Character Name: Gil Ryanson Current canon point: Changeling: The Lost New canon point: 1E to 2E Any notable changes (physical/abilities/etc?) As discussed briefly on Discord I'll be updating him from 1e to 2e of Changeling the Lost; narratively/personality wise absolutely nothing changes, it's all mechanical notes. A full sheet for his updated skills can be found here, but here's a summary of his changes from his app.
I'm sorry for how many extra skills he's getting.
SO! From the top:
Ogre Blessing/Curse Blessing and Curse have been updated, now very different functions. Blessing has new combat function (temporarily exhaust opponents will to fight), is optional on Gil's part and can be solved with one-on-one discussion.
Gristlegrinder Blessing Extra addition: Gil is now able to swallow anyone a size category smaller than him (Gil, as an adult human, is size 5). Opt-in only, will also be discussed with thread partner/s ahead of time if it looks likely, as Gil will not often use this.
Autumn Mantle Same strength and aesthetic (sound of dry leaves underfoot), but allows extra insight into True Fae or Faerie investigations; this applies to investigating other Changelings. (Can also regain Glamour by facing his fears to investigate danger, but that's mostly narrative)
Merits 2e Changelings start with 10 dots, and some old ones are phased out. All Merits are listed on the sheet above, and (apart from his Mantle) are entirely mundane. The use of Headbutt would be discussed with thread partners (but theoretically he can totally give the Cybertronians a concussion now). Furthermore he'll no longer have the Token The Truth Shall Make Ye Fret, as it's technically a merit and being replaced.
Contracts Several contracts got dummied out or edited, and 2e Changelings start with a flat 6 instead of point buying, so Gil has 6 contracts now. Witches' Intuition continues to be opt-in, others don't require permissions as the magical aspects only affect Gil; Shared Burden is a healing spell.
Hedgewall creates a hedge-maze that may cause significant environmental damage in up to a 15m radius circle (up to 4 stories high) at Gil's discretion; the actual shape can be anything he wants. This lasts until the next sundown, and may damage to anyone that tries to climb or attack it without appropriate protection. I don't know if you'll need warnings or anything if this is done in a location where it can cause structural damage to things, but I'm listing it fully for easier access for you.
Other Changeling Abilities Gil is now able to create spontaneous pledges and oaths using Wyrd now, as described by Coda during their regain. While I believe this has been discussed as an acceptable ability, I'm also formally adding that he knows how to dreamwalk now, though he is not practiced with it at all. In 2e as well, Changelings can forcibly harvest all of a target's Glamour, a process known as reaping that induces symptoms similar to lethargy, exhaustion or depression. This would be an opt-in only ability, and a rarely used one at that.
Gil will also be rather disoriented immediately following this update, and won't have immediate access to any skills that require activation, such as his Contracts and Blessings, as he adjusts to the deja vu weirdness of this update.
