The successor to Changeling: The Dreaming and fifth of the Chronicles of Darkness games, following Vampire, Werewolf, Mage and Promethean. Player characters are Changelings, humans who were stolen from their lives by the True Fae of Arcadia and kept as slaves or servants. Changelings are no longer entirely human, having been tormented in positively Lovecraftian ways until they were broken in either body, mind, soul, or all of the above, and then rebuilt according to the True Fae's whims. The player characters, and many non-player character Changelings, are those who managed to fight, sneak, run, or trick their way back to freedom and the mortal world, but even when they return they bear the scars of their experience. Their very bodies have been changed into inhuman shapes. Their eyes have been opened so that they can see the truth of things, but they are also beset by hallucinations and tricks of perception. Worst of all is the constant, nagging worry: what if I never escaped? What if this is all a trick... or if I was allowed to leave?Even if it isn't the bleakest thing White Wolf has included in either Old World of Darkness or Chronicles of Darkness (that honor goes to Wraith: The Oblivion), it is almost certainly among the most melancholic and a stark contrast to its idealistic predecessor. There is no redemption, no way to go back to what you once were. The True Fae are infinite, their sorcery unstoppable, and their appetites impossible to slake. The Changelings can either resume their old lives knowing that they could be helping but aren't, or they can take on their new lives, safe in the knowledge that their endeavors will be at best a moist towelette on the raging bonfire of the Fae. If, by some miracle, they do become powerful enough to truly take on the True Fae, the results aren't pretty. On the other hand, there is a deep emphasis on relationships, interconnection, and wonder that isn't there in other Chronicles of Darkness games. Being only slightly better than humans, Changelings must rely on others—their Motley, their Freehold, their Entitlement—to help them take on most threats and maintain their hold on what sanity remains to them. In addition, several sourcebooks note that for all the horrors of the Changeling existence, they also experience incredible beauty and fantastic marvels that most mortals can never see.Changeling was the second "limited cycle" game after Promethean, with a set number of sourcebooks, but proved popular enough that the line got extended for a few more books. The original five sourcebooks shared the same "seasonal" motif as the Changelings themselves: Rites of Spring gives more details regarding the specifics of Changeling life, the Hedge, and Fae magic, Lords of Summer elaborates on each seasonal Court, its place in a Freehold, and the noble Entitlements Changelings can join, Autumn Nightmares gives specifics on enemies and antagonists a Changeling might face, Winter Masques describes the Seemings and Kiths in more detail, as well as listing new potential Kiths and Courts from around the globe, and Equinox Road gives rules for high-powered and endgame play, including the dread truth behind the origins of the True Fae. The secondary sourcebooks were Swords at Dawn, which gives examples of change, Narrative Causality, and war amongst Changelings, Dancers in the Dusk, which describes endings, dreams, nightmares and fate, and Grim Fears, part of the Night Horrors mini-line of World of Darkness antagonists, focused on Fae-themed monsters and enemies.There have also been some PDF supplements: a set of Ready-Made PCs, Goblin Markets, a guide to those strange, peculiar markets where virtually anything is for sale, if you're willing to pay the price, and Victorian Lost, exploring changelings in Victorian Britain.As of GenCon 2014, a 2nd edition of Changeling was announced, eventually being released on January 16th, 2019.The various Splats of Changeling are as follows:The Seemings: The inborn classification of the Lost, representing the scars of each Changeling's time in Faerie and the manner of their keeping. Each Seeming is associated with a number of Kiths or subgroupings. Beasts: Those who were transformed into animals by their keepers. This Seeming includes those who are associated with real-life animals such as hounds, lions, and eagles, as well as those associated with fictional or mythical animals such as griffins, mermaids and sphinxes. Beasts gain supernatural composure and animal magnetism from their Seeming, but lose some of their mental ability as they have had trouble regaining their human faculties. Beast Kiths vary from outright embodiment of specific animals to embodying animals as they are associated with certain traits and qualities. From the corebook; Broadbacks (those of great endurance... and stubbornness), Hunterhearts (predators and other creatures with built-in weaponry), Runnerswifts (creatures of remarkable speed), Skitterskulks (creepy-crawlies or other creatures with jittering reflexes), Steepscramblers (climbing animals), Swimmerskins (aquatic and water-loving creatures), Venombites (poisonous animals) and Windwings (flying animals). To these, "Winter Masques" added the Cleareyes (representing creatures renowned for their senses), Coldscales (reptiles), Roteaters (carrion-eating beasts) and Truefriends (representing pets, pack animals, or others emphasizing loyalty to others). They also got one extra kith in "Grim Fears"; the Riddleseekers kith embodies animals as representatives of wisdom and cunning (sphinxes, spiders, snakes, owls, etc). Culture-based Beast Kiths (Also from Winter Masques) include: Chimeras (mix-and-match creatures who get along with hobgoblins), Coyotes (clever and greedy beasts), and Nixes (watery beings with intoxicating voices). Darklings: Often taken for breaking some obscure or arcane law of the Fae, Darklings were taken to lands of nightmare to become nightmares themselves. Boogeymen, face-changers, gargoyles, succubi, and scholars of lore mankind ought not know make up the ranks of this Seeming. Darklings are witty and adept at lying and hiding, but find their magic less effective during daylight hours, due to their bond to the darkness. Corebook Darkling Kiths are the Antiquarians (keepers of ancient lore and forgotten knowledge), Gravewights (those with ties to death and the undead), Leechfingers (soul-suckers, breath-stealers and blood-drinkers), Mirrorskins (shapeshifters and face-changers) and Tunnelgrubs (things that crawl and squirm below the ground). "Winter Masques" added Lurkgliders (gargoyles and flying... things), Moonborn (children of the moon and madness), Nightsingers (players of "the music of the night"), Palewraiths (spectres, shadows, and the like), Razorhands (serial killer-style nightmares) and Whisperwisps (spies and rumor-whisperers). "Victorian Lost" offers up the Lurkers (master thieves and pickpockets). Culture-based Darkling Kiths (Also from Winter Masques) include: Illes (Icelandic trolls with illusory beauty), Pishacha (Hindu cloud spirits that induce madness), and Skogsra (animal-controlling forest-dwellers). Elementals: Humans taken and transformed into inanimate 'things' - statues, snowdrifts, pools, streams, puffs of air, dolls, and other, more obscure items and substances. Connected as they are to the "bones of the earth," to the most primal, basic, and often durable of substances, Elementals have the ability to endure stunning amounts of punishment and damage, but they have trouble dealing with and understanding humans. How do you identify with standard-issue mortals when you've spent time as a tree, or a bonfire, or the sky itself? The Seeming whose kiths are most straightforward; the corebook Elementals are Airtouched (air), Earthbones (earth and stone), Fireheart (fire), Manikin (man-made items), Snowskin (cold), Waterborn (water) and Woodblood (plants). "Winter Masques" introduced the Blightbent (pollution), Levinquick (electricity), Metalflesh (metal) and Sandharrowed (sand) kiths. Culture-based Elemental Kiths (also from Winter Masques) include: Apsaras (watery tarts who induce lust), Ask-wee-da-eed (will-o'-the-wisps who bring bad luck), and Di-cang (jeweled Bodhisattvas who ease pain and... uh, break into things). Fairest: Of Them All. Mortals taken by the Fae and sculpted into images of beauty (or, at least, of intriguing attractiveness), then kept in torturous ecstasy by their keepers. The Fairest were often used as pleasure slaves or concubines by the Fae. Others were singers and dancers, or cast as statues to be viewed and enjoyed by the Gentry. A rare few (especially of the Draconic kith) were warrior-artists or magical monsters like dragons and chimeras. Due to their preternatural beauty and grace, Fairest wield advanced presence, persuasive skill, and social poise, but their separation from humanity (and, in some ways, from other Lost) tends to hasten their descent into madness. Fairest have the greatest variety of kiths. Bright Ones embody light. Dancers used their grace and agility to amuse their Keeper. Draconics embody the glory of the Great Beasts; dragons, chimerae, manticores and the like. Flowering Fairest were used as literal pieces of horticultural art or scent to use their seductive musks upon others. Muses were used to inspire, be it admiration, disgust or fear. Of their "Winter Masques" kiths: Flamesirens represent the entrancing beauty of fire. Polychromatics are living embodiments of the shifting rainbow. Shadowsouls show how darkness can be beautiful as light. Telluric Fairest are bonded to the stars and the celestial bodies. Treasured were living trophies to be admired and coveted by their Keeper. "Grim Fears" adds another set: Minstrels amused their Keeper with music and/or song. Romancers were the idealized lovers of the True Fae, and punished terribly for being anything less than perfect. Larcenists stole for their Keepers, and often stole their freedom from their Keepers. Perhaps worst of all, the Playmates were taken to be the "best friend" of a childish True Fae. Culture-based Fairest Kiths (also from Winter Masques) include: Gandharva (eloquent androgynes), Succubus (or Incubus) (beautiful seducers), and Weisse Frau (gentle protectors). Ogres: Victims of monstrous brutality, Ogres had to become brutal monsters to survive. Often, but not always, big and imposing, Ogres can be cunning cyclopes, massive giants, nimble and bloodthirsty redcaps, or surly trolls. Their strength and fighting skill have been boosted by their Durances, and they can be terrifying when they wish, but the workings of the Others can leave them gullible and sometimes dull-witted, often with short tempers. Cyclopeans are Ogres with preternaturally accurate senses, though the ogres are often maimed or handicapped in some way. Farwalkers are bestial Ogres of the wilderness. Gargantuans are giants even among Ogres. Gristlegrinders are gifted and cursed with gnashing maws (and often a matching hunger for flesh). Stonebones display the toughness of a mountain cliffside. Water-Dwellers are amphibious Ogres. Of new Kiths introduced in "Winter Masques": Bloodbrutes are survivors of Arcadian gladiatorial arenas and wrestling rings. Corpsegrinders were fed on death. Renders can destroy almost anything they touch, a legacy of their time as laborers with no tools save their hands, or as living siege weapons. Witchteeth are Ogres who have proven more receptive to the mystical side of their Faerie nature, embodying the cruel man-eating witch and the magic-wielding giant of old lore. Culture-based Ogre Kiths (from Winter Masques) include: Daitya (giants who rend and tear with supernatural ease), Oni (demons who gain power from the blood of the sinful), and Trolls (manipulative brutes). Wizened: The Wizened endured endless tortures, then lives of undignified, often pointless drudgery, at the hands of their Keepers. They cleaned the houses, dens, or lairs of their Fae captors, crafted tools and machines, healed (or helped to alter) other Changeling captives, and sometimes served as butlers or cooks in the Fae households. Each Wizened has been 'reduced' in some way - height, weight, size, or sheer physical presence has been shrunk. Some are dwarfish, others unnaturally thin, and still others seem less 'real' than other people. Wizened are clever and nimble, often able to dodge attacks with unbelievable skill, but most are spiteful, shy, or otherwise have trouble dealing with people. The Wizened kiths all relate to the tasks they performed. Artists (obsessive craftsmen), Brewers (creators of heady and potent potables), Chatelaines (impeccably-mannered valets and diplomats), Chirurgeons (unrivaled doctors and surgeons), Oracles (fortunetellers), Smiths (forgers of magical tools), Soldiers (battle-scarred swordsmen), and Woodwalkers (survivors of alien wildernesses), "Winter Masques" adds: Authors (master polyglots), Drudges (swift but overlooked workers), Gameplayers (clever masters of trivial pursuits), and Miners (telegraphing without the telegraph). "Victorian Lost" adds Inventors (makers of technological wonders). "Swords at Dawn" adds Fatemakers (those skilled in Talecrafting better than others). Culture-based Wizened Kiths (from Winter Masques) include: Gremlins (tinkerers who render equipment useless), Pamarindo (greasy but sustaining epicures), and Thussers (mesmerizing musicians).Second Edition modifies the Seeming/Kith setup: your Seeming is based on what happened in Arcadia, how you escaped or how you approach the world now, whereas your Kith is a specialization your Keeper imposed upon you or something you gained through the Hedge. Any Kith can belong to any Seeming, and will manifest in an appropriate fashion. A seventh Seeming was introduced in World of Darkness: Dark Eras during the development period, before the book was completely developed.The Courts: Half political party, a third support group, 5/7ths ruling body, and .75 masonic lodge, the Courts are the chosen Splats of Changeling. The various court systems offer protection from the Others by confusing Them with the sharing of power - or, at least, this is the theory.The Seasonal Courts - The most commonly-followed Court system in Europe and the Americas, this court system changes power with the seasons, the Spring Court handing over rule of the Freehold to the Summer Court on the Solstice. These courts tend to have "splinter" courts, in those areas with slightly different takes on the seasons — an equatorial country may have Dry Season and Wet Season courts as the only courts, both splitting off from Summer. Spring Court - After being twisted and stunted by the Gentry for so long, Changelings should have the ability to grow again. The Antler Crown is all about growth, healing, and rejuvenation. They dive into life, often developing a strong presence in the mortal world. Their court emotion is Desire. Variants include Short Springnote Like the land itself, the Changelings grow swift and verdant, but tend to be fickle and indecisive. The Growing Season Court is about the time of greenery outpouring, fast rains, animals breeding. Their court emotion is Desire's shade: Lust. and Whirlwind Springnote These Changelings allow their desires to run rampant, dark and mad urges and whims dragging them unpredictably here and there. This utter lack of control makes them mavericks, and they are often outside the court system proper.. Summer Court - If the Gentry return, we'll be ready. The Iron Spear is focused on martial prowess and strength (or skill) in general, and often stands as the freehold's army. The ranks of Summer also include generals, scouts, and the occasional diplomat or lawyer. Their court emotion is Wrath. Variants include the Dry Seasonnote Summer is a time of brittleness, dryness, bitterness, cracking. These Changelings explode into frenzies of hate and wrath at unpredictable intervals that can scour those who oppose them like a roaring conflagration. Their court emotion is Rage. and the Monsoon Season.note Revenge is not a dish to serve cold, but piping hot, fresh and bloody. These Changelings clamor and howl vindication of broken hearts and betrayed pledges — their wrath is personal to them. Always. Their court emotion is Sanguine. Autumn Court - The best way to beat the Gentry is to understand how they work. The Leaden Mirror consists of occultists, Hedge wanderers, and sorcerers. They learn and develop powerful Contracts, catalogue the weaknesses of the True Fae, and even study the other strange denizens of the Chronicles of Darkness. Their court emotion is Fear. Winter Court - We drew the attention of the Gentry once, and we sure as hell won't do it again. The Silent Arrow deals in stealth, secrets, and obfuscation, with the main goal of keeping the Lost safe by keeping them secret. Members serve as spies or scouts and often create safe houses for others of their Court or Freehold. Their court emotion is Sorrow. One variant is the Dead Seasonnote in the depths of the Long Winter, sorrow and grief lose all of their passion, becoming so deep and all-consuming that one can barely muster any emotion at all. The court emotion of these tundra-like Changelings is Despair..The Directional Courts - Wide portions of Asia, including Japan, China, and surrounding countries, follow this system, which divides the Freehold into quarters, each ruled by an Emperor. North Court - The best way to resist the depredations of the Gentry is to guard one's self against the burdens of the world. The Court of the Tortoise consists of ascetics and disciplined scholars who expose themselves to pain and exposure, believing that the Others won't take them again if the courtiers have nothing to lose. Their court emotion is Suffering. East Court - The best way to shore one's self against the Gentry is to build power and influence. Businessmen and manipulators, the Court of the Serpent uses wealth and notoriety to maintain their kingdoms. Courtiers often develop sprawling webs of influence and status. Their court emotion is Envy. South Court - The Gentry opened our mind to new senses, and the best way to adapt is to lose yourself in them. Artists and Ecstatics, the Court of the Phoenix throws itself into its interests with passions unmatched by others. They believe that the strength of their emotion grants them power with which to defend against the Others. Their court emotion is Ecstasy. West Court - We will stand against the Gentry and protect the others of the freehold at all costs. Warriors and generals, the Court of the Tiger stands firm against all threats. Unlike the less controlled Summer court, the West Court tends toward rigid, almost obsessive discipline. Their court emotion is Honor.The Diurnal Courts - Followed in areas of Eastern Europe, this system changes power at twilight and focuses on balance and equal opposition, each court seeking to overcome and undo the works of the other. Sun Court - One must stand against the sins of the world and serve as a beacon to others. The Court of the Day is dedicated to serving as paladins, priests, and moral figures to the rest of the freehold. Much as the Others cannot understand the sharing of power, they say, They cannot understand true virtue, and so living virtuously offers a defense. Their court emotion is Shame. Moon Court - The world is a sinful place, and sin can give you strength. The Court of the Night consists of malcontents, criminals and radicals who deal in vice and laugh in the face of unyielding righteousness. After having been controlled by their Keepers, Moon Courtiers refuse to allow society to dictate their actions. Their court emotion is Disgust.Other Courts - Some freeholds follow court systems even more obscure than those listed above. The Dawn and Dusk courts, for example, change power depending on the whims of fate and the welfare of the Freehold itself. Dawn Court - There's always the chance things will change, if you're willing to sacrifice, and things can always get better. The Court of the Dawn is made up of visionaries, martyrs, and others who believe that with hard work and change, things can improve. Their court emotion is Hope. Dusk Court - Everything's going to Hell in a hand-basket - the Freehold, the world, everything. 'Course, that just means you've got to work, fight, and party like it's your last day alive, 'cuz, heck, it probably is. Dusk Courtiers are warriors, seers, and others with the strength to accept that a dark fate was coming but face it nonetheless. Their court emotion is Fatalism.The 2nd Edition corebook features several sets of alternate Court systems. One calls itself a single Court with three "Societies" (Morning, Day, and Night), while the others are the four Tidal Courts (High, Ebb, Low, and Flood) and the four Traders' Courts (Coins, Barter, Favors, and Shady Deals).Terminology, with translations: Every Changeling (Character) was once a perfectly normal (or at most mildly exceptional) human taken by one of the True Fae, enduring a Durance (length of time) in Arcadia, and frequently replaced by a Fetch (almost-twin) created by their True Fae abductor to fill their place in the real world. Surviving in Arcadia shapes the abducted into a member of one of six Seemings, (class) probably with an associated Kith (sub-class). Once they have returned, most Changelings choose to join a Court (faction) of like-minded Changelings, which gives the Changeling extra power and an infrastructure to draw upon. Changelings enact powers known as Contracts (spells), which represent clauses in ancient deals brokered between the Fae and aspects of reality itself. A city full of Changelings is known as a Freehold generally made up of one or more Motleys (parties), small groups of allied Changelings. Some Changelings further join an Entitlement (prestige class) for more power, allies, or what have you. | |

