Chimera points depend on background level:
- 1 dot = 10 points
- 2 dots = 15 points
- 3 dots = 20 points
- 4 dots = 30 points
- 5 dots = 50 points
Spending chimera points: (all of these stats start at a baseline of zero)
| Stat | Chimera points | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Attributes | 1 for 3 dots (house rule based on C20 320: need not be all in the same category) | Can exceed 5, but can't exceed Glamour |
| Abilities | 1 for 3 dots | |
| Glamour | 1 for 1 dot | Pool stat, regain 1/hour in Dreaming |
| Willpower | 3 for 1 dot | Pool stat, regain 1/day |
| Health levels | 1 for 2 dots | Can't exceed 5 * Stamina |
| Redes | Equal to rede level | |
| Banes | Gives extra chimera points equal to rede level | Max 12 total |
Attack: Str+1 chimerical if not using weapons or redes
| Rede | Chimera Point cost | Use cost (Glamour) | Effect |
|---|---|---|---|
| Aggravated Damage | 3 | none | exactly what it says on the tin |
| Animate | 3 | 1 + X (mass) + Y (duration) | move up to 20 pounds of non-living matter (each point in X doubles max) for 1 turn (each point in Y adds a turn), roll Intelligence + Melee + 2*X if using it as an attack |
| Archetype* | 10/15/20 (1/2/3 uses) | 1/turn until complete | grab target and roll resisted Willpower to absorb them and their abilities |
| Armor | 1 per point | none | extra soak |
| Befuddle | 3 | 1 | Glamour vs target's Willpower, target loses 1 die per excess success while chimera is still around |
| Breath | 5 (3 if non-damage, e.g. sleep) | N (minimum 1) | each target in range (long line / medium cone / short cloud) takes 3+N dice of damage, higher init can spend an action to run out of range |
| Difficulty Reduction | 3 (-1) or 6 (-2) | none | affects a specific activity (e.g. running), not an entire ability or attribute |
| Dreadful Gaze* | 8 | 2 | target rolls Stamina + Kenning vs user's Willpower, fewer than 3 successes = turn to stone (only permanent if they're chimera and fail the roll) |
| Dreamform | 5 | none | no physical form or attributes, still has health levels (no cap), only affected by Arts/treasures, Autumn People etc. may make it materialize temporarily or permanently |
| Dreamweaving | 4 | none | from Dreaming, target someone sleeping in normalspace, roll Glamour vs target's Willpower (-1 per two previous attempts against same target) to control their dream; repeated use causes target to gain no benefit from sleep (eventually loss of permanent Willpower, insanity, death) |
| Enchantment | 3 | 1/hour in freehold or Dreaming, 1/turn elsewhere | damage still chimerical unless Wyrd rede used |
| Ensnare | 2 | 1 for a human-sized object | Strength 2 and 2 armor per 3 Glamour (less than 3 Glamour: Strength 1 and 1 armor) |
| Entrancement | 4 | 1 Willpower | roll Glamour vs target's Banality (+1 per previous attempt against same target), lasts one scene per success, target must understand user's language |
| Fear | 2 | 1 | 1-10 turns, Willpower (-1 turn per success) |
| Fester | 5 | 1/level | manifests within hours, aware victim resists with Willpower, Primal 4 (Heather Balm) can cure damage but not the disease itself |
| Flight | 3 | 1/hour | (25 * Dexterity) feet/turn |
| Gulp | 3 | 2 | 5+ successes on attack roll, automatic damage per turn |
| Glamour Pact | 5 | 1 permanent | +2 diff to craft/forge/trap them in a treasure unwillingly |
| Healing | 5 | 1/level | chimerical only unless Wyrd rede used |
| Hide | 5 (self) or 7 (others too) | 1 per person/item affected | Perception + Kenning vs 8, 1 success = general location, 2+ successes = detected; lasts the scene (up to an hour); if target or searcher is unenchanted, requires Wyrd rede |
| Illusions | 3 | 1 + N | similar to Fuddle (target object must still appear roughly same size), doesn't affect targets with Perception 4+ or supernatural vision; suspicious targets roll Perception + Kenning vs (6+N, max 9), 2+ successes = see through it |
| Poof Begone | 3 | 1 | teleport within line of sight (+50 feet if at a trod or mushroom ring), only usable in Dreaming even if user has Wyrd |
| Possession | 7 | 2 Willpower | Glamour vs target's Willpower, resisted by Willpower vs chimera's Glamour; 1 turn per excess success; if target's perm Banality exceeds chimera's perm Glamour, lose Glamour equal to difference; unenchanted target requires Enchantment rede |
| Riadstradh | 3 + X | 1 + Y | berserk frenzy, must declare a type of enemy that's present (e.g. "Sidhe" but not "all fae"), ignore wound penalties and +(1+X) to combat dice pools for (Stamina + 2*Y) turns, afterward take 1 level of fatigue damage (heals 1/hour) per 3 turns of frenzy (round up) |
| Scuttle | 3 | 1 per extra action | zum zum zum |
| Sense Banality | 2 | 1 Willpower | person/object/place |
| Shapeshift | 5 | 1 per change | any size/appearance, affects all senses, no damage or new abilities |
| Steal Glamour | 3 | 1 Willpower | Willpower vs target's Glamour, 1 per success |
| Transmute | 3 per type of target (e.g. wood) | 1/3/5 | higher use cost = more drastic change; works in normalspace (even without Wyrd) but only temporarily, permanently in Dreaming |
| Traverse Dreaming | 5 | 1 | from mortal world to Dreaming or vice versa, requires trod/portal |
| Venom | 3 | N | Stamina vs 8 or paralyzed N minutes and optionally N levels of chimerical damage |
| Weaponry | 2*N | none | +N damage |
| Wyrd | 5 | 1 Willpower per scene | non-chimerical interaction |
*Cannot be included in chimerical items
| Bane | Chimera Point bonus | Effect |
|---|---|---|
| Enmity | 2 | +3 diff to social rolls involving chosen target |
| Ferocious Beast | 2 | similar to Riadstradh but uncontrolled |
| Glamour Pact | 3 | forged/crafted chimera only |
| Jingle-Geasa | 3 | must sing a song clearly indicating their True Name daily |
| Riddle-Game | 2 or 4 | 2 = when asked a riddle, can do nothing else until it's solved; 4 = must ask a riddle before combat, opponent wins = must obey opponent or take 6 levels of damage, opponent loses or attacks first = can attack opponent normally |
| Token | 1 | must use a physical object or material to activate a chosen rede |
| Uncontrolled Redes | 1 + (1 per 2 redes) | more frequent in high-Glamour areas, no Glamour cost but also no control |
| Vulnerable Spot | 2 | opponent actively searching for it rolls Perception + (Melee or Brawl) vs 8, 3+ successes = attacks are +2 dice and -1 diff for next 3 rounds, 5+ successes = first of those 3 rounds is double dice and -2 diff instead |
| Warding | 1 | choose a simple ritual, charm, or token (e.g. copper nail), can't pick iron; can't cross, forced contact = 1 damage per turn |
