Character Creation
Character Creation follows the guidelines laid out in Changeling 20 and the OWBN C20 MET conversion Packet. Characters begin with 60xp.
Open Availability: Boggans, Eshu, Ghille Dhu, Nockers, Pooka, Redcaps, Satyrs, Sluagh, Trolls, and Sidhe of Houses Dougal, Eiluned, Fiona, Gwydion, Liam, and Scathach.
Please note that Attribute Traits, Abilities, etc granted by Birthrights and House Boons allow a Character to exceed their normal maximums (Boggans may have Crafts x6, Redcaps can have Intimidation x6, etc). In the case of Birthrights that grant Abilities such as Crafts (the Nocker Birthright, for example), only the type of Crafts chosen for the Birthright may be raised to x6, not all types of Crafts.
For other concepts, please speak with a Storyteller and have an idea of your background.
Restricted Backgrounds:
- Holdings. Freehold membership will be earned in character, at which point the Holdings background may become available.
- Title. Any PC wishing to begin with a title higher than x2 must be part of a fealty chain. Knights errant are acceptable - speak to us about some of the knightly orders! - but Squires (Title x1) should be sworn to a Knight.
- Influence. Many Influences are inherently banal - please speak to us about any Influences you may want.
- Treasure. At Character Creation, you may freely purchase one Treasure, rated between 1-5 points. Please look over the Treasure Guidelines above and have a rough idea of what you want, to discuss with staff.
Arts
Characters choose three (3) Arts at Character Creation which are their 'natural' Arts; these may be improved without a teacher. Any other Arts must be taught by another Changeling.
Restricted Arts (Commoners): Chronos, Naming, Sovereign
Restricted Arts (Nobles): Chicanery, Metamorphosis
OWBN R&U Restrictions
Please note that Chronos, Naming, and the 5th level of Spring are Coordinator Approval, and the Ghille Duh Kith are classified as Coordinator Notification by OWBN Bylaws; the Selkie Kith is classified as Rare, and requires a Council Vote.

Welcome
January 1st, 2016
Dave and I are excited to bring you Mind's Eye Theater Changeling: The Dreaming. The first story arc will commence in character on the holiday of Imbolc. We will be hosting a character creation day for players the fourth Saturday in January, location TBD.
We have seen a lot of you making Changeling PCs to play in other games. It seems there is a strong desire for a Changeling game, and we are happy to oblige. We invite anyone with a Changeling character in an OWBN game to play, as well as players who have never played the genre. It's a fantastic genre to come into fresh, because new chrysalises can start out with little knowledge of the faerie world, and learn in character. The game supports a rich network of PCs filling the roles of wonders, seekers and keepers, to use some of Onyx's new language from Changeling 20.
Changeling runs the gamut from the goofy to the heartbreakingly tragic. A dancing lemur in a pirate costume with a steam-powered gatling gun arm could be raiding the cookie jar in the same game session that a beloved mentor is wasting away, and all you can do is watch the light in their eyes slowly die, knowing everything that made them special will be gone forever by sunset.
Here, there be dragons. Here, there be giant robot golems. Here there be horrors of the elder dark.
Every year on the Winter Solstice, the balefires in the Faerie Freeholds across Concordia go out. Special travelers, called Firebrands, set out from Tara-Nar, carrying lanterns that contain fire from the Well of Flame beneath High King David's palace. The lanterns are used to replenish the balefire of every freehold during the Imbolc ceremony. It starts at the palaces of the kings and queens of the kingdoms that make up Concordia, and down from there to the lowliest hearths and holds. It is considered a bad omen if the firebrands fail to make their appearance at a freehold before Imbolc.
Faerie Balefire keeps out the cold wind of Banality and preserves the Glamour that maintains the freehold. Imbolc is a festival celebrating the balefire and its replenishment after the long darkness of winter. Also known as Bard's Day, Imbolc marks great competitions among bards and other performers. Originally sacred to the Celtic goddess Brigid, patroness of fire, smithcraft and poetry, Imbolc honors the creative spirit.
Send us your sheets if you have them, come to character creation day to form background ties and relationships and ask for all the weird stuff. We plan on doing a raffle to help off-set some of our site costs, which will involve attractive props and stories to go with them. We can't wait! Hope to see you there.