And Then John Was a Zombie | |
| Changeling: The Lost (Tabletop Game) / int_115d318 | comment |
And Then John Was a Zombie: Sometimes high-Wyrd and low-Clarity Changelings find themselves called to return to Arcadia, there to become True Fae themselves. There's also a very subtle implication: the True Fae occupy themselves by making up fictional characters, settings, and items, and then enacting stories with them for their own amusement. Remind you of anyone? | |

Supernatural Angst | |
| Changeling: The Lost (Tabletop Game) / int_1224c6c8 | comment |
Supernatural Angst: Fully and horribly justified by the horrors Changelings have endured, and generally continue to endure. Let's see... the Beasts were turned into either savage predators or fearful prey and had the capability for rational thought ripped from them. The Darklings were taken for breaking some unknown law and submerged in nightmares. The Elementals were transformed into pure natural forces and still remain divorced from human thought patterns. The Fairest were used as sex slaves and underwent Durances that bounced between utter luxury and unimaginable hell. The Ogres were all, by definition, abuse victims. And the Wizened were turned into slaves and craftsmen, subjected to random spite, and often tricked into thinking they'd escaped from Arcadia, only to have their Keepers collapse the illusion in the cruelest way possible. | |

Sliding Scale of Free Will vs. Fate: Changeling as a gameline lies somewhere in the middle. Fate, alternately known as the Wyrd, is a definite force in the lives of the fae, but not every fated prophecy will come to pass. | |

Winds of Destiny, Change! | |
| Changeling: The Lost (Tabletop Game) / int_12b045 | comment |
Winds of Destiny, Change!: The Contracts of Hearth allow one of the Lost to grant good or bad luck - but use them wrong or too often, and the effects reverse. For some of the weaker clauses, this simply makes things more flexible (you can grant a curse rather than a blessing). For others, the ill luck affects YOU. The Wyrd knows, and it does not enjoy being used. | |

| Changeling: The Lost (Tabletop Game) / int_13f7da6 | comment |
Instant Expert: One of the early Clauses of the Contract of Animation is to give the Changeling who uses it an innate knowledge of how to use a device. Combined with the ability to gain Skill and Merit bonuses through Pledgecraft, or to use a Merit to draw knowledge from the collective dreams of mankind, this means that a Changeling could go from computer illiterate to Googling away in a few moments, and become a fairly serviceable hacker overnight. | |

Several of the pregenerated changelings and True Fae are references. Wild Sam (from Night Horrors, Grim Fears) is a Darker and Edgier Max from Where the Wild Things Are. The minotaur mentioned in The Equinox Road is strikingly similar to the Minotaur from House of Leaves. | |

Power Creep, Power Seep | |
| Changeling: The Lost (Tabletop Game) / int_14dfb81 | comment |
Power Creep, Power Seep: Second Edition grants Changelings a fair bit more potency than before. Each Kith has two enhancements - a Kith Blessing that causes a skill used in a particular way to achieve an Exceptional Success on three successes instead of five, and a "Trickery" that is a power unique to that Kith, usually activated by spending a glamour and rolling a die pool though some exceptions exist. Contracts in general are also more potent than they were in First Edition. Fae Touched. In first edition it was a term that referred to anything that had a connection with the Wyrd, from Changelings to insects the Hedge mutated into a fae-swarm, to the children of a Fetch. In Second Edition, they're people who have made a significant promise with someone who has become a Changeling, found their way into the Hedge and have come out again empowered. They're not as potent as a Changeling nor do they have a Seeming or Kith, but they can learn contracts, are able to feel the pain of the Changeling they made a promise with and can sense the direction of that Changeling as well. | |

