Merits
| Check the Book List page if you aren't sure what a book abbreviation stands for! |
This page lists all merits in use on Fate's Harvest. If we have missed something, please send in a +request.
- Merits marked with (HR) are custom merits.
- Merits which have HR after their book/page entry have a House Rule detailing changes in how they are used. Click the link to be directed to the House Rules page.
Cheat-Sheet Pages for Use with the +XPS XP Spending Command
- Staff-Set Merits - Merits which will require staff intervention/create a +job
- Repeatable Merits - Merits you can purchase more than once with separate instances (e.g. Allies (Business) and Allies (Religion) are two instances of the Allies merit)
Contents
Changeling Merits
All allowed merits are written below. If a merit you want is not on this list, staff has for some reason decided not to include it in the game. You are welcome to send up a +request to ask for its inclusion/ask why it isn't here.

Fighting Style
Milestone Merits
CG OnlyThe merits below must be taken using dots during initial Character Generation. They cannot be purchased via xp.
Requires StaffThese merits require staff oversight, whether to review mechanics or to help with setting them up in additional systems. They can be purchased using +xps merit/<merit name> to <dot #> like any other merit. XP is not spent until staff sets the merit. Use +req/xp <merit>=<details of your question(s)> to open a job with staff if you have questions prior to making the +xps purchase.
|
Fatebound MeritsPlayers may purchase only one of these merits per character. This is not something you deliberately choose, ICly, to gain, and very few people IC even know that these exist. As they represent narrative archetypes, they will be watched more closely, to ensure that your character truly fits the archetype the merit is supposed to support, and you will be asked to write a brief explanation in your +myjob when they are purchased.
| |
Psychic Merits
The following merits are a blend of Second Sight (SS) and GMC. Many psychic abilities formerly available were removed in GMC. Fate's Harvest staff thinks they are still shiny, so there will be a few House Rules to make things mesh. If a merit was created for Fate's Harvest by staff, it is marked with (HR) for House Rule.
All "Options" are available in SS merits. All "Drawbacks" are required in GMC merits.
- If you have any of these merits, you are considered a Psychic.
- If you have any of these merits, but also follow a Tradition (Hedge Witch, Shaman, Apostle, etc.) you are considered a Thaumaturge.
- If you are a Thaumaturge by template, you may no longer purchase new Psychic abilities with +xps. You'll have to ask staff for help.
ESP Merits
Psychokinetic Merits
|
Mediumist Merits
Telepathic Merits
|
Thaumaturgical Merits
As GMC did not have Thaumaturgical merits at all, these are derived solely from Second Sight.
- Ephemerals - See this page for merits relating to familiars and such.
