What follows is a number of new optional rules that Storytellers can implement to explore the pathological way that glamour can impact upon a game. Storytellers and players may choose to not implement these rules if they feel that focusing too much on the collection, measure and consumption of glamour will detract from the stories they want to tell. If Storyteller and players do wish to use these systems, it is recommended that they keep a track of the emotional resonance imbued into each mote of glamour. They might do his by tracking it on their sheet, by an alternate method that almost anyone can use is to have a deck of cards. Simply assign one suit to one of the four overriding emotional resonance of the Courts and deal those cards to the players as they gain those emotional motes. IF the changeling wants to, they can give the players ability to choose which card ( or mote of glamour) that the changeling uses, or alternatively, ask the player to shuffle the deck each time they use glamour to randomly determine which emotions they are tapping into. Storytellers can use this for all manner of plot devices as the random or deliberative flavor of glamour that gets used can be used to impact upon the game and events in subtle ways. Success: The character feels the surge of the emotion flood her mind. Particularly strong scenes may give the character quick flashes of what occurred, but nothing more. Extraordinary Success: The character feels a slight surge of emotion only.

New Rules: Doldrums

It is dangerous for changelings to run low on glamour. Though she will not suffer physical injury for this, she begins to feel weak, even ill. Like any addiction, when denied the substance of choice, the mind and body begin to go into withdrawal. However, glamour is a mystical substance. A busers of glamour will find they face withdrawal of their very being. Should a changelings level of glamour ever fall to two points, her thoughts start becoming hazy and distorted, the sense of beautiful madness that glamour fills her with begins to fades away. A s long as she has only two points of glamour left she suffers from the mild derangement A voidance ( avoidance is towards things of faerie) . Further, her Mask begins to turn itself against her, and the changeling is no longer able to naturally see through the Mask as though she were a mortal. A s she sits on her last point of glamour, her memories become jumbled and dazed; like half remembered figments of the imagination. She begins to question herself and wonder if what she recalled was real, or mere fantasy. Yet even here, there is a sensation of something missing, some terrible part of her life now out of her grasp. Does she accept the haunting madness of her experiences that seems hauntingly familiar yet alien all in one, or does she choose the comforts of the mundane. A s long as she is on only one point of glamour she suffers from the effects of the Fugue. To determine how much of what a changeling can remember of her faerie life, consult the following chart: Willpower Fugue 10 Everything is remembered with crystal clarity. 9 The entirety of the encounter is remembered as if it were yesterday. 8 Nearly everything is remembered, though some of the details may be hazy. 7 The individual is slightly confused and possibly shaken, but it able to recall most of his experiences, though many of the details are vague. 6 The character has a vague memory of what occurred, but is plagued by doubts as to the validity of the experience. 5 A hazy recollection of the experience is possible, but the individual doubts her own memories. She dismisses the experience as a momentary delusion, unless she has physical proof. 4 The person may experience occasional vivid flashbacks of his more significant experiences, but the otherwise seem like a distant dream. 3 The individual recalls only vague, dreamlike images, and doubts that the experience ever occurred.

New Rules: Glamour Rush

When a changeling consumes a mote of glamour, the emotions of those memories can come rushing to the fore of the changelings mind. The practiced abuser of glamour is principally able to relegate these emotions to the jumble of bubbling emotions that play constantly through their mind. This is typically what happens for changelings who are used to glamour. However, when tapped by someone new to the flood of glamour, such as the ensorcelled, or other non- faerie creatures, the emotional weight of the experience overwhelms their conscious mind and they have a flash back to the experiences of that stolen memory. In this state they may even act out the actions of that memory, which may be highly dangerous if the specific memory is psychotic or dangerous in anyway. Fortunately such dangerous memories are not that common and changelings who collect them are distrusted. For the most part, the emotional surge will provide the user with an embarrassing scene that they can remember for a long time. This system is not designed for the typical use of glamour of the average changeling. Most of them are conditioned to its effects by the time their durance has ended and able to pass off the surge of emotion. It is more reserved for characters experiencing glamour that have no natural tolerance for it. Instead, changelings must deal with a much greater danger posed by abuse of glamour that of Reverie ( see below) . A t appropriate moments of glamour use, a character should roll their Willpower. Roll results: Dramatic Failure: A s failure. Failure: The character falls into the memory, reexperiencing its moments with intense clarity. Particularly strong scenes may overwhelm the character and cause them to be possessed by the memory. 2

Something must provoke the memory and even then the experiences are recalled as nothing more than a faded dream. 1 The character has only faint scraps of dreamlike recollection and completely denies the experience ever occurred. Should she ever lose her last point of glamour, her systems go into shock and falls into a state of extreme catatonia. They enter a motionless, apathetic state, oblivious to external stimuli. Changelings in this state have nearly non- existent physical movement, make little or no eye contact with others and become mute and rigid. The changeling will remain in these states until she is force fed some glamour to raise her out of this state, where she should be subject to Glamour Rush. 2 glamour from his target which is one more than his Resolve permits. He suffers Ennui.