What Did You Expect When You Named It ____? | |
| Changeling: The Lost (Tabletop Game) / int_1646dd01 | comment |
What Did You Expect When You Named It New Lyonesse?: It's because of situations like this that Changelings avoid naming their freeholds after myths, legends, or fairy tales - the Wyrd sometimes like to make sure the story repeats itself. Mention is made of "the grave fate that befell New Lyonesse." | |

Anti-Magic | |
| Changeling: The Lost (Tabletop Game) / int_18bf4326 | comment |
Anti-Magic: One of the multiple in-universe theories about why Cold Iron harms the True Fae is that it is the most non-magical substance on earth, and is therefore anathema to Fae magic. With the added implication that people's insistence on attributing magical power to it with all of their fanciful stories will eventually make it lose this property. | |

Transhuman Treachery | |
| Changeling: The Lost (Tabletop Game) / int_19f6e383 | comment |
Transhuman Treachery: This is what happens when an Autumn Courtier gets a little too low on the ol' Clarity-meter — though any Changeling can fall prey to such, Autumn's philosophies are more predisposed toward it. Arguably, Privateers and Loyalists as well, as they all too often will be right there condemning the poor Muggles to the same fate they endured for profit, fear, or twisted loyalty to their insane masters. | |

Rumors in the book are to be taken with a grain of salt (they're in-character pieces, and changelings are prone to assume things without all - or any - of the facts). Said rumor sidebar also claims they lose bits of themselves due to their abilities, which is simply not true. | |

Deal with the Devil | |

Deal with the Devil: Some Changelings were abducted due to deals of this kind. Protip: if someone calling himself "the blue man with willow-thistle arms" offers to solve your problems, don't take him up on it. Almost any deal with a Changeling or True Fae can become like this, due to their ability to bind agreements into Pledges and the ability most develop with contracts and loopholes. Many a mortal has tried to get the better on a Changeling only to find himself snared in a catch-22 and looking down the barrel of a greater curse for his troubles. | |

With Great Power Comes Great Insanity | |
| Changeling: The Lost (Tabletop Game) / int_208c4494 | comment |
With Great Power Comes Great Insanity: The more powerful a Changeling gets, the easier it becomes for their Clarity to drop and the harder it becomes for them to distinguish between reality and fantasy. A Changeling that grows too powerful and has too little Clarity has the disturbing possibility on becoming one of the True Fae. Second Edition plays with this a bit. Clarity functions more akin to Health than before, with boxes taking Clarity Damage from various assaults. The interesting aspect is that the die pool for said damage is based on the Changeling's own Wyrd, meaning that the stronger a Changeling becomes the harder their Clarity will be hit with each blow. | |

Arcadia: Bluntly subverted by the home of the True Fae. There are realms of nature, yes, and some places seem peaceful, but the reality of the place is closer to Hell (not unlike the one inhabited by Hellraiser's Cenobites) than it is to any sort of idyllic natural setting. Any vestige of the old Arcadia is found in the Hedge, an infinitely twisting maze of endless thorns that rip your soul out of your body, piece by piece. They even have a mechanic for it. | |

Beast and Beauty: It's even a stereotype that Ogres really like the Fairest. The Fairest usually don't reciprocate these feelings, but it happens. Generally though the Ogre will merely be strung along and serve as dumb muscle. Autumn Nightmares provides a pair of NPCs who exemplify this dynamic, a mercurial Fairest named Damiana and a violently loyal Ogre named Bert (although Bert knows the score, and Damiana, for her part, does care for him, just not enough to not screw with his emotions to make herself feel better). | |

The "rumors" side bars on various Entitlements often make some pretty large leaps of logic, and sometimes conflict with the actual write-up; ie, just plain wrong. This is Lampshaded in the writeup for the Ancient and Accepted Order of Bridgemasons, it's pointed out that very few changelings are stupid/paranoid enough to think their handiwork draws the True Fae (if it was, why haven't its users been abducted already?), but rulers who dislike them are known to lend credence to the theory. | |

Curse Escape Clause: Occasionally shows up, (once again as befitting the fairy-tale nature of the game). Some Changelings manage to escape their captivity this way, especially if the Keeper in question wasn't careful enough to ensure that the "impossible" conditions for a Changeling's release were, in fact, impossible. One more reason to pay close attention to the wording of those Pledges. | |

Karma Meter | |
| Changeling: The Lost (Tabletop Game) / int_276ad49e | comment |
Karma Meter: Clarity. This tracks how much a character has mentally grown to resemble her Fae captors, both in her moral uprightness and her ability to tell reality from the dreams and hallucinations that come from her fae perceptions. It is worth noting that Clarity is somewhat unique amongst the various World of Darkness Morality tracks in that it can drop through no fault of the player- their sanity has become much more fragile, and general disruptions and chaos that disrupts their day to day routine can be just as jarring and detrimental to their mind as actively doing something reprehensible. Clarity is also far less forgiving than some of the other Morality scales of the CoD because it doesn't know the meaning of "extenuating circumstances", unless you're acting in accordance with your Virtue, which will usually give you bonuses to degeneration rolls but not avoid the need to roll at all. Clarity is also unique in that beneficial events can trigger potential drops (if they're not expected). Having to move to a new home (even if you're acquiring a nicer residence) triggers a chance at degeneration if your Clarity is 7 or above. Unplanned pregnancy explicitly is actually a larger trigger for degeneration (Clarity 4) than killing another changeling (Clarity 5). Changelings greatly desire a stable environment and routine. On the plus side, as seen above under Creative Sterility, having an unplanned pregnancy is really hard for a changeling. Clarity is reworked in Second Edition to function more like Health, with each box able to take Mild or Severe damage. Meaningful interaction with a Changeling's Touchstones allows them to heal Clarity damage, and taking damage in their rightmost boxes causes them to take Conditions that affect their mental state. Interestingly, having all their boxes filled with Severe damage doesn't kill them — it simply puts them into a coma and allows a Huntsman to take them without resistance. | |

Awesome, but Impractical | |
| Changeling: The Lost (Tabletop Game) / int_2bdae2ae | comment |
Awesome, but Impractical One of the contracts for the Spring Court lets you summon an amount of rain based on the successes you achieve on an extended action. If you keep this certain clause up for a long enough period of time, you can summon a hurricane. You'll end up causing unacceptable amounts of collateral damage, hence this trope. | |

He Who Fights Monsters | |
| Changeling: The Lost (Tabletop Game) / int_2c1f1138 | comment |
He Who Fights Monsters: Changelings have a dozen ways to become Well Intentioned Extremists or Knights Templar in their battles against the True Fae. Bridge-Burners try to close down all doors between the real world and the Hedge, despite the utility (verging on necessity) other Changelings find in it. Militia members seek to "enlist" other members into probably-Pyrrhic battles against the Others. Even members of the standard Courts who don't fall in with one of the extremist groups can become oppressors themselves in order to develop power with which to fight or avoid the Others. | |

Combo Platter Powers | |
| Changeling: The Lost (Tabletop Game) / int_2c9ef8f7 | comment |
Combo Platter Powers: Like the Fae, changelings can have Contracts with almost anything, and are thus very, very inclined to this trope. A character might be able to talk to dogs, remain comfortable in any temperature, enhance her performance skills, seem to be a celebrity, and interrogate the landscape of a parallel dimension. When you bring in goblin contracts, the platter can get really overloaded. Point in fact, the mechanics of the game itself tend to encourage this, as Changelings pay less to purchase/upgrade their "affinity" power sets than any other denizen in the World of Darkness, and have far, far more of them as well — a vampire has affinity to three Disciplines (four if of a Bloodline), but a Changeling has Affinity to nearly every type of Contract except the specialty Contracts of other Courts and Seemings. Considering how outright weird most contracts are, you kind of need a lot of them to have even a shot at having one useful for a current situation. | |

Fantastic Drug | |
| Changeling: The Lost (Tabletop Game) / int_2cd22076 | comment |
Fantastic Drug: Goblin Fruits in general have the potential to be like this; the corebook even contains a plot hook for a Vampire: The Requiem crossover in which a goblin fruit called "bloodroot" is being sold on to the local kindred. Bloodroot is harmless to changelings, but to vampires, it's a powerful narcotic — and one they can actually feel wholeheartedly and without needing to use through human blood to enjoy. Rites of Spring lists rules for Glamour intoxication, letting Changelings who indulge too strongly get drunk on the essential power of human emotion. | |

Split-Personality Merge | |
| Changeling: The Lost (Tabletop Game) / int_3121e8df | comment |
Split-Personality Merge: In an Enemy Without sort of way. Common belief is that a Changeling's Fetch incorporates part of the original's soul, metaphorically and metaphysically represented by a scrap of his shadow. Normally, a changeling either leaves the Fetch alone or kills it. But if a Changeling and Fetch can grow to truly understand and empathize with one another, they can merge, rejoining that scrap of soul with the Changeling's tattered remnants. This helps shore up the Changeling's sense of self and Clarity, and grants him access to all the Fetch's memories. | |

Humans Are Survivors: If the Hunter gamebook lines are about humans fighting back, the CtL line is about humans enduring all the weapons of a hostile world. There are thousands of changelings in the setting, and every one note except the Fae infiltrators is a mirror of terrible odds- a Fireheart's incineration, a Fairest's rape- not only beaten, but beaten with the winner's humanity intact, an exceptionally rare thing in the World of Darkness. And on the way out of hell, they got a few things that mean they'll never be as vulnerable as they were again. | |

Be Careful What You Say | |
| Changeling: The Lost (Tabletop Game) / int_33d2e914 | comment |
Be Careful What You Say: Changeling: the Lost is full of this trope, most explicitly in the ability for Changelings (and Gentry) to bind anything you say as a magically enforced Pledge as long as it's phrased in a way that can be taken as a statement of intent. Most of the subtropes end up being used by players and storytellers, too. Some Changelings are leery about making and breaking any sort of promise, whether bound by a Pledge or not, out of concern that the Wyrd might take an interest. If a Changeling does try to invoke a pledge without the direct consent of the other signatory (IE tricking them into making one), they suffer a potential breaking point to their Clarity for doing something so much like one of the True Fae would do. It's stated that a good number of Changelings get dragged to Arcadia in the first place by the True Fae who pulled this kind of trick, so it's not too surprising that Changeling society frowns upon it. It's not uncommon for Freehold oaths to specifically forbid this. If you trick someone into an unfair or damaging pact or oathbind another without consent (without a damn good reason)? Enjoy getting kicked out into the Hedge alone, without resources... dick. | |

Fetches, by default, can't have children because they're nothing but pale imitations of human life. Autumn Nightmares offers the possibility that they can have a child if they truly love the human they're courting and don't know that their pretense of humanity is a lie.

