A bane is a weakness like other supernatural creatures, i.e., like sunlight for Vampires, silver for Werewolves, ect., Even acting against a Bane requires spending a Willpower per action, which will not add dice to the pool. Taboos are either compulsions or behavioral restrictions, which occur in situations unique to each Changeling. However, this may be a case where a supplement expanded on this originally, and then, similar to some stuff that I know happened with Mage 2e, Oynx Path directly added stuff from supplements to the 2e core, which I'd say was for the best.įrailties are broken down into two categories: Taboos and Bans. I think this was also present in 1e, but it has been awhile since I've read that book now, and I don't remember the anti-aging features being present there, for example.
#CHANGELING THE LOST 2ND EDITION WYRD UPGRADE#
It definitely makes Wyrd less a straightforward upgrade to acquire, and more a Decision from both a mechanical and roleplaying perspective for the player to wrestle with. almost by itself strikes me as a terrifying drawback, even if getting more Wyrd makes Changelings more capable of fighting off the Fae in the first place. It also is kind of scary, as you are more easily tracked by the Fae which.
Outside of that, as I'm sure Frailities will reinforce, Wyrd really turns Changelings into much more overtly supernatural creatures as they get more of it. Among other things, it opens up some awesome crossover potential with game lines such as Vampire, and otherwise opens up some cool character possibilities, player and otherwise. I could've just been misreading, but I don't remember it extending a Changeling's life by this much, which to me is an excellent change. So before I continue, I'll note how much I like the changes I see in the Wyrd. Otherwise, for every dot of Wyrd, a Changeling lives by approximately twenty more years, but, as a Changeling gets older, their Mein(i.e., what they really look like), shines through a bit more, as they're living from their Wyrd at that point. Next, we get into Longevity, although at the end of is a very helpful table depicting the effects of Wyrd as a character gets more of it. In that respect, they advise it can be used to justify things like improving skills with experiences. isn't a good thing, although the text goes onto say that this is mostly a roleplaying opportunity. Notably losing your last touchstone acts as +1 Wyrd for the purposes of remembering dreams which reinforces that this. We then get into Remembered Dreams, which goes over how the higher a Changeling's Wyrd, the better they are at remembering dreams about Arcadia. Every Changeling starts with one Wyrd, and at character creation, can buy up to two more Wyrd for a total cost of 10 merit dots, five per Wyrd point. It also determines the number and severity of frailties from which your character suffers, reduces penalties from mundane illnesses and fatigue, and determines how many goblin fruits a Changeling may carry into the mortal world. It then goes on to list a number of gameplay effects tied to Wyrd such as Wyrd determining your maximum number of attributes(as at 6+ Wyrd you can go above 5 in attributes), how much Glamour a Changeling can possess at once, acts as their power trait, how much Glamour can be spent per turn, and on the flip side, how easy it is for a fae creature to track a Changeling from Arcadia as higher Wyrd gives them dice bonuses. So its fitting that rights afterwards, it is into the Wyrd! Wyrd is has much magic a Changeling has tapped into, and getting more of it represents a Changeling diving into their magical nature, remembering more of their time in Arcadia, and just becoming better at magic. This section begins with a description of Faerie magic as something that has really planted itself into Changelings. Way, way too much hinges on Clarity for it to be covered as anything but its own post. It also covers Clarity, but that is getting its own post. I'm calling this section Wonders and Terrors as that's in all caps above a section covering Wyrd and Glamour, i.e., Changeling Magic.