New Rules: Ennui

A t first glance it may seem that certain changelings have a nicer or even easier methods of harvesting glamour. Such is not the case. Humans are not eternal fonts; their psychic energies radiate only so much in an amount of time. If a changeling draws too fast and too deep from their target they run the risk of burning them out, ripping out the ability to feel the emotion they most desperately need. Many changelings try to delude themselves that the process of gaining glamour doesnt hurt anyone. A number of them even convince themselves that they are doing some good by taking away a persons bad memories. This is not the case. The Harvest is nothing more than a psychic rape of their victim. With each Harvest they are taking away a fragile part of what makes them human. They are taking the very foundation of what makes them cogent and individual. Whenever a changeling draws glamour from their target, they lose a temporary point of Willpower. That is, the psychic energies of their will have been stolen and transfigured into a substance palatable by the changeling, through the medium of the emotion. Mortals who have been tapped too much by changelings can plummet into a pit of emotionless apathy known as Ennui. Drained they become listless and unable to generate the emotions stolen from them. Even worse, certain mortals can be so completely drained of their memories and being that they become naught but empty shells. These abominations are known as Husks and they pose a danger to both changelings and mortal- kind alike. If a changeling should draw more glamour from a target than they have Resolve ( meaning they lose more Willpower than they have Resolve) then the target sustains Ennui. The lost Willpower is rejuvenated at a much slower rate than normal, in that they may only regain 1 Willpower per number of days equal to the changelings Wyrd. Neither can they use their Virtue nor Vice to replenish this pool as Ennui removes all their desires and wants. To denote Ennui, mark a dot above all the Willpower dots whose temporary Willpower point was taken. A s the character regains their Willpower, erase these dots to indicate the alleviation of Ennui. In the example below, the mortal victim has a Willpower of 4 ( human average) and a Resolve of 2 ( also average) . The changeling has taken three points of

If the changelings Wyrd is 1, he will regain Willpower at a rate of one per day. If the changelings Wyrd was 4 he would regain 1 only at a rate of 1 every four days. To help remember this ratio, write down the changelings Wyrd in the top left or right corner of the sheet. The changeling may attempt to draw glamour from a target even whilst theyre suffering from Ennui. The emotional memories that theyre after are still in there, the character simply cannot tap them directly. To do so, the changeling initiates whatever process she desires to draw glamour. If the changelings Harvest drains the target completely of Willpower then the character runs the risk of becoming a Husk. The mortals mind begins to crumble as their very identity is being consumed. From this point the changeling can begin to devour permanent Willpower dots. Each dot takes five successes to devour, but also generates five motes of Glamour for the changeling. If the target is drained of all their Willpower dots, the victim becomes a soulless Husk. A Fae who does this, on Clarity 2 or more must make a degeneration check.

Effects of Ennui
A mortal in Ennui finds the world drab, gray and apathetic. They are unable to feel a single, solitary emotion in this time. Though they still have a sense of selfpreservation they are unable to muster the same emotional urging, meaning they possibly dont respond to threats quickly enough. Their reflexes are certainly dulled, as their initiative modifier is capped by the number of Willpower points they have. For the duration of Ennui, the victim is considered to have the following Derangement: Depersonalization (severe): Victims feel divorced from the world around them and their own identity and physicality. The person experiences reality in a dream- like state as though everything they experience is hazy or unreal. Recognition of self breaks down; he or she finds that when looking in the mirror, her face is not familiar, though logically he or she is completely aware of his or her identity. Some describe the feeling like being a ghost. No matter how hard the person tries, she cannot feel like they are genuinely interacting with the world. They can't seem to perceive themselves as being normal. While the person is struggling to feel everything as normal, there is a part of their selves, which begs to just give up and stop struggling. A sufferer from depersonalization can be especially susceptible to suicide, undertaking the suicidal process calmly and easily without real awareness. Simply put, depersonalization is an alteration in the perception or experience of oneself, so that the self is felt to be unreal; the person feels detached from reality and/or their own body or mental processes.