Clone Degeneration | |
| Changeling: The Lost (Tabletop Game) / int_38326b11 | comment |
Clone Degeneration: The Fetch which the Fae leave behind in a Changeling's place is often somewhat... off from the original, even before its original returns. This often manifests as a tendency toward psychopathy. It's not fun. And just to prove that White Wolf is evil, the missing trait can be a personality flaw as well - meaning that the Changeling might come back to find a family man Fetch who's more moral and well-adjusted than the original. Still want to slaughter the guy to take your life back, Jerkass? In at least one case this has resulted in a Fetch who's the wrong gender, meaning the poor Changeling in question gave up on taking her old life back—she couldn't handle murdering a perfectly nice guy and also having to transition socially all over again. | |

Broken Aesop | |
| Changeling: The Lost (Tabletop Game) / int_401d4116 | comment |
Broken Aesop: The Scarecrow Ministry are monsters that try to scare people away from areas where real monsters lurk, so that they will not be killed or taken. Some members have been known to do this by killing those people and leaving a few survivors to tell the warning tale. | |

Sufficiently Analyzed Magic | |
| Changeling: The Lost (Tabletop Game) / int_41d8a845 | comment |
Sufficiently Analyzed Magic: This is the raison d'etre of the Autumn Court. Granted, most Fae magic is about as simple to catalogue as contract law, but Autumn Courtiers often branch out into other areas of the World of Darkness's supernatural. | |

Elemental Embodiment | |
| Changeling: The Lost (Tabletop Game) / int_4221e01a | comment |
Elemental Embodiment: Members of the aptly-named Elemental seeming. They were transformed into inanimate objects while in Arcadia, and even on their return to the real world they possess elemental features either literal, metaphorical, or both. With the highest levels of the Contracts of the Elements, *any* Changeling can turn into a towering flame, stone statue, animated wave, or what have you. | |

Elemental Powers | |
| Changeling: The Lost (Tabletop Game) / int_42846e90 | comment |
Elemental Powers: The aforementioned Contracts of the Elements. Toyed with, in that you can invoke these contracts with esoteric elements not usually in the lists - things like fire, ice, and wind are listed, but so are things such as plastic, hair, glass, or concrete. Elemental Shapeshifter: The highest clause of an Elemental's Contract allows them to transmute into said element, with certain benefits — insubstantial elements (such as fire, air, and lightning) can only be harmed by certain kinds of damage, whereas substantial elements (such as stone or metal) grant heavy armor and physical bonuses. | |

Magically-Binding Contract | |
| Changeling: The Lost (Tabletop Game) / int_4353c4b7 | comment |
Magically-Binding Contract: Pledges are a borderline case. While a Pledge won't supernaturally compel or fate the oathbound to fulfill their ends of the bargain, it will hit them with a supernatural Sanction if they break their word. As these sanctions can range from minor curses to death, they're often a pretty powerful motivation. Particularly nasty fae can also bind mortals into contracts they aren't aware they are making. Badly chosen words, like screaming 'I'm gonna kill him!' can be bound into bargains that will punish someone for not carrying out their promise. In the flavor, one character gets himself into a bargain that will have a Changeling or fae (it's not clear which) kill the "pests" in her home. The last thing he says to a friend before the 'exterminator' arrives? "You're such a pest." Despite an emphasis on the exact wording of a contract, than the spirit of the agreement, Changeling society greatly frowns on Oaths (serious Pledges) that are not clearly consented to, or are misleading in their wording (e.g. using a quintuple negative "I swear to not not not not not do X"). Loophole Abuse in the interpretation is perfectly fine, but the wording should be as plain as possible, and terms considered unfair, whilst not illegal, will certainly lead to the Changeling community distrusting any agreement made with that individual. However breaking an oath that is deceptive and unfair is still breaking a sworn oath. | |

The Oath-Breaker: Any Changeling known to have broken his sworn word is looked upon with extreme suspicion by the rest of Lost society, and with decent reason - the bonds of Pledges are one of the only ways Changelings can manage to trust one another. | |

Insert Payment to Use: The Catch/Loophole means that not only can Tokens work this way, but so can the Changelings' Contracts. Catches/Loopholes range from a putting handful of dead fireflies into a token, eating a live spider to activate a contract, or cutting off your own tongue to activate another Token. | |

Narnia Time | |
| Changeling: The Lost (Tabletop Game) / int_47e61b99 | comment |
And a bit closer to home: the Changeling Contracts of Hours (power over the flow of time) have a clause that allows you to cause this to happen while in the Hedge; you can either speed up or slow down subjective time while you're in the Hedge by anywhere from x2 to x6 times. But only for you and anyone who enters the Hedge with you, anyone already in the Hedge is unaffected by the Narnia Time. Meaning you can have a conversation with someone, both exit at the same time, and still wind up in the real world an hour before or after the other individual. | |

Always Chaotic Evil | |
| Changeling: The Lost (Tabletop Game) / int_4832a3bb | comment |
Always Chaotic Evil: The True Fae. Well, it's more like Always Chaotic Neutral, but the distinction is academic given their behavior. As Autumn Nightmares says, the True Fae are "fiends" with a totally narcissistic and solipsistic worldview. Any True Fae that acts "good" or "in love" is doing just that: acting, in an ultimately doomed attempt to understand the human condition that they will almost certainly get bored of one day. Any True Fae that does something helpful for a person does so either because it's within their own interests or on a whim, not out of any true altruism. Not even the "Charlatans" (True Fae who have gotten stuck in the mortal world and forgotten they are not human) are an exception to this rule, as they're still just Fae even if they don't know it and therefore just as soulless as any other True Fae... though ones that can develop some small degree of genuine empathy and a Clarity gauge (in all books not Autumn Nightmares, that is). They still aren't recommended player characters. | |

"Scooby-Doo" Hoax | |
| Changeling: The Lost (Tabletop Game) / int_4b9a8e96 | comment |
"Scooby-Doo" Hoax: An interesting case. The genuinely supernatural Changelings of the Scarecrow Ministry have a tendency to create elaborate Scooby Doo Hoaxes to keep people away from truly dangerous beings such as True Fae, werewolves and Spirits (either through fear of the hoax or through being attracted to it rather than the real monsters). Sometimes they go a bit too far, and become the monsters they impersonate. | |

Clap Your Hands If You Believe | |

Shake My Hand If You Believe: Arcadia runs by rules such as these. In Faerie, the only laws of physics are those agreed upon by the True Fae who rule it, and they only affect you if you agree to let them. Part of the process that transforms people into changelings is entering into these agreements, either consciously or subconsciously, in order to actually survive. | |

What Is This Thing You Call "Love"? | |
| Changeling: The Lost (Tabletop Game) / int_5028baf2 | comment |
What Is This Thing You Call "Love"?: Brought up as a possibility with, of all entities, Marquise Tistresse, the Scarlet Widow, a faerie spider in Grim Fears. As an entity that absorbs qualities of her prey (it's how she became sentient in the first place), and with the Theory of Narrative Causality being known to changelings, the fact she can take a human(like) form has led to the rumors that she isn't merely a beast hard-wired by her appetites, that she embodies the archetype of the fae princess as well as the fae monster. This is true — the fae princess archetype is one of the older ones that she digested — but raises the possibility that she may have the untapped potential for unselfish love. Though storyteller's have fiat, naturally, it's official that she really could fall in genuine love with somebody, much to her great shock. The potential consequences are "many, varied, enticing and frightening". | |

Body Horror | |
| Changeling: The Lost (Tabletop Game) / int_504a1991 | comment |
Body Horror: Most of a changeling's fae-induced transformations are undone when they escape from Arcadia. Most. Under their Mask, though, a changeling is still recognizably inhuman. Imagine being, for example, a Blightbent, and having skin that constantly seeps oil, or toxic chemicals, or who exhales clouds of chemical smog, or whose body is covered in glowing, pus-seeping tumors. Or a Manikin who has had the flesh flayed from their ribcage, which now unhinges to reveal the clicking clockwork organs that fill their innards. Some Entitlements can actually warp a changeling even further. For example, the Knights of the Knowledge of the Tongue experience mutations to their tongue; examples include having it grow to freakish lengths, having it be covered in waving cilia, or having it grow octopus suckers. | |

All Therapists Are Muggles | |
| Changeling: The Lost (Tabletop Game) / int_55af5b73 | comment |
All Therapists Are Muggles: Invoked, played straight, and defied. Having a psychotherapist who isn't a Changeling (or at least Ensorcelled) does give a penalty to therapy rolls, but there's an entire Prestige Class based around the idea of changelings becoming therapists to help out their own kind. It's also noted in the core book that many Changelings find attending group therapy for abuse survivors to be helpful, if only in a limited fashion. The experiences aren't exactly the same, and while the Changeling can't talk openly about their experiences, knowing that there are completely normal people who've suffered at the hands of other completely normal people is still somewhat cathartic. | |

| Changeling: The Lost (Tabletop Game) / int_564c1500 | comment |
Red String of Fate: Deconstructed. There's an actual race of entities that creates said Red Strings, the Crimson Weavers. It's their purpose to find compatible people and link them together as destined lovers... except that they are creatures of Fate, not Desire, meaning they have no idea how to recognize actual good chemistry and as often as not link people who have no compatibility at all. Worse, they're too arrogant to recognize this. | |

Theory of Narrative Causality | |

Theory of Narrative Causality: This is one aspect of the Wyrd. It encompasses oaths and agreements, fate and destiny, dreams and emotions, and stories and archetypes, possibly with a vaguely undefined will behind it all. | |

Divided We Fall | |
| Changeling: The Lost (Tabletop Game) / int_56d5b88f | comment |
Divided We Fall: The political situation in Miami is a result of this. When the Summer court enacted The Coup, Autumn and Spring each made their own play against Summer instead of working together, while Winter didn't even get involved because they weren't technically part of the Freehold in the first place. This got the Autumn King killed and the Spring Queen exiled, and Miami is now the City of Endless Summer, a chancy state that has attracted several true fae looking to trick people into breaking pledges and just generally create chaos. The reason why this coup is so bad for the Miami Freehold, is that one of the key defences a Freehold has against the True Fae is the voluntary relinquishing of power. It's a concept that the True Fae cannot wrap their minds around and each seasonal court has a unique defence against the True Fae that makes it difficult for them to attack the Freeholds, partly because these defences impose specific conditions for the True Fae to interact with the Freehold, and partly because the True Fae can't be bothered tracking the seasons and a plan that works against a Summer Court falls apart the first day of Autumn. | |

Growing Up Sucks: Inverted, as opposed to the old Changeling; the focus is no longer on keeping your innocence and naivete in a harsh and dark world but rather about finding the way back from the loss of innocence and the pains of life and learning how to put yourself back together and discover what comes next. | |

Matchmaker Failure | |
| Changeling: The Lost (Tabletop Game) / int_59efeba6 | comment |
Matchmaker Failure: The Crimson Weavers are fae entities who are obsessed with the concept of "soul mates" and can mystically bind couples with a literal Red String of Fate. However, they have no clue what people actually like in each other, so those pairings are usually unfulfilling, and many go insane or kill their partners to escape their alleged "One True Love". | |

