Important notes

  • We are in the process of converting everything to Changeling 20th Anniversary. If you find something that has not been updated, open a +request so staff can look into it. Anything listed here is still under review.


  • We DO NOT use Changeling: The Enchanted here. Most of it is superseded or overlapped by old entrenched house rules. Some individual bits and pieces have been adapted.
  • Sidhe (both varieties) is available only at staff discretion. (as of 7/6/22)
  • Multiclassing (e.g. kinain + kinfolk) is available only at staff discretion. (as of 7/6/22)
    • Existing multiclass kinain should 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.

Choose Concept, Heritage (set as Kith for code reasons), Legacies (Seelie/Unseelie)

  • Optional: Court (if any - set as both Faction and Court), House (if any)
  • Shadow Court: set Faction = Unseelie, Court = Shadow
  • House rule: When open, Autumn Sidhe (C20) are allowed and are listed as such on +sheet; Arcadian Sidhe are just "Sidhe" on +sheet
    • 'Autumn Sidhe kinain' indicates that your closest known kithain relative(s) are Autumn Sidhe

Select one of heritage's birthrights and set a +note about that

  • If it's an attribute bonus, don't add it yourself, ask staff to set an +effect instead

Backgrounds:

  • New background: Faerie Blood
  • Not Allowed: Dreamers, Dross, Holdings, Remembrance, Retinue, Title
  • Rare: Treasures, Chimerical Item, Chimerical Companion
  • Prestige (Shadow Court): 3+ grants Title 1, 4+ grants Resources 3
    • All backgrounds are still under review from staff with the conversion to C20.

Heritage:

  • While we still list it on the +sheet as Kith for code reasons, we do need a +note as well to pick a birthright.
  • Kinain do not have a fae mien, but can use a &faedesc and say something like "People with Kenning can tell this is a Kinain." Or even just add a few words to point out the parts of their physical appearance that points to their Heritage. Not all Kinain will manifest physical features of their Heritage, some it will be more in personality, so some sort of note in the &faedesc is appropriate.