Will of the Prodigals

It won't be long before a player comes up with the idea of trying to mind rape a supernatural creature. This is dangerous and may scar the changeling. Before describing the effects of mind raping these creatures it should be pointed out that any creature with a supernatural template does not suffer the effects of Ennui, even though the changeling is still consuming their willpower. They have sufficient psychic defenses to keep their minds together. Furthermore, it should be pointed out that only mortals can suffer the risk of being Husked, supernatural creatures simply cannot have their fundamental will ripped from them in the same way as ordinary mortals. Such creatures have their own innate psychic resilience that changelings cannot penetrate with this activity.

Dramatic Failure: The changeling does not fall to Reverie and the next Reverie roll made for him in the same scene ( for channeling) or within the same day ( for others) does not add the overdose modifier. Failure: The changeling does not fall to Reverie Success: Reverie occurs. The number of successes on the Reverie roll determines its severity. Successes Severity 1 Malady 2 Fracture 3 Discord 4 Tempest 5+ Rapture Exceptional Success: The changeling suffers from Rapture.

Malady
A t its most basic, Reverie is turned inward. It fuels the flames of madness that lie within. The changeling suffers from the effects of Glamour Rush ( see above) . If the Storyteller is using the rules for the Shadow the changelings Shadow is active and at a threshold equal to the Changelings Mantle. If the changelings Shadow is already higher than the Changelings Mantle, then the Shadow remains at that level.

New Rules: Reverie

Changelings who use glamour dance on the edge of a knife of madness. The addictive properties of glamour are what cause changelings to fall to Reverie. If not used carefully, glamours addictive and overwhelming rush can overpower a changelings delicate balance of Clarity, throwing her psyche into disarray. Whenever a Fae uses Glamour she rides its tide of emotions and pleasure through will alone. Through practice and discipline a Fae can master these urges. It requires an inner strength that few mortals possess. Yet, every time there is a chance that they will fall into a state of supernatural madness called Reverie. When a changeling falls into Reverie, they are subject to a delusional episode, where the world around them dramatically changes and warps. However, unlike mortal delusions, a changeling is fueled by the flow of the Wyrd, and their delusions have a terrible tendency of manifesting in reality. In effect, the madness of the changeling is so acute, that her aberrant vision of reality takes over for a short time and imposes itself upon the natural order. The duration of Reverie lasts only for a scene, but within that scene, chaos and discord reign. There are five ways in which Reverie may manifest, from the deeply personal and internal, to the world sundering. The more volatile the state of Reverie, the more it inflicts itself upon the world.

Fracture
When a changeling suffers from Fracture, he Mask slips. The Mantle of the changeling becomes exposed, slipping past the illusions of the Mask in a way that is blatant and obvious even to mortal eyes. The level of the changelings Mantle determines how potent the display is. Refer to the descriptions in Changeling: the Lost for each of the Courts Mantle descriptions and exaggerate how they appear. The nature of their Season will begin to overflow into the immediate vicinity. Spring: No matter where the changeling is, flowers will bloom in her vicinity ( even on dead branches) , or a small flash storm will punctuate the vicinity. Summer: A n oppressive and sweltering heat haze surges around the changeling, causing water to steam slightly and dry objects to wither and crackle. Autumn: A n aura of gloom manifests around the changeling, casting everything into a cold darkness. Mist seems to roll in obscuring the local area for a while. Winter: The immediate vicinity suffers a snap freeze, water chills over and the ground crackles with frost. Waters and free flowing air comes to a dead still as though in halcyon. No Mantle: Changelings with no mantle will suddenly seem completely mundane to all eyes as though she were reinforcing her Mask.

Resisting Reverie
Resisting Reverie is an instant action. Whatever the cause of Reverie, changelings may try to maintain control. The rule doesnt change any, but it bears repeating: A Willpower point earns a character three extra dice on the roll to resist Reverie, as it does with most other rolls. Dice Pool: To determine Reverie, the player rolls their Wyrd + Reverie factor based on the glamour overdose Dramatic failure on a clause; clause level used Failure in channeling; clause level Consuming Dross; Potency of Dross Placing victim into ennui; 1 per glamour gained Husking a victim; 2 per W illpower do t* Action: Instant and contested against the changelings own Willpower. 4

Discord
If the Reverie transforms into Dicord, it causes any number of strange and uncanny effects to emerge into the waking world. The changelings delusions manifest into something real that twists and disturbs the world about her. The following is a list of wild effects that may take place as a consequence of Discord. The degree of effect is equivalent to the Changelings Mantle.

