Merits

Where any and all information about accepted merits/HRs for them exist. May have to do more HR stuff elsewhere, but at the moment, Annapurna is adding text here as a way to get the Psychic stuff up where it can be seen.

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 here. Should do it in columns if possible, to make the page less spammy-long.

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.

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.

ESP Merits

• Astral Projection ••• (SS p.36)
• Clairvoyance ••• (GMC p.172)
• Clairvoyance • (HR) - Prerequisite: Clairvoyance ••• - This merit allows a psychic to add an alternate method of scrying to her repertoire. It may be purchased multiple times. Specify a new scrying method (crystal ball gazing, etc.) with each purchase.
• Dowsing • (SS p.38)
• Dream Travel • to ••••• (SS pp.38-9)
• Postcognition • or ••• (SS p.40)
• Precognition •••• (SS pp.40-1)
• Psychometry ••• (GMC p.174)

Mediumist Merits

• Automatic Writing •• (SS)
• Channeling ••• (SS)
• Death Sight •• (SS)
• Ghost Calling ••• (SS)

Psychokinetic Merits

• Biokinesis • to ••••• (SS/GMC/HR) - GMC removed most of the SS functionality from this merit. Much of the SS functionality has been added back in. The GMC functionality has been retained (1 Willpower + 1 minute of concentration = shift Physical attribute dots around; only shift as many dots as you have dots in Biokinesis, and no attribute can go above 5 dots).

Of what was possible in SS, the following has been retained:

Passive Bonus: +1 dice bonus per Biokinesis merit dot to rolls for entering a trance/beginning meditation

Roll extended Intelligence + Composure to acquire one temporary merit-equivalent, spending successes to 'buy' them.

The psychic must meet all prerequisites for the merit she attempts to give herself.

The psychic must have Biokinesis dots equal to success-cost + 1. (e.g. a 1-success merit requires Biokinesis ••)

Effects last 1 scene unless specified otherwise.

If one of the extended rolls is an Exceptional Success, the psychic may choose a second effect to spend successes on.

Each roll's duration represents minutes equal to the desired trait's success cost. Only one (or two with Exceptional) effect may be active at a time.

• Eidetic Memory (WoD p.108) - 2 successes
• Fast Reflexes (WoD p.110) - 1 or 2 successes
