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.

You are not limited to what is on this list; For information on fleshing out your own Kith, refer to Winter Masques p. 59. All new kiths must be approved by staff, which may take a bit of back and forth.
You may forgo a Kith blessing to go Kithless. For information on how to gain a Kith in this situation, refer to Winter Masques p. 59.
For information on shedding a Kith or Seeming, refer to Winter Masques p. 99.

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.

Chimera (WM 106)	+3 to all social rolls when interacting with creatures from the Hedge.	Reflexively gain /rote on a single roll to contest or avoid any contract or supernatural effect targeting the chimera specifically.

Nix (WM 107)	/9 on all Survival and Persuasion rolls performed in aquatic environments.

Climb up to 30' as an instant action on a successful climb check. Only one success is necessary to manage the 30' in this manner.	The passive Athletics bonus for balance checks/maneuvering when moving in high places applies on any unsteady or elevated surface (ice, greasy floors, ledges, branches, cliffs, railings, curbs, fence-tops, etc.), regardless of height.
Swimmerskin (CtL 102, WM 65)	Hold breath as if possessing Stamina 7 (30 minutes) and swim at full speed.	For one round, reflexively, move to the top of the initiative and triple movement speed while underwater.	Breath can be held for 60 minutes; gain +3 to speed while swimming.

Ignore up to -2 in penalties related specifically to low-light conditions or darkness. Weather conditions such as mist or snow do not qualify for this bonus.

Once per scene, roll Manipulation+Subterfuge to either ask the ST a question per success about the person being impersonated OR add the successes to a single roll relevant to the impersonated person's abilities.

Derangement fades at sunrise for Changelings, but lasts a full month for mortals.	The Moonborn is more in touch with the ebb and flow of her madness, gaining greater skill at wielding its changeable power. When using Lunatic's Kiss on mortals, she can temporarily lessen its effects by touching her target, reducing the inflicted derangement's severity by one step for the remainder of the scene.
Nightsinger (WM 72)	+2 on Expression rolls and Empathy rolls to read emotions.	Once per scene, draw an audience's darker feelings to surface by rolling Wits + Expression + Wyrd vs Composure + Wyrd.

This does not include microscopic life. In addition, animals he controls gain a +1 to actions taken under his influence, to represent the ferocity, cleverness and overall dedication toward fanatical obedience.
Tunnelgrub (CtL 106, WM 71)	Gain the benefits of the Double-Jointed merit.	The changeling can slip, slide and squeeze through tight or twisty spaces no human could fit through. Escaping narrowly-spaced prison bars? Child's play. If the distance is longer than Wyrd yards, the Tunnelgrub must make a successful extended Dexterity + Athletics roll and gain at least 3 successes (or more, ST decision pending for extremely long squirm-travel), or be stuck until he spends Glamour to use this ability once again. Dramatic failure means the character is stuck and cannot use this talent again to help escape.	Gain a +2 bonus to resist Grapples, due to the Tunnelgrub's slippery hide/experience with wriggling out of confinement.
Whisperwisp (WM 73)	/9 on Empathy and Subterfuge rolls used to gather information.	Whisper a message to anyone within normal earshot.	The message may be whispered to anyone within Wyrd miles. The Whisperwisp may choose whether or not the target automatically understands who whispered it to them.

Metalflesh (WM 79)	Using Willpower to bolster a resistance roll grants +4 instead of +2.	Once per day, the Metalflesh may spend 1 Glamour to add +2 to Stamina, Resolve or Composure for the remainder of the scene. This benefit does alter derived stats, providing for greater health or willpower, depending, due to the Metalflesh's inhuman resilience. Damage on these extra dots transfers to the character's original dots at the end of the scene, unless healed.	Downgrade up to Wyrd points of Lethal damage to Bashing. Usable once per scene.
Poisonpetal (Custom)	+3 to resist natural poisons.	Once per scene, apply toxin to target's skin or single serving of food/drink. Skin contact or ingestion bestows Drugged or Poisoned (Moderate) to a single target.	The Poisonpetal may use per Active Blessing twice per scene.

Effect of Active Blessing lasts for Wyrd x 2 turns instead, or until the Sandharrowed chooses to end it. During this period, while no one can harm her, she cannot harm others, either. Falling into a glassworking furnace or being similarly exposed to great sources of heat WILL cause damage to the Sandharrowed, however, as sufficient heat will melt sand.
Snowskin (CtL 110, WM 76)	/9 on Intimidation and Subterfuge rolls.	Reflexively reroll a failed Intimidation or Subterfuge roll. Can only be used once for any specific roll.	Gain the /rote quality on rolls intended to conceal through nonreaction, icy reserve and unreadability unmelting.
Waterborn (CtL 110, WM 77)	Breathe underwater and swim at full speed.	Grant the ability to breathe underwater and swim at full speed to an ally for Wyrd minutes per Glamour spent.	Swim speed doubled for both blessings.
Woodblood (CtL 110, WM 77)	Gain bonuses to cultivating plants as if possessing Plant Empathy, using Wyrd/2 to determine bonus. Bonus also applies to Stealth and Survival rolls while on soil or natural surfaces. The Woodblood may use this Stealth to conceal herself in naturally growing material even if it logically should not work (i.e. a lawn, a garden, a forest -- not a stand of potted plants).	Add Wyrd to Stealth rolls made in any vegetation which might conceivably cover the Woodblood.	On a successful Wits + Empathy roll, the Woodblood may identify whether any mundane plant is helpful, harmful, edible or not, even if it is dried, shredded, or otherwise mangled beyond ordinary identification.

-==ALPHA TESTING==
+You are not limited to what is on this list; For information on fleshing out your own Kith, refer to Winter Masques p. 59.  All new kiths must be approved by staff, which may take a bit of back and forth.<br>
-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!

-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.
