The True Fae adore games, even if they despise the possibility of losing. Some Wizened were kept precisely to empower the Gentry’s love of games. The changeling was forced to play against her Keeper, or against canny goblins and cheating imps; or she was made a part of the games, a chess piece in a game that repeated over and over again, or the queen of spades in a long poker game. She mastered many games during her durance, but cannot remember them all; some operated by rules that made no sense in Arcadia, much less in the more solid reality of the mortal world.
The Gameplayer’s blessing is the Grandmaster’s Stratagem: by spending a Glamour point, she can win any purely mental based game she plays (such as chess or checkers). She also gains a bonus three dice to any rolls made to gamble with games that involve a mixture of mental acuity and random chance (poker and sports betting, for instance, but not craps).
| This Kith's Blessing has been changed to the following: Grandmaster's Strategem: Gain a +3 bonus to all games that involve both Mental skill and luck. Mental-acuity based games are not automatically won.
