Kiths
Kiths
Fate's Harvest has revised seemings and kiths to provide a more diverse and interesting experience for our players. This includes the creation of eleven new kiths to balance the offerings across seemings. It is strongly advised that all Changeling players familiarize themselves with these changes. The rules on the wiki will always be favored over the rules in the book; if there is ever any ambiguity which needs to be resolved, please file a +request with staff.
- Any italicized entry below is pretty true the original mechanics. The normal text is our house ruled and custom content.
- Additional information and clarification on mechanics are provided on the individual Seeming and Kith pages which are linked in the headings and tables below.
- An explanation of general rules pertaining to kiths can be found on the House Rules page.
- Detailed information on the few changes made to seeming blessings can also be found on the House Rules page.
- Whenever Wyrd/2 or 'half the changeling's Wyrd' is referenced, round up unless otherwise specified.
ALPHA TESTING
The information on this page is currently in the alpha testing phase. It is incomplete and has not yet undergone full staff review. Please do NOT provide feedback on kith blessings yet. When Rainier is finished with the first path of the kith updates and staff agrees everything looks workable, we'll open it up for full alpha tester review. In the meantime, this page will be updated to provide sneak previews at our work in progress. Thanks for your patience!
Seeming and Kith
Even if you have multiple Kiths, you can only ever have one Seeming. You gain the blessings and curses from ONLY your primary Kith's Seeming, but gain the kith blessings of all other Kiths you may have through the Dual Kith merit, Wyrd Evolution or the Pilgrims of the Endless Road Entitlement.
The handy +kith command will show you all of your Seeming and Kith blessings and curses, including those provided by High Wyrd.
Definitions
- Passive Blessing: Bonuses always available to any character with the appropriate kith at no cost to use.
- Active Blessing: Abilities which require 1 Glamour to activate, unless otherwise noted.
- High Wyrd Blessing: Upgrades to existing blessings which are bestowed at Wyrd 7.
