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.
Additional information and clarification on mechanics are provided on the individual Seeming and Kith pages which are linked in the headings and tables below.
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.

If this is part of a full Harvesting action, inspiring an emotion in the target, gain /9 on the roll and gain an additional Glamour. (Total of +1, not +2.) | Add +3 to a Manipulation roll. | |
| Hoofstomper | Quadruple speed only for the purposes of charging. | +2 to a single attack immediately after charging; a successful hit imposes the Knocked Down tilt on the target. | |