Angelus Morningstar
The duration of these effects lasts the remainder of that scene. Lightning Strike: The changeling is struck by lightning and suffers electrical burns, dealing 4 points of bashing damage. Once More With Feeling: The changeling is swept up into a song and dance that she cannot engage in any other physical activity for the duration. Paralysis: The changeling is completely unable to move from paralysis. Sensory Deprivation: The changeling loses the use of her dominant sense for the duration. Wilderness: Whenever the changeling performs a Contract she must check for Reverie.

1st Degree Effects

This degree of effect is normally an irritation at best. They should provide a sense of serious discomfort, such as a burning itching, or a fearful desire to run away. Feathers Touch: The changeling will feel like they are being mercilessly tickled reducing all dice pools by 1. Haven: The effect emits a zone that the changeling cannot enter preventing them from approaching closer than 8 or so meters. Humiliation: A sense of tremendous embarrassment flushes the changeling. She must spend an extra point of temporary willpower on all willpower expenditures. Poison Ivy: A burning rash breaks out across her skin. Whipping Boy: The changeling visibly flinches at making eye contact. Meeting someones eye for any duration requires a successful willpower roll.

5th Degree Effects

If a changeling ever encounters a 5th degree effect they are in real danger. Such effects may turn the changeling to stone, flay skin, fly into rage or fall temporarily into Lethe. St. Vitus Dance: The changeling collapses from suffering epileptic fits. Exile: The changeling must flee as far away as possible from the sight of the effect up to a maximum distance of 100 km. Immolation: The changeling catches fire with a powerful intensity. Fearsome Visage: A ll of the changelings glyphs take on a monstrous appearance and will cause fear and fright for all those who gaze upon her. Gorgons Curse: The changeling is turned into a stone statue. If the statue is destroyed before the effect wears off the changeling dies.

2nd Degree Effects

Second- degree effects can be problematic for a changeling; they should either make her feel pain, make her feel nauseous or ill. Anthrophobia: The changeling is filled with a terrible fear of mortals ( including ghouls, wolfblooded and sleepwalkers) . A pproaching them requires a successful willpower roll with a 1 to the dice pool. Flagellation: Whip marks scourge the body of the changeling causing pain. Glamour Sink: A ll contracts cost one more point of glamour than normal. Nausea: The changeling is wracked with a sickening nausea that makes her vomit violently if she moves too quickly ( more than half her speed) or takes any strenuous action. Sensory Overload: One of the changelings senses becomes so sensitive that it is overloaded to the point of pain. The changeling suffers a 2 penalty to all her rolls.

Tempest
When a Tempest occurs, the very essence of the changelings Mantle erupts into a violent tempest. The higher the Mantle is, the greater the eruption of destructive force. Changelings without mantle slip into a catatonic stupor for the duration of the Tempest as the torrent of emotions find no way to express themselves.

3rd Degree Effects

A t their middling strength effects begin to be fearful for most changeling. They can instill a sense of depression or fear in the changeling, strike her blind or banish her from sight. Dilation: The changeling is slow to respond and moves through time as though her speed was halved. She acts only every second turn and gains only half her initiative. Frailty: The changeling is inflicted with a minor Frailty for the rest of the scene. Glamour Burn: Glamour begins to burst her arteries, for every point of glamour spent the changeling takes one point of bashing damage. Razor Wind: The effect causes the air around her to slice her with razor sharpness cutting and making the character bleed profusely. Wild Magic: It becomes harder to control her Glamour. Subtract two dice from her willpower for Reverie checks.

Spring Mantle
Rank one: The changeling experiences a shifts in colors and perceptions that leave her dazed and confused, for the duration of a scene the changeling suffers a penalty to all perception based tests equal to her Mantle. Further, a cloud of biting gnats or similar insects emerges around her, biting at her skin. For days afterwards, the changelings skin continues to itch or feel sore from the bites. Rank two: A swarm of locusts, or similar insects emerges within the changelings sensory range, descending upon woven fabrics and harvested food. The locusts swarm for a scene and seek to consume anything created but organic ( such as clothing, ropes or furniture) . It deals them a number of points of damage equal to the changelings Mantle. A t the end of the scene, they seem to disappear from wherever it was they emerged. Furthermore, all witnesses will find their senses horribly confused and warped, levering a penalty to their perception tests equal to the changelings Mantle factor for the scene. Rank three: Thickets of brambles and thorns burst through the cracks in the ground range and the nooks and crannies of the walls within sensory range creating large structural damage in any buildings or similar edifice. This 5

