Fairest
Changeling the Lost: 113
Blessing: These changelings really are the Fairest of
Them All, and their magic only emphasizes this. The player
can spend Glamour to improve dice pools that include Presence,
Manipulation and Persuasion. Each point spent increases
one dice pool by one point.
A changeling counted among the Fairest also suffers no untrained
penalty for using Social skills in which she has no dots.
Curse: The Fairest, similar to the creatures who stole
them, can be callous and unfeeling, vicious and prone to toy
with others, even people who love them. Their inner balance
suffers for this. One of the Fairest suffers a –1 die penalty on
dice pools to avoid losing Clarity (for example, the player of a
Fairest with Clarity 5 who kills another changeling rolls two
dice to avoid losing Clarity, rather than three).
Kith: Muse
Changeling the Lost: 114
Their beauty inspires the arts. Whether a Rubenesque
beauty, a sedate and delicate daughter of the Heavenly
Ministry, a grotesquely beautiful masque or garbed in yellow
tatters, or a Dark Lady who drives her beloved to destruction,
the Muse inspires the creation of things of beauty and horror
and love and hate and fear. The growth of confidence can
precipitate a headlong rush to doom, and the Muse knows
how to make it happen. The Muse’s talent is
The Tyranny
of Ideas: the changeling’s presence can give a human the
confidence and talent to do things that he otherwise would
not be able to do. For every point of Glamour the changeling
spends, the human subject (and it must be human; it can’t be
another changeling or another supernatural being) gains +2
on one dice pool involving Expression, Persuasion, Socialize
or Subterfuge.
Kith: Shadowsoul
Changeling the Lost - Winter Masques: 84
The antithesis of the Bright Ones,
these fae are the most beautiful chosen of the nigh.
Their beauty comes from the darkness they swathe
themselves in rather than the light they radiate. They
were the favored concubines, adornments and handmaidens
to nocturnal Keepers, and are distant
cousins to the Darklings.
The Shadowsoul’s blessing is the
Unnatural
Chill: the player gains a bonus to Intimidation
rolls equal to her Wyrd, and receives
the benefit of the 9 again rule to Subterfuge rolls. In addition, she may purchase
Contracts of Darkness as affinity Contracts.
