==Changeling Merits==
Have to get a list up here! Everything except the Fatebound ones is available, though, if anyone gets a burning urge to do mundane data entry and put them all in hereShould do it in columns if possible, to make the page less spammy-long.

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.

==Psychic Merits==
The following merits are a blend of Second Sight (SS) and GMC (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.

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.
