'''Effect:''' This [[Merits|Merit]] reflects how well liked and respected
you are in a Court other than your own. While members
of a given Court will always be true to their own members
and agendas above all, they are more likely to give you the
benefit of the doubt in a dispute, or come to your assistance
if it does not undermine their own position. Unlike [[Mantle]],
which represents a supernatural quality as well as a political
one, Court Goodwill is entirely a social construct, and
depends entirely on the opinions of the members of that
Court. Mistreat them, and Court Goodwill can disappear
in a flash; cultivate their friendship, and they might rally to
your defense when no one else will.

Court Goodwill adds to dice pools for social interaction
with members of the Court in question (though not supernatural
powers based on Social rolls). Each two dots (rounding
up) add a +1 die bonus to relevant rolls with members of
that particular Court, so a changeling with Court Goodwill
(Autumn) •• adds a +1 die bonus to Social rolls with a member
of the Autumn Court. The Merit also allows one to learn
some of that Court’s Contracts, though the highest levels are
generally reserved for members alone. As with [[Mantle]], loss of
Court Goodwill does not prevent the changeling from using
any Contracts that she no longer meet the prerequisites for,
though she suffers the usual penalties (see p. 124). This [[Merits|Merit]]
may be purchased multiple times, representing a character’s
relationship with a different Court each time. A player cannot
purchase Court Goodwill (Courtless); the Empty Hearts
are not a social entity in their own right. Lastly, a character
cannot purchase Court Goodwill with his own Court that is
the province of the [[Mantle]] [[Merits|Merit]].

Because Court Goodwill is a purely social construction, a
changeling may choose to ignore an attempt by another character
to apply Court Goodwill to a roll they are involved in,
essentially snubbing him despite his reputation in their Court.
For example, if an [[Autumn]] changeling tried to apply Court
Goodwill ([[Summer]]) •••• to a roll against member of the [[Summer]]
Court, the target could declare that he was ignoring the
character’s reputation and thus deny the Autumn changeling
those two bonus dice. However, such disrespect is a serious insult.
Unless the snubbing character can prove there was a valid
reason to do so the outsider was throwing his weight around
in a supremely petty fashion, for example, or trying to use his
leverage to get the character to act against the best interests of
the Court more often than not, the momentary satisfaction
of the slight costs the character dearly within his own Court.
It might even result in a reduction of his Mantle rating as his
reputation as a member of that Court slips, not to mention earn
him the ire of the Court whose member he snubbed.
