Fair Folk

The twisted creations of the Wyld, the Fair Folk seek to enjoy Creation or to destroy it - either way, their actions tend to be unhealthy for the unfortunate mortals trapped in their machinations. A rare few seek to protect the world, but even they tend towards the bizarre and unknowable.

General Revisions

• Fair Folk are ageless, but the stasis of Creation has a way of getting into their natures. Like elementals, a Fair Folk's experience ratings are limited by their Essence rating. Fair Folk are limited to [Essence x250] XP, and must raise their Essence ratings to gain more experience.
• No Fair Folk may have an Essence rating more than double her Heart rating. This means that non-heroic commoners are limited to Essence 2, while nobles can manage Essence 6-8. Only the Unshaped can surpass this, reaching a potential Essence 10. Note that Fair Folk absolutely do not require maximum Essence to raise their Heart, and many Unshaped are far lower than their potential.
• Fair Folk commoners pay Current Rating x10 to increase their Essence, and buy Charms at 10 XP each. If a commoner becomes a noble, recalculate their experience totals for this things as though they had been nobles the entire time to determine maximum XP, but do not refund spent XP (for example, a commoner with Essence 4 and 4 Charms purchased has spent 90 XP, but counts as though she had spent 64 XP).
• Gossamer objects designed after artifacts count as one level lower than their actual level when determining how many a Fair Folk can wear using the system's revised maximum artifact rules.
• At the start of each story, characters' Gossamer pools reset to the numbers determined by their Gossamer Background.
• A character who enters bedlam due to having a Grace destroyed can restore it only if a new Grace is forged for them, and if they take the usual actions required to escape bedlam.
• Fair Folk calculate their Shaping health tracks as (Essence + Grace), rather than (Virtue + Grace). Shaping soak is equal to Attribute, rather than Attribute + Willpower.

Equipment Revisions

Fair Folk have their own Shaping weapons. These take up enough space that they're getting their own page.

Charm Revisions

All Charm revisions will wait until the release of Graceful Wicked Masques.
