Hello everyone!
The time has come to discuss something very important, that being the final (or close to final, if I'm overlooking something) XP accounting of Changeling magical extras.
I'm very firm on the belief that in order to make the venue a fair and equitable place, we must use XP to justify what characters have access to. Thus we need to get rid of the random hedge fruit and trifles, and even TOKENS that are floating around out there and pin them all down with XP buys. However, Hedgefruit and Trifles don't have easy XP purchase options, so let's discuss strategy!
What I'm thinking for Hedgefruit is this:
Hedgefruit will be a 1-5 dot merit and it will function similarly to contacts. That is to say, each dot of Hedgefruit would net a character access to one type of hedgefruit. So with two dots you could have one that healed, and one that acted as a poison or something. We'd just use hedgefruit from the books to make things manageable to start with. Also, dots in Hedgefruit would limit the amount a character has access to, in addition to Wyrd. So if you had 1 dot, you only had access to one. If you had three dots you could have three, and mix and match with the three strains you have access to.
Trifles...I'm not sure about Trifles. They're a lot of fun, but they're harder to quantify in my opinion. Any ideas?
