Changeling Hacks


 * Lost who are trapped away from the Hedge and other fae sources of Glamour can starve to death due to lack of Glamour. When a changeling’s Glamour drops to zero, she begins to lose health levels at each point when a Glamour would normally be lost. (One point of blunt damage with the loss of each point of Glamour below zero.) This damage can only be “healed” with Glamour, not through normal healing methods, and the passage of time (outside of the Hedge) only exacerbates the issue.
 * A changeling who harvests more than 10 Glamour in one harvest must make a Resolve + Composure roll or be treated as though he has consumed a hallucinogen (see the World of Darkness Rulebook, p. 177). Treat the effect as a hallucinogen with a strength of 1 (meaning it incurs a –1 penalty), with an additional point of strength for each additional amount of Glamour equal to his composure, to a maximum strength of 3. This effect counts as taking a hallucinogenic drug for Clarity purposes.
 * A changeling who harvests more points of Glamour than she has dots of Composure is treated as though she had consumed a dose of one of the drugs described on p. 177 of the World of Darkness Rulebook. Try to match the effects of the drug with the type 64 Chapter Three: The Wyrd of emotion harvested: alcohol or marijuana for mellow, downer emotions, cocaine, crack or speed for edgy emotions such as anger, frustration or paranoia, or heroin for dreamy, consuming emotions, from pure bliss to utter despair. At this level of harvesting, the Glamour should not mimic a hallucinogen. Truly epic harvests (six or more Glamour) are a feast for the changeling’s senses. “Taste” becomes almost a misnomer, as the sensation of harvesting becomes more like an acid trip than a mere sensation. Kinesthesia (perceiving stimuli with the “wrong” senses, such as hearing a number or seeing music) is a common effect of harvesting large amounts of Glamour, as are hallucinations and feelings of tremendous interconnectedness. Changelings who harvest a large amount of Glamour often claim to be able to share emotions with all mortals within a several-block radius,or sometimes even larger.