Magic Mirror | |
| Changeling: The Lost (Tabletop Game) / int_5b47c8c7 | comment |
Magic Mirror: It's a Fairy-tale-inspired game. Are you really surprised? Specifically, there are a couple magical Tokens made of mirrors, one or two Contracts that use mirrors as foci or required components, and some Fetches have power over mirrors, as an extension of their nature as "reflections" of their Changeling counterparts. In 2nd Edition, Darklings favor the Contracts of Mirror, which include things like looking into a mirror and seeing out of another one elsewhere, or seeing past events in a reflective surface. Some Contracts outside of the Mirror Regalia use mirrors as well, like using mirrors as portals or stealing objects' reflections to summon them as physical items. | |

| Changeling: The Lost (Tabletop Game) / int_5d1eca88 | comment |
Awesome McCoolname: Many Changelings take new names when they return, whether because their old name is taken by their Fetch or because they wish to distance themselves from what they used to be. Many of these new names are somewhat... fanciful. Or simply because they can't remember their original name. If you are using the optional True Name magic rules, it's a good idea to use a false name... One NPC from the free example adventure released by White Wolf uses an alias because her former True Fae master will show up and drag her back if her original name is spoken three times in her presence. | |

Sacred Hospitality | |
| Changeling: The Lost (Tabletop Game) / int_5fd14ab3 | comment |
Sacred Hospitality: One of the most important customs and traditions of Lost society. This doesn't exactly mean that folks don't break hospitality, it just means that the ones who do are considered even worse. This even applies in ARCADIA. Every realm in it, by laws even the Gentry find as ancient, is required to be hospitable and survivable in some manner. Not that the rules have to make sense: Equinox Road gives an example of a realm where you can walk on fire and swim in lava without harm, but if you touch an icicle, it instantly freezes you. | |

Lack of Empathy | |
| Changeling: The Lost (Tabletop Game) / int_658f7193 | comment |
Lack of Empathy: The True Fae, Fetchspawn, and many low-Clarity Lost are like this, generally taking the form of some degree of solipsism. How varies: True Fae are fundamentally incapable of understanding the feelings and minds of other beings, and due to the way their biology works, hate is literally the same thing as love. Fetchspawn are the True Fae's solipsism taken to extremes-they aren't even aware other beings exist. Low-Clarity lost are so wrapped up in their own warped perceptions that they don't see other people as people. | |

Fake Memories: Fetches live out the lives of the people they've replaced, oblivious to the fact that their whole life is a sham... until the taken human, now a Changeling, escapes from Faerie. Most Fetches aren't aware anything's amiss until this happens, and most take the news that they are fakes with memories stolen from a small piece of a person's soul poorly. Of course, sometimes the Fetch's memories are imperfect to begin with... | |

In a more specific example, You always have to be careful of this when buying something at a Goblin Market. Market Law says that all products and services must work as advertised, but there Ain't No Rule that says the merchant has to fully disclose all negative qualities and side-effects of a purchase. | |

This is one of the two games (the other being Promethean: The Created) where Earn Your Happy Ending is explicitly an option. | |

Fisher King | |
| Changeling: The Lost (Tabletop Game) / int_6c51e9e1 | comment |
Fisher King: Every single True Fae is a god unto their own realm in Faerie, having control over every single aspect of their home, from whether the sky is blue to the conditions as to when a fire will or will not cook a person's food. The Changelings, human slaves abducted to act as servants, have to enter pacts with every element in order to even survive. The world changes according to what a Faerie thinks is entertaining. The True Fae are powerful outside their home realms, but have nowhere near this level of control over other domains. | |

Chess Motifs | |
| Changeling: The Lost (Tabletop Game) / int_6d56cebf | comment |
Chess Motifs: Contracts of the Board, which allow a character who serves as head of a number of forces (such as a general or one of the seasonal Monarchs) to understand the conflict in terms of a game of chess or some other board game, allowing him to transmit strategies and direct forces by manipulation of the board itself. This doesn't have to be Chess. Picture an Ogre warrior, directing his forces by intently playing Candyland. Easily adoptable by a Gameplayer Wizened. After all, they may have spent their Durance as a living chesspiece. | |

Masquerade | |
| Changeling: The Lost (Tabletop Game) / int_6ef09297 | comment |
Masquerade: A variation - Changelings are, in general, not overly worried about human reactions to their presence. However, word of a horn-browed man transforming into autumn leaves and blowing away might travel the rumor mill until one of the True Fae learn of it, and that's what Changelings keep quiet for. Lucky for them they have the Mask to help (and Winter Courtiers to clean up if that fails) | |

I Gave My Word | |
| Changeling: The Lost (Tabletop Game) / int_6fb5cb83 | comment |
I Gave My Word: Due to the importance of Pledgecraft to the Lost, most Changelings are *very* careful about keeping to the letter of their promises. Even if the promise wasn't sworn as a magical Pledge, it's generally considered bad luck to renege on an oath, as the Wyrd may be watching anyway. | |

Godzilla Threshold: The Aurochs Horn and Call the Wild Hunt summon the True Fae. It takes absolute desperation to see this as a good idea, although it is JUST possible enough to use this as a trick to kill the Fae summoned. But you'd also have to be very desperate (or vengeful) to want to attempt that either. | |

Invoked Trope | |
| Changeling: The Lost (Tabletop Game) / int_72e0023f | comment |
Invoked Trope: The book Swords At Dawn introduces a new mechanic called Talecrafting, which essentially lets canny players spot Tropes in motion (or good places to shoehorn them in) and tweak the Wyrd to cause them to come to pass. Changelings often get the inspirations for this power when they realize that they're, in a sorts, LIVING in a Faerie Tale, as they are Fae creatures. For example, a Changeling loses two huge bets at Vegas, but suddenly realizes that the Third Time's The Charm and goes for one last bet, hoping to win it all just like in all the stories. Conversely, the same Changeling might set up events to fool the Wyrd into thinking it should enact the trope, such as using rigged 'failure' dice, intentionally blowing bets, etc. The Wyrd doesn't like it when it catches you doing this, and so inflicts a dice penalty on the attempt. The system has a dangerous caveat: unless the player gets very lucky on their Wyrd roll, their success comes with a Cruel Twist of Fate, such as the casino busting the Changeling for 'cheating', who gets a blunt lesson in All That Glitters. Needless to say, the possibilities in this system are as endless as this very website's bottomless resources, and this site indeed is LINKED TO in the book itself as a resource. Ladies and Gentlemen, things just got Meta. | |

Double Standard: Rape, Sci-Fi: Averted; it's explicitly noted that if a changeling use their powers to mess with consent, they will net clarity damage in addition to whatever punishment their monarch sees fit to dole out. Spring courts in particular are said to keep a tight rein on this kind of thing, since their contracts are so bound up with influence and desire. | |

Les Collaborateurs: Privateers and Loyalists. Technically, Loyalists work directly for one of the True Fae (whether out of misguided loyalty or just in order to avoid a horrible fate for themselves). They're poorly regarded at best, but can also garner some sympathy. Privateers are Changelings who kidnap and sell their fellow men just for the money. They're universally reviled among other Changelings, and for good reason. | |

As soon as they reenter the human world, however, all of their immoral actions hit them retroactively. | |

Fantastic Fragility | |
| Changeling: The Lost (Tabletop Game) / int_77644ae3 | comment |
Fantastic Fragility: Every contract has a catch, and every oath wriggle room. Breaking them is no less catastrophic, though. Notably, the True Fae are terrifyingly powerful, but suffer from varying weaknesses that clever changelings can mercilessly exploit. Cold Iron and Evil Cannot Comprehend Good being the foremost. When a Changeling's Wyrd raises to 6, they start taking Frailties which could range from having to count spilled grains of rice to pain from the sound of church bells. In 2nd Edition, they instead start getting these Frailties at a mere Wyrd 2. | |

All Myths Are True | |
| Changeling: The Lost (Tabletop Game) / int_776a06eb | comment |
All Myths Are True: Somewhat exists in the game. The True Fae take on the forms of the deities of various religions, but it's ST fiat as to whether or not they are indeed those same deities. Winter Masques gives a variety of kiths based on myths and monsters from around the world, playing off this trope. From Hindu lore comes the Gandharva (Fairest), Daitya (Ogre), Apsaras (Elemental) and the Pishacha (Darkling). American Indian stories give rise to the Coyote and Ask-wee-da-eed kiths of Beasts and Elementals. The Weisse Frau (Fairest) and Nix (Beast) are both Germanic in origin. Italy gives the Wizened the Pamarindo kith. Scandinavian (specifically Norwegian and Icelandic) and Swiss stories of Trolls (Ogre), Thussers (Wizened), Illes (Darkling), and Skogsra (Darkling) take a life of their own beyond the Hedge. The Di-cang is an Elemental kith based on Buddhist lore, while the Oni is a Japanese version of the Ogre. Even more modern cultures aren't immune, with Wizened who bear the kith of the Gremlin... and there's classics like Beasts of the Chimera kith and Fairest who represent the Succubus and Incubus. | |

Personalized Pledge: Changelings can swear a Pledge on a token of something meaningful to them — their True Name, their changeling Court, even a gym membership card if it's an important tie to their mortal life. However, if they break their word, Fate twists that element of their life against them. | |

| Changeling: The Lost (Tabletop Game) / int_7c48b272 | comment |
Summon Bigger Fish: This happens when someone uses Call the Hunt (see Dangerous Forbidden Technique above). Ideally, both enemies would kill one another off, leaving the Changeling safe from either. Second Edition introduces a fetch power called "Call the Huntsmen," which does exactly what its name says: send out a beacon to any nearby Huntsmen to deal with whatever is threatening the fetch. If the Storyteller wants it to, this power might end up summoning something worse than a Huntsman: one of the True Fae. | |

Stages of Monster Grief: Changelings are all over the scale. Some can't accept what they are and go insane, others are so caught up in rage over the change they go on impossible anti-True Fae crusades, others go evil, and some go True Fae. Those who accept what they are, and try to stay sane don't have it particularly easy, either. The Seasonal Courts are tied to the first four actual Stages of Grief (Spring for Denial, Summer for Anger, Autumn for Bargaining, Winter for Depression). 2nd Edition takes this from subtext to plain old text. | |

The Four Gods | |
| Changeling: The Lost (Tabletop Game) / int_7eb09e49 | comment |
The Four Gods: the Directional Courts of China are patterned off of The Four Gods and supposedly embody associated values (the North Court is made up of ascetics who use suffering to escape memory of their durance at the hands of The Fair Folk, the East Court values material wealth and draws power from envy, the South Court consists of artists and other creatives who value ecstasy, and the West Court is made up of honor-bound warriors). Every area in which the Directional Courts take hold are subject to an unpleasant extra facet - a "Demon's Gate", usually a particularly nasty Trod, somewhere in its northeast. Closing or destroying one just means another one opens elsewhere. | |

