Blessing:
“Fairest of them All” - Can spend Glamour to
improve dice pools that include Presence, Manipulation and Persuasion. Each
point spent increases one dice pool by one point. He also suffers no untrained
penalty for using Social skills in which she has no dots.
“Narcissus’s Blessing” - Others viewing
him are subject to a subtle illusion that emphasizes those aspects of the
changeling that the subject find most appealing, sometimes going so far as to
convince the subject that small aspects of the changeling are utterly different
than they really are. (An observer who finds bright green eyes particularly
appealing may believe that a blue-eyed Romancer has emerald eyes instead.) This
manifests as a –3 to all characters’ subsequent attempts to accurately describe
her to others, including characters attempting to create police sketches. The
blessing applies to clothing as well, but a sufficiently extraordinary trinket
might grant a bonus to the roll. This is not a disguise, however, and unless
the subject’s standard of beauty has changed significantly between one meeting
of the Romancer and the next, he recognizes her without any difficulty.
Recording devices, which have no preconceived notions of beauty and no
expectations, are affected by the Wyrd’s magic as well, recording the
individual as remarkably average. The –3 penalty applies to attempts to
identify the character based on recorded footage or photographs as well.

on dice pools to avoid losing Clarity

--------
Sir Ryan doesn’t remember
much of his past before he was taken by the Gentry. Something about him struck
the fancy of a noble who decided to make him her Gawain. Armed with sword,
shield, and steed, Ryan searched the realms seeking the unknown token of his
mistress’s affection. No matter how much he searched, no matter how hard he
fought, or the scars that he returned with, he was never able to please her.
One day he realized that he
would never find what he truly sought. His mistress would have him forever
quest. He would never have the satisfaction of fulfilling his duty and pleasing
his courtly lover. This is what caused him to leave the realms of the fae and
return to Earth.
Back in the mortal realm, his
trusty mount has been replaced by a steeds of iron, steel, and fiberglass. Ryan’s
riding skills transformed as he entered the realms of the children of Adam and
he found out that he was an amazing driver. Having no money, he acts as
mechanic, stunt driver, courier, and as an occasional mercenary. Instead of
shining armor, he wears driver’s gloves and a white jacket with a scorpion
emblazoned upon it. Instead of a shining sword, he wields hammers,
screwdrivers, and the tools of a mechanic.
Old habits die hard they say,
and Ryan realized that even in this world (which was no longer his home) he
sought something out. Determined to find this and bring himself peace and
respite, Ryan still quests.