4th Degree effects will make most changelings shudder. She may be rendered paralyzed, suffer temporary amnesia.

damage is equal to the changelings Mantle. The changeling herself becomes horribly confused and filled with a strong confusion that robs her of her Wits. For the duration or the Tempest, she suffers a penalty to her Wits based tests equal to the changelings Mantle. Both effects last for the duration of a scene, after which, the plant- life seems to shrivel and fade away, leaving behind whatever damage they wreaked. Rank four: Larger plants, including small trees, seem to erupt from the walls and floors within the changelings sensory range forcing cracks and rents in structures around the changeling as roots crack floors, branches shatter windows and press against roofs. Structurally unsound buildings, or buildings of a small enough Size ( equal to or less than ten times the changelings Mantle) will simply collapse. Creatures within sensory range of the changeling will be overwhelmed with a subtle malady, obfuscating and clouding their thoughts, brining their instincts to the fore. People will suffer a penalty to their Wits based tests equal to the changelings Mantle and act primitively, according to their Vice or other instinctual urges for the scene. The plants, however, remain for a longer duration, not completely fading until the next sunrise or sunset, whereupon they seem to fade into the background leaving the traces of their wreckage. Rank five: There is almost and explosion of greenery, as carpets of grass roll out smothering all in its path. Gigantic trees erupt from the ground and thickets stretch in between, covering all within sensory range with a lush verdant forest. The density of this forest ( the Strength required to push through it) is equal to the changelings Mantle. Furthermore, all creatures within sensory range of the changeling are transfigured into a simple animal of some description ( one suited to their personality) . For the duration of a scene, the creatures will move about as animals, after which they revert to normal. The greenery is more pervasive, taking a whole day for the local environment to revert to normal. within the changelings sensory range suffer a number of points of lethal damage equal to her Mantle, victims will suffer from second- degree burns. Rank five: A storm of molten metal rains in the sensory range of the changeling. The firestorm does an amount of damage to objects in the vicinity, ignoring Durability, equal to the changelings Mantle. Victims within range, including the changeling, suffer a number of points of A ggravated damage equal to the Mantle. A ll victims will be suffering from third- degree burns.

Autumn Mantle
Rank one: A fetid stench of rotting effluence engulfs the changeling, filling her with nausea. If the changelings Stamina is less than or equal to the changelings Mantle she will promptly throw up. If it is less than or equal to the changelings Mantle 2 she will be overwhelmed with the nausea, causing her to collapse for the scene. Rank two: The wave of nausea fills the immediate atmosphere, causing all creatures in its vicinity to suffer the following effects. If their Stamina is less than or equal to the changelings Mantle she will promptly throw up. If it is less than or equal to the changelings Mantle 2 they will be overwhelmed with the nausea, causing them to collapse for the scene. Furthermore, various food products within sensory range, like milk, juices and other liquids, will curdle and become fetid, unpalatable for consumption. Rank three: The changeling is hit with a wasting disease. She temporarily loses a number of boxes in her health chart equal to the changelings Mantle. This attrition lasts for a whole scene, after which the lost attributes restore themselves at a rate of one per day. Her skin becomes wane and rank, her form withered and weak. In her vicinity ( sensory range) , food begins to rot and various wooden structures warp and stone becomes eroded. Rank four: A wasting disease hits all people within sensory range. They temporarily lose a number of boxes in their health chart equal to the changelings Mantle. This attrition lasts for a whole scene, after which the lost attributes restore themselves at a rate of one per day. Furthermore, in the vicinity of her sensory range, blight is released afflicting food, crops and other living creatures. Most produce will wither and rot off their plants. The ground becomes soaked wet, leaving muddy puddles everywhere impeding quick movements somewhat. Rank five: A belching blight emerges from the changeling like a buzzing swarm of flies. This miasmic cloud billows across the immediate vicinity of the changeling ( within sensory range) and will cause any living creature or similar produce to begin to rot. Stored or otherwise preserved food will turn bad and any food recently consumed will turn sour leaving their consumers slightly queasy. A ll creatures in the vicinity will be struck with a disease that has a toxicity rating equal to the changelings Mantle. The damage dealt is lethal, and is inflicted once a day until cured or treated.