Our Liches Are Different | |
| Changeling: The Lost (Tabletop Game) / int_82a4fadc | comment |
Our Liches Are Different: Oak, Ash and Thorn, the Player's Guide for 2E, reveals the Empty, changelings who have used the Hedge to pull a Koschei and removed their heart to replace with a Token. So long as they have the Token replacement, they don't age, can draw upon the Token's own Glamour for extra power, and more importantly, death is only a major hassle for them, as their minds flee into their own dreams, from which they can gradually build a new one; it takes a while, but the fact this takes place in the depths of the Hedge means the Empty always has an escape route when the Keepers are coming for them. The downside is that someone who finds the heart can force the Empty to abide by any oaths sworn on it and force them to obey the new owner's orders, and once they realize their quarry can come back from major injury, Huntsmen tend to stop holding back. | |

Exactly What It Says on the Tin | |
| Changeling: The Lost (Tabletop Game) / int_8409a385 | comment |
The Auroch's Horn is a blood-spattered auroch horn that mysteriously appears at the doorstep of a freehold with a note tied to it signed: From Faerie. Any changeling from that freehold can sound the horn, which summons their Keeper, flanked by two briarwolves, to fight tooth-and-nail on the changeling's side. In return, the Keeper gains physical bonuses against the changeling who summoned it, the permission to enter the world freely and the ability to always know where every changeling in the freehold is. If that wasn't bad enough, seven children will vanish from their beds on that night, taken to Arcadia, as payment. Oh, and the horn appears on the freehold's doorstep, note and all, if it is ever destroyed or given away. The only real means of using this without screwing you over utterly is to invoke the Horn against an enemy you cannot possibly defeat on your own... who has a pretty good chance of killing your Keeper. That may just only be one part of them... Use it carefully. | |

Insubstantial Ingredients | |
| Changeling: The Lost (Tabletop Game) / int_886b973e | comment |
Insubstantial Ingredients: Commonly bought and sold at Goblin Markets. You might give the Hob the color of your eyes in exchange for seven minutes of good luck, trade away a springtime afternoon to buy the use of a Hedge Beast, or find a vendor willing to give away a Goblin Contract for a song (meaning, you can never learn or sing it again). In system, most of these just represent XP, but it's much more fun in game-terms to say you're giving away the scent of a rose in exchange for that Token. These are also used in Hedgecrafting - you might get a ballgown woven from starlight and the glow of first love. | |

Chubby Chef | |

Chubby Chef: Carlos Garcál is an accomplished South Beach chef and tidily rotund — or rather, his Fetch now is. The real Carlos became a Changeling known as the Glutton, a bloated, atavistic cannibal who is unrecognizable as a human... but is still a very good chef. | |

Wizards Live Longer | |
| Changeling: The Lost (Tabletop Game) / int_890d778 | comment |
Changelings Live Longer: The Wyrd increases the lifespan of Changelings, depending on the strength of their fae nature. At the peak of a Changeling's potential power, he can live up to 140 years beyond his natural lifespan. Assuming he hasn't transformed into another True Fae by then. It gets weirder then that, there is no limit to how long they can be in Arcadia, so long as more then one hundred years have not passed in the human world since they where taken. They can have an internal durance that lasts for centuries and come back just a few seconds later, having lived and suffered for centuries and not coming out any older or younger. THEN when you add onto the age extension that comes with high Wyrd, and certain contracts and goblin fruits, you can live a pretty damn long time in this game... assuming you WANT to live that long in the first place. And that hundred year limit is only there to minimize the problems arising from more extreme cases of Fish out of Temporal Water. In fact, it's possible to come out of the Hedge before you left, and your past self might have gotten captured because they wandered into the Hedge after catching a glimpse of your current self. Or you might wind up walking out years before you left. Good luck explaining that one to your family, and the Wyrd makes it near impossible to stop your past self from getting taken, no matter what you try... | |

Glamour Failure | |
| Changeling: The Lost (Tabletop Game) / int_90984c54 | comment |
Glamour Failure: Everything fae has a Mask, an illusion that makes it appear normal to humans. Some people, and all fae, can see through this Mask, however. In addition, the more powerful a Changeling is, the more likely it is that some of his true nature will bleed through - a bristling beard turns rootlike, an underbite looks like tusks out of the corner of the eye, that sort of thing. Some mortals also have a chance of seeing through the Mask, specifically children, madmen, those under the influence of drugs, and others with "altered" states of mind. Whenever the Changeling is in the Hedge, an otherworld between our world and Arcadia, his true shape is visible to any who are looking. A Changeling can "turn off" his Mask by burning any Glamour remaining in his system for the effect, revealing his true Mein to the world. Finally, Changelings can intentionally allow others to see beyond the Mask by Ensorcelling them, imbuing them with Glamour (usually through a Pledge) so that they can see through the Mask. A Changeling can also use Glamour to strengthen the mask for a few moments against those that are trying to see past it, but even then his shadow will reflect his true face and not the Mask he wears. | |

My Instincts Are Showing: One reason the Lost so often seem (or become) mad when compared to mortals. When you've been turned into an animal, an inanimate object or force, or a boogeyman, your adjusted instincts are going to be... off, compared to normal. This is especially clear in the Beast and Elemental kith Curses - the Beasts are so tied to animal instinct that mortal thought has atrophied somewhat, and the Elementals have spent so long as inhuman embodiments of creation that they have trouble identifying with humans. | |

There Are No Therapists: Well, there are some, but non-Changeling therapists wouldn't begin to know how to deal with these characters' problems, and Changeling therapists (such as the Entitlement of the Bishopric of Blackbirds) usually have problems just as bad as the folks they're treating. However, it is possible to give someone psychotherapy in their dreams; a successful roll makes a single night's dream into a week's worth of normal therapy sessions. | |

Creative Sterility | |
| Changeling: The Lost (Tabletop Game) / int_9aa3d869 | comment |
Clarity is also unique in that beneficial events can trigger potential drops (if they're not expected). Having to move to a new home (even if you're acquiring a nicer residence) triggers a chance at degeneration if your Clarity is 7 or above. Unplanned pregnancy explicitly is actually a larger trigger for degeneration (Clarity 4) than killing another changeling (Clarity 5). Changelings greatly desire a stable environment and routine. On the plus side, as seen above under Creative Sterility, having an unplanned pregnancy is really hard for a changeling. | |

Schmuck Banquet: Not every Hollow in the Hedge is occupied. But then, some are only unoccupied while their owner is out shopping for children to kidnap. The books list several specific locales like this, including a sumptuous underground manse, accessible only by ladder, filled with beautiful decor and giant marionette handservants that offer you the finest refreshments. And then you try to leave, and find that the ladder's disappeared, and the walls up are covered with an extremely slippery substance. And if you stay in that manse, you'll slowly become one of those genderless automatons, dedicated only to pleasing your "guests." | |

Defeating the Undefeatable: Though very, very difficult, it is possible for a Changeling to kill their Keeper in Arcadia, potentially rendering them Deader than Dead. Tricking them into breaking an oath sworn on their True Name does the trick (since a True Fae's true name is essentially his vow to exist, and he loses that vow as his sanction). | |

I Know What You Fear: The first Clause of the Contracts of Fleeting Autumn grants this ability; appropriate for the Court of Fear. Somewhat recursively, this is one of the things that makes folks afraid of the Autumn Court — that any one of them has the ability to find out what drives you pants-soilingly terrified, then confront you with it. Each court's Fleeting contract list offers a similar emotion-sensing power as its first clause. Either it allows you to detect what would cause/has caused the emotion in the changeling, or to sense strong concentrations of the emotion in the world around you. | |

Alien Abduction | |
| Changeling: The Lost (Tabletop Game) / int_a05522e3 | comment |
Alien Abduction: Some of the True Fae are said to be the source of modern-day abduction myths, bearing the grey skin, bulbous heads, and almond-shaped eyes of the mythical extraterrestrial Greys. In a way, those who believe folks are being abducted by aliens are right, except that rather than being extraterrestrial, they're extradimensional. And magic. And to confuse the issue, it's also stated that the True Fae are idea thieves, meaning that they didn't come up with the The Greys image themselves (hell, there's a Mage: The Awakening version that has them as mortal cryptids, completely unrelated to Fae)... and that some disappearances have nothing to do with the Gentry. | |

The Beautiful Elite: The Fairest. Also subverts Beauty Equals Goodness, but not to the degree of Daeva—they have a looser hold on sanity then their contemporaries because they got a double dosage of the Mind Rape and most quietly stew in self-loathing. | |

Half-Human Hybrid | |
| Changeling: The Lost (Tabletop Game) / int_a2cbad1 | comment |
All the torture a Changeling is put through psychologically scars them and their time in Arcadia has made them part Fae, able to use fae powers and bound to The Wyrd. But using too much of this magic takes its toll. Once a Changeling's connection to the Wyrd reaches its highest possible level, sometimes the Changeling's Clarity will begin to drop at an exponential rate — mainly because whenever they dream, they remember Faerie perfectly, which means they have a Clarity-loss trigger condition every time they go to sleep. And when a Changeling hits Wyrd 10 and Clarity 0... they are called to re-enter the Hedge, travel back to Arcadia, and become one of the True Fae. | |

Multiple-Choice Past | |

Multiple-Choice Past: Several possible reasons are given for what the True Fae are, where they came from, and why they kidnap mortals. The precise truth, if any, is up to your table's ST. The Courts in 2E are given several different origins, all in the style of fairytales. Which of them are true, if any, is left up for the reader to decide. | |

Enfant Terrible | |
| Changeling: The Lost (Tabletop Game) / int_a6123b72 | comment |
Enfant Terrible: Fetchspawn. If a Fetch ever manages to have a child with a human, the result might be one of these monstrosities. They have no Karma Meter. They have no empathy. They're totally unable to relate to other human beings on an emotional or social level. They tend to kill things... just because. This is all exacerbated by the fact that their touch automatically opens all doors and springs all locks, they cannot be bound or imprisoned, and people tend to ignore them, so they're able to slip around without notice. They are immune to Changeling powers, and their touch drains the Lost of magical energies. Oh... and did we mention that at the age of 21 they get sucked back into the Hedge, likely to become Gentry themselves? On the other hand, the other kind of fetch-child, supposedly created when a Fetch who still thinks he's human has biblical study of a person he truly loves is almost always psychologically healthy. They're a little weird, to be sure, but not too weird, and they get better as they near puberty. Unfortunately, they're also a little Blessed with Suck-their very existence is a key to the Hedge, and their blood is supposedly toxic to Fae, meaning they're likely to draw the attention of militants. | |

Doppelganger Link: Changelings have part of their souls invested in their Fetch when they're first kidnapped by the Fae. The Fetch can always sense its Changeling's proximity and can learn other uses of the bond, like copying their Contracts, one-way Synchronization, and negating their defenses in combat. | |

