Changeling Character Creation

## Characters Creation Rules

Every Changeling must be a kinfolk. You receive the merit: Blood of the Wolf for free. However, you must work with the Storyteller(s) on tribe and purchase the correct amount of purebreed (if applicable) with your background or freebie points.

**Banned Houses:** Balor

**Restricted Arts:** Infusion may only be taken by Nockers, Tale Craft may only be taken by Eshu. Sovereign and Naming may only be taken up to the 3rd dot at CC

**Summer 3 (Aphrodisia) is being replaced with a house ruled cantrip**

Beltane Soul (Summer 3)

Summer is the time of heroes, of great deeds and epic romances, the season of love. It is a season that inspires artists to attempt to capture it, often burning out their passion in the process. A noble Sidhe knight, facing down a mob of angry redcaps, calls on the martial skill of the great heroes of myth, an aura of power surrounding him as he draws his blade to engage them. Elsewhere, a Pooka artist has to complete a painting before her rent comes in, and, facing a nasty case of artists block, calls on the Art of Summer to inspire him, resulting a painting of a field of gold that is breathtaking to witness.

**System:** Every success scored on the Art roll allows the user to add one dice to the Athletics, Melee, Expression, or Crafts skills for the scene. The user may not add more dice to a single skill than their Glamour dots- for instance, a Troll with Glamour four that rolls six successes could add four dice to his melee score, and two to his Athletics score, but not add six dice to his Melee score.

**Languages:** All characters begin play with 2 Languages. Their Native Language and English. If English is your Native Language you will also receive your choice of French Creole or Spanish as they’re the most commonly spoken languages in New Orleans.