Summer Mantle
Rank one: A core burst of heat wells up inside the changeling causing the changeling to suffer a number of points of bashing damage equal to her Mantle. Her body will break out into a heat rash and appear sunburned. Rank two: A concussive blast of heat radiates off the changeling causing combustible things around her to crackle and smolder. The changeling and anyone within the changelings sensory range suffer a number of points of bashing damage equal to her Mantle. Victims will appear slightly singed and the smell of burnt leather and hair will linger about her for days. Rank three: Small flares of fire burst from the changeling and small combustible materials catch on fire. The changeling and suffers a number of points of lethal damage equal to her Mantle and will suffer from firstdegree burns. Rank four: A large wave of flame flares out from the changeling touching everything within sensory range. Combustible objects are engulfed in flames and a patina of molten metal bursts in the immediate vicinity doing a number of points of damage to objects in the vicinity equal to the changelings Mantle. The changeling and anyone 6

Winter Mantle
Rank one: A small blast of chilling cold steals through the changeling, freezing her to the marrow and making her limbs feel numb and heavy. For the duration of the Tempest, the changeling temporarily suffers a penalty to

Angelus Morningstar
their Dexterity equal to the changelings Mantle, including derivative attributes such as Defense. Rank two: The creeping chill steals out across the within the changelings sensory range. Dew and moisture upon objects turns to frost, covering most things with a film of ice. A ll people within sensory range, including the changeling, suffer from a deep marrow- biting chill that inflicts numbness to their limbs. A ll living creatures temporarily suffer a penalty to their Dexterity equal to the changelings Mantle, including derivative attributes such as Defense. Rank three: Puddles snap- freeze and trails of slick ice cover many moist surfaces. Locks, doors and many similar portals throughout the horizon are held shut by the frost, requiring Strength equal to the changelings Mantle to break open. The changelings body is filled with a terrible lethargy and slowness. For the duration of the Tempest, the changelings movement, Defense and initiative are halved, and the changeling suffers a penalty to her Wits equal to the changelings Mantle. Rank four: Within the changelings sensory range, a snap freeze occurs. Sheaths of ice seem to climb up walls and across the road, blocking many of the convenient routes and sealing most windows and other portals, each with a durability equal to the changelings Mantle. The people within sensory range are caught in this snap freeze and will begin to suffer hypothermia and a desire to go to sleep. To avoid the desire to sleep a person must test with Resolve + Stamina, with a penalty to the roll equal to the changelings Mantle. Rank five: A deathly quiet extols across the changelings sensory range. The world is simply covered in an icy- tomb, snap frozen into immobility. A ll the living creatures in the changelings sensory range are turned into life- like statures for a number of minutes equal to the changelings Mantle. Even after they return to life, they feel numb and unfeeling. Roads, doors and other pathways are simply cut off and cause the entire place to be isolated. A ny attempts to leave or pass through their barriers will require a number of successes equal to the changelings Mantle on a relevant extended roll. Mantle Three: The Oriel opens up into an Oubliette. Though this place can be hostile to the changeling, the changeling arrives in a location that is reasonably safe, for a while. The Oriel, however, is likely to draw unwanted attention. Mantle Four: The Oriel opens up into the depths of the Widderslainte. Truly horrific stories are told of being landed in such innately hostile territory. Mantle Five: Woe to those who suffer from a level five Rapture as the Oriel steals the characters away into the Somnus itself. Many changeling stolen away like this, never return to tell the tale.

New Rules: Contagion

Madness is infectious, especially for mortals exposed to the supernatural maladies of the fae. Whenever a mortal is exposed to the magics of the fae, without some measure of protection ( such as those offered by ensorcellment) , they run the risk of being infected with the madness of Faerie. Mortals that glimpse a changeling in her mien will be often be inflicted by this delirium. A ny mortal affected by the magic of faerie stands a chance of being dream struck, or infected by the madness of the place. No amount of psychotherapy or non- magical recall will allow the mortal to remember the events. What happens to the mortal largely depends on their willpower. There is no roll made, the results are based on the effective level of willpower the mortal has when they encounter the supernatural magic of Faerie. However, if this is the result of seeing a changeling in her mien, subtract the changelings Mantle from their effective willpower. To determine how strong the contagion is, consult the following chart whenever a mortal witnesses a Fae in her mien. Willpower 10: These people are the Iron- willed for they are completely cognizant and able to function as normal. These people will remember the events of this encounter as clearly as any other event of their lives. Willpower 8-9: These mortals have a phenomenal sense of will. In confronting Faerie they can function as normally, with the caveat that though they realize the events are out of the ordinary, they will not view them as alarming unless confronted with direct danger. Upon exposure to Faerie they suffer a mild derangement for that scene. A fterwards only the most intense aspects of the experience and remembered, leaving only a half- lucid event as though they had been drunk or intoxicated. A successful Intelligence + Composure check allows them to remember the experience ( but not the nature of Faerie or the fae) , and Extraordinary Success brings total recall. Willpower 5-7: Mortals at this level can resist most of the effects of Faerie. Whilst in its presence they function as normal, seeming to accept the anomalies of Faerie as part of normalcy. A s long as this mortal remains enthralled by Faerie, they will suffer from any of the derangements of the changeling with the highest Wyrd in that scene. Once outside, they forget enough of the events to make it seem like a lucid dream. On a successful Intelligence + Composure check, the mortal will have vague recall, enough to make it feel oddly real but only recalled in a 7