Prestige Class | |
| Changeling: The Lost (Tabletop Game) / int_a7bb930 | comment |
Prestige Class: Entitlements, groups of Changelings who claim a noble Title and swear an oath to that effect. This grants them power, but requires them to fulfill certain responsibilities, which can occasionally conflict with the Changeling's interests. Worse, joining an Entitlement also makes them that much more... interesting to the True Fae if they should come calling. The Equinox Road brings the Eldritch Orders into the game, ancient Entitlements for the Changeling equivalent of epic characters. | |

Lunacy: The Contracts of the Moon deal specifically with derangements, the clauses ranging from telling if someone is suffering from one with just a look to infecting a crowd with a madness of your choice. There's a Darkling kith called the Moonborn. Their power lets them infect themselves with a mild derangement and someone they touch with its severe version. | |

Familiar: Changelings (and other fae creatures) sometimes take Hedge Beasts as pet/sidekick/companions. These are Hobgoblins who look exactly like a mortal animal, except that they can speak and have human-level intelligence. They can also use Changeling Merits and Contracts. So its entirely possible to have an Ogre based around smashing things to have a Hedgebeast Buddy that's really good at research and packing Wizened contracts. | |

Humanity Is Infectious | |
| Changeling: The Lost (Tabletop Game) / int_aa88f109 | comment |
Humanity Is Infectious: In their original state, True Fae are incapable of caring about other beings, or even understanding how to care for other beings. If the Kindly One actually manages to understand and feel strongly about humanity, in any way, he loses all memory of his true nature and the vast majority of his power, becoming a Charlatan, a Banished Fae. Emphasis on "in any way", with one example noting how a True Fae became banished by understanding a serial killer. | |

Even worse, actually. Fire in Arcadia may not warm you if you have no Contract with it, but it can still burn you. You may not be able to drink water to stay alive without a Water Contract, but it can still drown you. Basically, anything in Arcadia can decide to interact with you normally if it wants to... mostly so it can proceed to hurt you. Gaining the positive aspects of Contracts with the matter of Arcadia (being able to get warm, eat, drink, etc.) requires to True Fae including you in their Contracts with the realm... which makes you theirs by default. So even if you weren't dragged into Arcadia to be a True Fae's plaything, you'll become one anyway. Or die. | |

Dreaming of Things to Come | |
| Changeling: The Lost (Tabletop Game) / int_af7d483f | comment |
Dreaming of Things to Come: All Changelings possess the innate talent to have oracular dreams as part of their ties to the Wyrd; they just have to realize whether or not a dream really is prophetic before they can act on it. Some Merits, however, allow them to refine this talent, to the point that they can dream of the past or gain beginner's knowledge of any skill or language from the collective unconscious. | |

Fate Worse than Death: Getting taken back by the Fae. Several high-power spells and special effects put out a beacon for the True Fae. Using these in a fight is considered worse than killing the target- worse even than breaking a Pledge with your best friends. Plus, more likely than not, you won't make it out either. Also why Winter Court funerals tend to be morbidly cheerful-your friend is dead, but at least he wasn't recaptured by the Fae. | |

Loophole Abuse | |
| Changeling: The Lost (Tabletop Game) / int_b1dde8fd | comment |
Despite an emphasis on the exact wording of a contract, than the spirit of the agreement, Changeling society greatly frowns on Oaths (serious Pledges) that are not clearly consented to, or are misleading in their wording (e.g. using a quintuple negative "I swear to not not not not not do X"). Loophole Abuse in the interpretation is perfectly fine, but the wording should be as plain as possible, and terms considered unfair, whilst not illegal, will certainly lead to the Changeling community distrusting any agreement made with that individual. However breaking an oath that is deceptive and unfair is still breaking a sworn oath. | |

Duels Decide Everything: Among the True Fae in Arcadia. As reality in that chaotic world only exists by consensual agreement of the Fae who rule it, the results of a duel actually revise reality. Among Changelings, duels don't have the same sort of power, but they're still fairly common methods of making decisions and resolving conflicts. | |

Cold Iron | |
| Changeling: The Lost (Tabletop Game) / int_b575a2b1 | comment |
Also, the universal anti-fae power of Cold Iron- that is, iron that has not been worked into steel or any other alloy. Against normal Changelings, you lose any defensive benefits and are reduced to your base, human stats; against the True Fae, it does the same, plus if it's hand-worked without the benefit of machinery (or even fire), it deals Aggravated (nigh-irreparable) damage. Why? Because, in layman's terms, the True Fae once cheated the entire concept of Cold Iron in a business deal, and Cold Iron got pissed and swore revenge... or something like that. For the True Fae, reality is like a fairy tale and makes almost as much sense. A result of this is that the best iron for taking out Fae comes from meteorites. No True Fae understands this greater than Dzarûmazh the Deathless, a giant dragon of immense power, who, after a fight with a changeling went badly, ended up with the tip of a cold iron spear inside his body. It is slowly worming its way towards his heart, which will kill him. He is searching for a way to make a pact with cold iron, and if he succeeds now only will he save his own life, but he will become immune to the True Fae's greatest weakness. | |

What Have I Become? | |
| Changeling: The Lost (Tabletop Game) / int_b6c0ef1f | comment |
What Have I Become?: Many Changelings suffer psychological issues due to the alterations that have been forced upon them (even the beautiful Fairest). Surgery, drugs and self-mutilation are common among the most disturbed of Elementals, for example - imagine having leaves and branches growing out of you, or constantly oozing toxic waste from every pore. Now add to that, you were a conscious, immobile candle for the last thirty years. No wonder so many Changelings go Axe-Crazy... Changelings invariably tend to have issues. Motleys and Courts are at least partly support groups. | |

Fighting a Shadow: Equinox Road realizes that the True Fae who come to Earth to kidnap humans are simply one aspect, or Title, of the greater Fae entity it represents, which might have as many as half a dozen similar Titles. These Titles may manifest as items, swarms of creatures, individual creatures, or the entire Fae Realm itself. BUT they don't have unlimited titles. If you take down one of a Keeper's titles, you've significantly weakened the whole creature. This may not sound like much, but Keepers DO end up banished from Faerie occasionally if they loose all of them, or even destroyed You CAN fight the mad things from beyond the world, and you CAN have real, meaningful, victories... but boy, oh boy the cost is steep. If you can pull it off at all, expect to have a lot of dead friends, and lost a lot personally, raising the question: Is it worth it? | |

Summon Magic: The higher levels of the Contracts of Communion allow one to transform inanimate substances into elemental servitors. likewise the highest Contracts of Animation allow the user to bring constructed items to life to do his bidding. And then there's Call the Wild Hunt... | |

Chef of Iron: Members of the Knights of the Knowledge of the Tongue, an Entitlement. These Changeling gourmands dream of making the best foods ever - which often means delving deep into the Hedge to harvest strange Goblin Fruit, or trying to gather the meat of some Hobgoblin or other which is, more likely than not, trying to eat them right back. | |

Invisible to Normals | |
| Changeling: The Lost (Tabletop Game) / int_c042eee9 | comment |
Invisible to Normals: The Mask, mentioned above essentially fools all five human senses, rendering their mien invisible to the eyes, removing anything clearly supernatural from their voice, muffling any odd scents or tastes, and convincing a human's sense of touch into believing that odd features like fur or horns are simply unaltered skin. Supernatural creatures with special sensory powers can pierce the mask, but it's extremely difficult. | |

Weaksauce Weakness | |
| Changeling: The Lost (Tabletop Game) / int_c09dbbbb | comment |
Weaksauce Weakness: Some of the Frailties a True Fae or high-Wyrd Changeling can suffer. Unable to cross a line of ants? Must drink alcohol instead of water? Also, the universal anti-fae power of Cold Iron- that is, iron that has not been worked into steel or any other alloy. Against normal Changelings, you lose any defensive benefits and are reduced to your base, human stats; against the True Fae, it does the same, plus if it's hand-worked without the benefit of machinery (or even fire), it deals Aggravated (nigh-irreparable) damage. Why? Because, in layman's terms, the True Fae once cheated the entire concept of Cold Iron in a business deal, and Cold Iron got pissed and swore revenge... or something like that. For the True Fae, reality is like a fairy tale and makes almost as much sense. A result of this is that the best iron for taking out Fae comes from meteorites. No True Fae understands this greater than Dzarûmazh the Deathless, a giant dragon of immense power, who, after a fight with a changeling went badly, ended up with the tip of a cold iron spear inside his body. It is slowly worming its way towards his heart, which will kill him. He is searching for a way to make a pact with cold iron, and if he succeeds now only will he save his own life, but he will become immune to the True Fae's greatest weakness. | |

Appearance Is in the Eye of the Beholder | |
| Changeling: The Lost (Tabletop Game) / int_c2091e11 | comment |
Appearance Is in the Eye of the Beholder: This is the benefit of the Romancer Kith of the Fairest. They always look like the beholder's ideal of beauty. Changelings who join the Knights of the Knowledge of the Tongue receive a scent-based variation of this. All Knights de Cuisine smell like food, but what sort of food they smell like depends on both an observer's attitude towards the changeling and their own association of food with pleasant/indifferent/nasty. For example, if two people like the same Knight, she may smell like apple pie to one and buttercream icing to the other. Likewise, if they hate her, she may smell like boiling cabbage to one and Brussels sprouts to the other. It depends on what food they like best, hate most, or are generally indifferent to. | |

Curiosity Causes Conversion | |
| Changeling: The Lost (Tabletop Game) / int_c3f3d57c | comment |
Curiosity Causes Conversion: This is a central mechanic for the True Fae. As primordial chaotic beings, they can't understand human things like altruism or love; they just view them as passing fancies to be tossed aside when convenient rather than defining forces. In trying to understand these bedrocks of humanity, they become human, cutting themselves off from their fae memories and a good chunk of the powers. Of course, in most cases, that only lasts as long as they don't start getting curious about fae existence... | |

Shout-Out: A section in Autumn Nightmares detailing weapons with minds of their own that the Gentry can have gives the example of floating metal orbs. Several of the pregenerated changelings and True Fae are references. Wild Sam (from Night Horrors, Grim Fears) is a Darker and Edgier Max from Where the Wild Things Are. The minotaur mentioned in The Equinox Road is strikingly similar to the Minotaur from House of Leaves. The Rites of Spring supplemental book gives details on how a Changeling can maintain a collection of supernatural research. Examples given are a collection of books, a Glamour-powered computer or "a talking skull with several lifetimes of information at hand". Lords of Summer states that the Autumn Court gives a specific title to its best warrior. This title? The Paladin of Shadows. | |

Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu? | |
| Changeling: The Lost (Tabletop Game) / int_cc4d190a | comment |
Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?: Some Changelings do manage, by cunning, strength, or both, to defeat (or even destroy) their True Fae master. This is easier in the mortal world, as Fae are weakened while in the Real, but it's technically possible even in Faerie - just very, very difficult. Odds are, that was only part of him. And the rest is probably pissed Or worse: laughing. Or maybe not worse: It's like losing a limb, after all. | |

