Milestone Merits
CG OnlyThe merits below must be taken using dots during initial Character Generation. They cannot be purchased via xp.
Requires StaffThese merits require staff oversight, whether to review mechanics or to help with setting them up in additional systems. They can be purchased using +xps merit/<merit name> to <dot #> like any other merit. XP is not spent until staff sets the merit. Use +req/xp <merit>=<details of your question(s)> to open a job with staff if you have questions prior to making the +xps purchase.

Fatebound MeritsPlayers may purchase only one of these merits per character. This is not something you deliberately choose, ICly, to gain, and very few people IC even know that these exist. As they represent narrative archetypes, they will be watched more closely, to ensure that your character truly fits the archetype the merit is supposed to support, and you will be asked to write a brief explanation in your +myjob when they are purchased.

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.