Rapture
A t its most dangerous, a changeling may suffer from a Rapture, which manifests an Oriel, a crack between the waking world and dreaming realms. Here the crack opens wide and sucks the changeling into the dreaming realms. Where the crack opens depends largely on the changelings Mantle, the higher the Mantle the more dangerous the location. Furthermore, for every dot of Wyrd above one the changeling has, one of the changelings companions or other targets in the vicinity will be sucked in along with them. Mantle One: The Oriels power is only strong enough to dump them into the nearby Hedge. Though the wilderness can be tricky and confusing, the changeling should eventually be able to navigate her way out. Mantle Two: The Oriel throws the changeling and companions deeper into the Labyrinth, placing them in locations that are difficult to navigate back from, or territories that might be hostile.

Angelus Morningstar
vague symbolic way. A n Extraordinary Success will allow her to recall a general overview of the events but not well enough to remember details clearly. Willpower 3-4: This is the level that most mortals exist. A t this level, mortals function in a deep dreamlike state, with a modicum of their own sense of self- preservation they will attempt to defend their own life if needed. They will suffer from the derangements of the changeling with the highest Wyrd for a number of nights equal to that Wyrd. Once free of their enthrallment they forget most of the events, grasping only fleeting images of it that are hazy and confused. Willpower 1-2: A ny human at this effective level of willpower the mortal is completely subject to Faerie. Not only do they maintain the changeling with the highest Wyrds derangements for a number of nights equal to that Wyrd she becomes a carrier for the Faerie as well. A ny other mortal she comes into contact with for any period of length ( an hour or more of interaction with them) will suffer those derangements for an entire day and night. Once the mortal is free of contagion their madness is such that there are simply no memories for them to block, just gaps in the mind of the mortal, who may even deny the desire to introspect them. Willpower 0: If for some reason a witness effective Willpower is reduced to zero, they suffer all the effects of the above, but at the end of it all they gain a perm anent derangement most appropriate to the scenario. If they have no derangements they may gain one of the mild derangements belonging to the changeling with the highest Wyrd in the scene. If they already have that derangement it may be upgraded to severe. changelings because it causes the least amount of psychological trauma in their victims as the changeling is attempting to draw out emotions that lie deep beneath the surface of the consciousness. They are memories so far into that persons past that it becomes difficult for them to notice it missing. They take childhood memories that have less relevance but still contain strong emotional virility. They take memories that have been bottled up or suppressed. Or they take memories that are lost amongst many others of its own nature. These are the deeply dwelling memories that must be tapped into by an Exhumation. To draw into these memories a changeling must initiate a drawn out process that lets her psychically delve into the subjects mind, like a deep hypnosis; and, like hypnosis, once the processes is initiated the subject enters into a trance like state. The changeling must continue to engage the victim, speaking and directing the subject to this memory ( if a specific one is known) or generally trying to find a suitable one. A s she does so, these hidden memories come welling to the surface as the subject revisits their experience. Because of the finesse requires to perform this feat, a changeling cannot simply perform Exhumation on any person. The changeling must either be touching the target or have an acco rdanc e with them ( acco rdance is a property of Dominion which were described above) . Only once this is achieved, can the changeling begin the process.

System
Once the connection is established the changeling makes an extended roll contested by the subjects Willpower. The dice pool used will be largely dependant on the manner the changeling searches for the emotions. If they do it through a casual conversation it may be Manipulation + Empathy. If they attempt to mentally probe the victims thoughts it might be Intelligence + Occult. The amount of glamour that they can draw depends on the amount of successes gained. Multiple successes indicate that the changeling has either discovered a singular potent emotion, or a number of smaller emotions of the same variety. Dice Pool: Seeking pool contested by the subjects Willpower Action: Extended; target number equals number of points of glamour to be drawn out. Each roll takes approximately ten minutes of communion with the target. Roll results: Dramatic Failure: A ll successes are lost immediately and the target immediately snaps out of their trance and develops a mild aversion to the changeling in question. The changeling cannot attempt to draw glamour from that target again for the night. Failure: The changeling fails to find any memories of significance or fails to draw a strong enough Success: The changeling feels the surge of the emotion flood her mind. Particularly strong scenes may give the changeling quick flashes of what occurred, but nothing more. Extraordinary Success: The changeling feels a slight surge of emotion only.