Cooking Duel: Duels among the Lost aren't always decided via combat. Swords at Dawn details the various types of duels the Courts use to resolve disputes, split along lines of Physical, Mental, Social, and Mystical. Sure, two members of the martial Summer Court could engage in a fist-fight to first blood... but they could also easily decide on a duel where each argues a case before an impartial judge and tries to make the best argument. There are examples given of duels by oratory, drinking contests, and even a trial by artistic creation - to the death. | |

Horror Hunger: Disturbingly common. Not only are there Gristlegrinder Ogres and some Hunterheart Beasts whose teeth and mouths have become deadly weapons and who often spent their Durances chowing down on whatever or whoever they could catch, but some Kiths, such as the Darkling Leechfinger or Ogre Oni, can heal themselves by eating their foes. Any of these could face cannibalistic urges. And this isn't counting those driven to cannibalism through the workings of their steadily-worsening psychosis. The Ogre stereotype on Mortals says it all — You're beautiful. On the other hand, you taste like chicken. | |

Hyper-Awareness | |
| Changeling: The Lost (Tabletop Game) / int_d2cf1dce | comment |
Hyper-Awareness: At the highest levels of Clarity, a Changeling is so adept at telling what's real from what's not that it grants a form of this. Not only do high-Clarity Changelings gain bonuses to mundane perception, but they gain access to the Kenning, allowing them to sense supernatural critters, even when hidden. | |

I Know Your True Name | |

I Know Your True Name: This setting dealing with The Fair Folk makes this trope inevitable. Both Changelings and Keepers have True Names, with the power gained over the individual in question varying depending on which rulesets are used. Critically, whilst a Changeling can conceivably change their True Name, the True Fae cannot. | |

Elemental Shapeshifter: The highest clause of an Elemental's Contract allows them to transmute into said element, with certain benefits — insubstantial elements (such as fire, air, and lightning) can only be harmed by certain kinds of damage, whereas substantial elements (such as stone or metal) grant heavy armor and physical bonuses. | |

Year Outside, Hour Inside | |
| Changeling: The Lost (Tabletop Game) / int_d75a1703 | comment |
Year Outside, Hour Inside / Narnia Time: Time flows strangely while in Arcadia. And a bit closer to home: the Changeling Contracts of Hours (power over the flow of time) have a clause that allows you to cause this to happen while in the Hedge; you can either speed up or slow down subjective time while you're in the Hedge by anywhere from x2 to x6 times. But only for you and anyone who enters the Hedge with you, anyone already in the Hedge is unaffected by the Narnia Time. Meaning you can have a conversation with someone, both exit at the same time, and still wind up in the real world an hour before or after the other individual. | |

Natural Weapon | |
| Changeling: The Lost (Tabletop Game) / int_d7866de0 | comment |
Natural Weapon: Several Kiths offer this, as does the "Lethal Mein" merit. These include Hunterhearts, Gristlegrinders, Razorhands, Leechfingers, Blightbent, and Oni. Some of these offer secondary powers as well, such as the ability to use the dealt damage to heal the changeling himself. Occasionally leads to Fridge Logic when you realize that your perpetually on-fire Changeling needs a special Merit or Contract to actually BURN people with it. Then again, given the nature of Contracts and what they actually represent, perhaps not. | |

Taken from a Dream: An advanced Dream Contract can pull out a functional copy of something a nearby person has recently dreamed of. Complex objects like cars aren't eligible, but impossible ones like a fog bank or a pegasus feather are; the Changeling can also pull out a wearable "costume" of a living creature. It normally only lasts a few seconds, but on an Exceptional Success, it remains physical indefinitely. | |

Blue-and-Orange Morality: The Keepers. The Changelings, too. Clarity is based on things that will cause changes in perception as well as "sins." The main difference, historically, between Changelings and the True Fae are that the Changelings try to keep a grip on conventional morality and help people when possible. True Fae help people whenever they want to, and even then, they often can't bring themselves to really care. Besides, as the trope might imply, their concepts of "help" can often be somewhat... off. | |

Did You Just Scam Cthulhu? | |
| Changeling: The Lost (Tabletop Game) / int_ef0a5ce | comment |
Did You Just Scam Cthulhu?: A method of dealing with the True Fae that is slightly less likely to end in death or capture than all-out battle. Some Changelings manage to escape captivity by catching their Keepers in pledges or obscure oaths. Caution is advised, though, as the Fae have had millenia to practice that sort of scheming. There exists an Entitlement, the Legacy of the Black Apple, that exists in part to do exactly this. Officially tasked with negotiating with Fae invaders to get Them to leave without kidnapping anybody, Legates are more than happy to oathbind a Fae so that it can't kidnap anybody, even if it wants to. This is a very dangerous job. Though there's also a rumor saying that the Legacy of the Black Apple is just a front for Loyalists... Rumors in the book are to be taken with a grain of salt (they're in-character pieces, and changelings are prone to assume things without all - or any - of the facts). Said rumor sidebar also claims they lose bits of themselves due to their abilities, which is simply not true. A specific example would be Jack o' The Lantern (yes, that Jack) who was banned from Hell - ie, Arcadia - not because his Keeper was afraid of getting scammed again, but because he tricked the greedy Fae into believing there was a (non-existent) treasure only he was capable of getting. He lost some of his emotions in the process, but for his part, he could not care less he's stuck on Earth. | |

Face Full of Alien Wing-Wong | |
| Changeling: The Lost (Tabletop Game) / int_f03efcdb | comment |
Face Full of Alien Wing-Wong: All the torture a Changeling is put through psychologically scars them and their time in Arcadia has made them part Fae, able to use fae powers and bound to The Wyrd. But using too much of this magic takes its toll. Once a Changeling's connection to the Wyrd reaches its highest possible level, sometimes the Changeling's Clarity will begin to drop at an exponential rate — mainly because whenever they dream, they remember Faerie perfectly, which means they have a Clarity-loss trigger condition every time they go to sleep. And when a Changeling hits Wyrd 10 and Clarity 0... they are called to re-enter the Hedge, travel back to Arcadia, and become one of the True Fae. Fetches are supposedly unable to conceive children. However, when they do... | |

Evil Twin | |
| Changeling: The Lost (Tabletop Game) / int_f2dadf81 | comment |
Evil Twin: Nearly all Changelings are replaced by a Fetch, a construct made from whatever's lying around, along with a piece of the original's shadow, when taken. This fetch looks and acts exactly (or nearly exactly) like the original, and in many cases believes it is the original until a creature with its face and wood for skin shows up. Some Fetches still serve the True Fae, or are simply emotionless monsters. Most of them aren't, or at least aren't that monstrous, which is why killing one dings the Karma Meter (his entire life is a lie, if he discovers the truth of the matter he'll be a psychological wreck for the rest of his life, and you decide to kill him. Enjoy your loss of Clarity, asshole). Despite the risk of Clarity, which is more the unnerving sensation that you are killing your reflection if not your own self (with a little of the conflict between your human senses saying "this is a human being" and your changeling senses saying "no, this is a bloody faerie", stressing your mind) than an actual moral issue, Autumn Nightmares makes it clear that many, or even most, changelings do actually kill fetches. Some freeholds make it a point of law to kill fetches, perhaps even using it as an initiation rite — some changelings will even hunt down and slay any fetch they can find, not just their own, though even in fetch-killer thresholds this is looked down on. Because it robs the fetch's changeling of the chance to kill the fetch of their own accord, and thusly denies them an important part in returning to the human world, not because of any sympathies with the fetch. As mentally shattering as it can be to kill a fetch, it's still an important milestone and can bestow a number of supernatural benefits. | |

There's also a very subtle implication: the True Fae occupy themselves by making up fictional characters, settings, and items, and then enacting stories with them for their own amusement. Remind you of anyone? | |

Earn Your Happy Ending | |
| Changeling: The Lost (Tabletop Game) / int_f64a9cf7 | comment |
Earn Your Happy Ending: Changeling lives tend to either end young and brutally, or in various forms of eternal torment. But like with any dark, terrible story, it leaves all the more potential for happy endings to shine all the brighter. Another way to look at it? Yes, you've gone through hell like none of the other denizens can understand, but you were strong enough to escape it. | |

Evil Cannot Comprehend Good | |
| Changeling: The Lost (Tabletop Game) / int_f8e010ce | comment |
Evil Cannot Comprehend Good: The True Fae are, by their very nature, utterly sociopathic, incapable of seeing other people as anything other than toys or pets, at best. Their inability to understand humans is vital to the True Fae's power. If one does grow to understand humanity, its power is drastically reduced, and it may very well lose its memories and find itself permanently exiled to the Mortal world. Changelings base their government on sharing power to take advantage of this, because the idea of voluntarily choosing not to possess all the power throws the True Fae off. (Unfortunately for Miami, however, the local Summer King decided to throw that particular idea out the window. Oops.) | |

Magical Underpinnings of Reality | |
| Changeling: The Lost (Tabletop Game) / int_fe2352ea | comment |
Magical Underpinnings of Reality: This is how everything in Arcadia works. You need to establish a contract with Fire to be warmed, a contract with Carrots to eat one. But no contract is needed with Rock in order for the True Fae there to crush you with one. Even worse, actually. Fire in Arcadia may not warm you if you have no Contract with it, but it can still burn you. You may not be able to drink water to stay alive without a Water Contract, but it can still drown you. Basically, anything in Arcadia can decide to interact with you normally if it wants to... mostly so it can proceed to hurt you. Gaining the positive aspects of Contracts with the matter of Arcadia (being able to get warm, eat, drink, etc.) requires to True Fae including you in their Contracts with the realm... which makes you theirs by default. So even if you weren't dragged into Arcadia to be a True Fae's plaything, you'll become one anyway. Or die. | |

Literal Genie: This is how Pledges work. Be very careful how you word your pledges, folks. On both sides: not only is tricking someone into an unfair Pledge a Clarity sin (that's True Fae bullshit), but the repercussions are just as bad if the Pledgemaker breaks the agreement (say, by withholding or downgrading the promised reward for completing a task). Feel free to promise "more wealth than you can imagine," but have a solid grasp on the extent of the other party's imagination first. | |

Stay on the Path: Wandering off the path in The Hedge can be a very, very bad thing. Not only do the Thorns themselves drink your Glamour (and thus ability to defend yourself) away, but hobgoblins lurk in some of the deeper parts... and the Gentry occasionally take their strolls through it. This is if you're a Changeling. Mortals have it even worse. Changelings just lose Glamour. Mortals have bits of their soul ripped off. | |

Everything Trying to Kill You | |
| Changeling: The Lost (Tabletop Game) / int_ffd816e7 | comment |
Everything Trying to Kill You: As bad as being kidnapped into Arcadia by a True Fae is, winding up there by accident is even worse. Because the realm runs on Contracts, if you aren't part of them, the very elements of nature have no reason to behave rationally towards you. Water won't slake your thirst and fire won't warm your body, but you can still drown or burn. The only way to survive is to either get back out before you die of exposure or other unpleasantness (far harder than it sounds), or get included in the Contracts that make the realm function... which is done by entering service to a True Fae. On the other side, most Realms want to be experienced, and so act mostly rationally. Just don’t push it, or the cave might decide not to shelter you from the blizzard. | |
