of scene
  • Fae mien becomes visible
  • PC narrates effect of that art
More than art level
  • PC's intent is fulfilled, but in a twisted or unintended way that adds complication or puts everyone nearby in danger
  • Gain a Nightmare Die
  • ST narrates effect of that art
  • Automatically invoke the Wyrd for rest of scene

Arts

Following is a list of Arts available, with notes to any restrictions on which Kiths can learn what Arts. If you think it makes sense for your PC, open a +request to speak to staff about it.

Hsien

Hsien game mechanics

Hsien: (Land of Eight Million Dreams pages 99, 105-110)

  1. Choose an art
  2. Choose whether the effect is Yin or Yang (page 97)
    1. Yin: Dark, passive, cold, moist, decaying, negative, defensive, material, female
    2. Yang: Light, active, hot, dry, growing, positive, offensive, male
  3. Determine successes needed
    1. Typically 1, sometimes 2*N to modify an attribute / ability / dice pool
    2. Modifiers = more successes needed (pages 106-107)
    3. Fortune = fewer successes needed (pages 108-110), minimum 1
    4. Rituals: see pages 111-112
  4. Spend Yugen (1 unless using a Cohort, pages 110-111)
  5. Roll art + relevant attribute (see below)
    1. Difficulty = 11 - (Yin or Yang, whichever is relevant) (page 97)
    2. Multiple hsien with the same art can use it together; dice pool includes all their art levels, but only the lead caster's attribute
    3. By default, the effect has a single target within about 10 yards and lasts for one turn
      1. Things that require more successes: more targets, conditional circumstances, longer duration, longer range, add damage (only to a level 4+ effect), greater magnitude of change and/or form
      2. Fortunes that each reduce required successes by 1 (to a minimum of 1): color, direction, Dzi Dzat (folded paper), festivals, kwannon-jin elemental affinity, Mu-jen (wooden men), poetry, season, sense, skills, Wani form