The Harvest
Glamour is neither free nor cheap. For a changeling to Harvest glamour she must somehow either tap into the deep wellspring of their emotional reservoir, or inflame a profound emotion in that moment there and then. Much of a changelings life is dedicated to the Harvest. To find this Glamour a changeling must either induce these emotions from their prey, or rip it out of them by force. The changeling must therefore be able to manipulate people in a manner of their choosing so that they can gather what they need. While the core book of Changeling: the Lost presence a default method of harvesting glamour, it is reasonably simplified. For stories where the Harvest is not a central component, that will probably serve the purposes needed. What is presented here are three systems of Harvesting glamour to deeply invest into the storytelling of the Harvest. These rules assume the use of the rules of Ennui and Reverie ( see above) . Storytellers may choose to use these all the time, or only for certain scenes to highlight aspects of the Harvest.

Exhumation
The first and most subtle method of gaining glamour is through the process of exhumation. This allows a changeling to draw upon deeply buried emotions from a target and subtly siphon them off for glamour in a slow and careful way. This method is probably the most favored by 8

Ebullition
The second most common method of Harvest is that of Ebullition. This method has the changeling quickly inflame a targets emotion and then directly consume that single experience. It is a direct and almost violent psychic assault on her target that tears the glamour away in one single rapturous burst. Ebullition has a few advantages over Exhumation. The primary one being that it doesnt need accordance or touch to work. A ny singular mortal target may be subject to its effects ( any creature with a template cannot be affected by Ebullition) . A nother more enjoyed benefit is that the experience can be quite thrilling for the changeling. During the process of Ebullition the changeling develops a strange synergy with her victim, allowing her to feel the thrill of the emotions she wishes to consume almost before they are transmuted into glamour. A secondary benefit that is not readily apparent is the fact that the victim rarely remembers the event. This is primarily because the memory stolen in the action is in fact the act of the attack itself. The victim simply cannot remember the assault. However, Ebullition is not without its limitations. It is an all or nothing process and can only be performed on a singular target in a single night. Furthermore, the maximum amount of glamour that can be harvested from a single target is capped by their Resolve ( 2 for most humans) . This means that a canny changeling can potentially take a few draughts of glamour from a number of different targets in a single night. There is no single roll that can decide this; it is entirely based on whatever tactic is used and may in fact be more the purview of roleplaying than mechanics. A s an impromptu system, the Storyteller may elect to set the player an extended test with the appropriate dice pool ( Presence + Intimidate to induce fear, Manipulation + Persuasion to arouse them or even Dexterity + A thletics to physically taunt them into rage) . The target number is the number of points of glamour they wish to consume, and the time between rolls is based on the difficulty of their task. Consult the extended actions chart for a guideline.

Dice Pool: Wyrd Action: Instant Roll results: Dramatic Failure: A s failure. Failure: The target loses no willpower and the changeling gains no glamour. The victim recalls the experience. Success: The changeling gains one mote of glamour and the victim loses one Willpower point for every success. This is capped by the targets Resolve. Extraordinary Success: A s normal success, but with higher amounts of glamour gained.

Epiphany
The final and the rarest method that a changeling can acquire glamour is through the process of Epiphany. In this way, the changeling is able to rape the psyche of her own mortal memories. This can only be done in places where the flesh and dream merge, such as within the Hedge or within a mortals dreams. The process is neither easy nor pleasant. The changeling essentially tears a hole in her own mind to erupt the flow of its own glamour. In doing this, the changeling is sacrificing part of her own psyche. For every point gained she loses one of her own points of Willpower, she also suffers a point of Ennui for every point thus gained. A changeling, however, may not consume her own dots of Willpower, no matter the situation.

System
The system is simple. The changeling rolls her Clarity and gains a number of points of glamour equal to her successes. Dice Pool: Clarity Action: Instant Roll results: Dramatic Failure: A s failure. Failure: The changeling gains no glamour. Success: The changeling gains one mote of glamour and loses one Willpower point for every success. Each point taken creates a point of Ennui. Extraordinary Success: A s normal success, but with higher amounts of glamour gained.

System
Once the desired emotion is inspired in the target, the changeling rolls their Wyrd. The mortal has no defense against this.
