'''Clarification:''' While RAW does not explicitly indicate whether certain Contracts require Line of Sight or for the user to be in sensory range of the target, here in the Edge of Darkness, we require that a character using a Contract on someone must have Line of Sight of their target in order to successfully use a Contract on them. | '''Clarification:''' While RAW does not explicitly indicate whether certain Contracts require Line of Sight or for the user to be in sensory range of the target, here in the Edge of Darkness, we require that a character using a Contract on someone must have Line of Sight of their target in order to successfully use a Contract on them. | ||
+ | ===Shapeshifting Contracts=== | ||
+ | Additionally, any contract that involves shapeshifting, such as Fang and Talon, Elements, or Mirror, display clearly fae aspects while in the Hedge. Thus, a Fang and Talon transformation into a dog in the Hedge will not appear as a regular German Shepard, but rather some combination of German Shepshep and fantastic creature, and a Mirror contract would perhaps leave a reflective quality to the user's skin. | ||

+ | Characters must be in play for at least 3 - 6 months to become eligible to join a Court after Character Creation. This way you have time to settle into your Character's mindset and hopefully promote Role Playing. To join a Court during play you must gain permission through a request on your Character Sheet, after which during a Scene or Glimpse spend 1 Willpower and 1 Glamour while making an Oath to the Season, which needs to be linked back to your Character Sheet. | ||
