Changeling

Playable Race

You are a young faerie who, for some reason or other, was left with human parents to raise.  Why?  Perhaps your birth mother died in childbirth and the family couldn't bare to keep you.  Perhaps your birth mother didn't believe she was fit, so she gave you up. Perhaps you were left in the cradle of a kidnapped human baby for sinister reasons.  These details are up to the player, or they may be left vague; some Changelings never find out why they were left with the humans. 

The true faerie nature is also up to the player.  Cait Sidhe, Hag, Nymph, etc., it's up to you.  The advantage and disadvantages you choose should be reflective of this, and picking them up over time represents your transition to a fully-fledged adult Sidhe.  

As of this moment, you may not even realize what you are yet.  Until you do, you cannot use your faerie abilities such as Feth Fiada and Seeming.  If you don't know what you are yet, then you don't know that you've been under a Seeming for your whole life! Keep in mind that other players (including any that have Feth Fiada themselves) might have Second Sight.  You do as well!

Playing a Changeling

  • This template costs 29 points.
  • The reason you were left with humans, and the exact type of faerie you are, is up to you. Finding out what you are might be part of your story, or maybe you know already.  You may "unlock" your own racial abilities when it feels fitting to do so, or start out with them fully functional. 
  • Don't forget to click "add race abilities!" 

Recommended

  • Choose advantages and disadvantages that make sense for the type of faerie that you truly are. 
  • Plant Empathy, Animal Empathy, Speak With Animals, and Speak With Plants are all common for fae to have. 
  • Since you weren't raised by the faeries, you don't have their code drilled into your head, but you better make it habitual if you ever want to fit in with them. 
  • Take more levels of Glamour to improve your spellcasting. 
  • Detect Cold Iron (5 points)
