Character Generation/Changeling
Revision as of 19:57, 23 August 2020 by WhoopingCrane (talk | contribs)
Important notes
- If you're new to the sphere, we strongly recommend you read this Changeling the Dreaming Primer before proceeding further. This will give you an idea what to expect.
- Increasing Title to 3 and keeping it there is subject to '+policy pc leadership'. Taking it in chargen requires 3+ approved PCs (new or existing) OOCly agreeing ahead of time to join your household/motley.
- Sidhe (both varieties) are limited to either followers of a previously approved sidhe, or leaders with 3+ advance supporters as above.
- As of July 2020, pooka are somewhat overdone; please consider choosing a different kith.
- While 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.
Choose concept, court (set as both Faction and Court), Legacy Seelie, Legacy Unseelie, house (if any), seeming and kith
- House rule: When open, Autumn Sidhe (C20) are allowed and are listed as such on +sheet; Arcadian Sidhe are just "Sidhe" on +sheet
- Shadow Court: set Faction = Unseelie, Court = Shadow

Record beginning Glamour, Willpower and Banality as determined by your seeming.
| Seeming | Glamour | Willpower | Banality | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Childling | 5 | 1 | 1 | Though you are little more than a child in mind and body, no one can deny the wisdom behind your eyes. NOTE: As PCs must be at least 18 years of age, we DO NOT allow Childling PCs. |
| Wilder | 4 | 2 | 3 | You are a teenager in attitude and appearance. Radical and experimental, you chase after the stuff of new dreams. NOTE: PCs must be at least 18 years of age. |
| Grump | 3 | 5 | 5 | You are a full-grown adult, seen by most changelings as "over the hill." Despite this, you are respected. |

Note kith Birthrights and Frailties. If they affect your mortal seeming, then they're recorded via permanent +effect (ask staff to set these).

| Ghille dhu (wilder) | +1 Appearance, +1 Strength | Yes |
| Piskey | +1 Dexterity | Yes |
| Satyr | +1 Stamina | Yes |
