* While [[House_Rules/Miscellaneous#Multiclass | multiclassing]] (e.g. kithain + kinfolk) is allowed, be careful about spreading yourself too thin. If most of your time and energy is spent elsewhere, then the changeling sphere probably won't spend a lot of their time and energy trying to include you.

* The Seelie and Unseelie Court are ''not'' deadly enemies. They have philosophical differences, and individuals may dislike each other individually, but as groups they still work together and it isn't a big deal. Their real enemies are (a) the Dauntain and other forces of Banality, and (b) the Shadow Court.
