Frequently Asked Questions
Are Changelings affected by Revelation? Or are Fallen affected by the Mists?
Changelings, because of their supernatural nature, are inherently immune to the effects of Revelation and likewise, because of their inherently spiritual nature, Fallen are immune to the Mists.
Is there any way Fallen and Changelings detect each other?
Despite their similar natures, Fallen and Changelings cannot recognise one another on sight without the use of Lores or Arts.
Devils can sense them as something exceptionally powerful by use of the Lamp of Faith evocation from the Lore of the Celestials. Changelings have an apparently high Faith potential (how high depends on the actual amount of Glamour they possess). Changelings who was devoid of Glamour have apparently no more or less Faith potential than the average mortal.
Changelings also have various ways of discerning what Fallen are…
Soothsay 1 (Omen) can be used to gain clues about the demon’s nature, in addition to hints about their House, their Faction affiliation and other general information.
Spirit Link 1 (World Sight) reveals the Fallen for what they really are. In short, it reveals them in the full glory of their Apocalyptic Form. What this means to Changelings differs from individual to individual. Some might see them as the Fomorians, monstrous creatures of nightmare thought locked away in the Deep Dreaming since ancient times, whilst others might just think of them as some new Kith of Fae or maybe even a type of Chimera that has possessed a human host similar to the Fae who chose the Changeling Way.
Having said this, though, Changelings with a strong Keening talent can help them sense the presence of demons. Fallen possess a resonance of dark Glamour that bring feelings of dread and revulsion to the Fae. These unpleasant feelings gets worse the higher the Fallen's Torment is.
And likewise, if a Changeling works a cantrip, uses a supernatural birthright or reaps Glamour, the Fallen has a chance of detecting their supernatural nature by the innate power of Supernatural Awareness.
Can Fallen create Pacts or Reap Faith off Changelings? Or can Changelings Enchant Fallen or gain Glamour from them?
Because of their inherently similar nature, Fallen cannot create Pacts with Changelings. Having said this, they find it no less or more difficult to Reap Faith from them.
Likewise, Changelings find it impossible to Enchant demons but they can still skim Glamour off them at an increased difficulty.
Can Fallen consume faerie souls? Or can Changelings consume demonic souls?
If a Fallen kills a Changeling's mortal host, they have the opportunity to consume their Faerie Soul if they act quick enough to increase their power. However, if the Faerie Soul consumed was in Bedlam, the Fallen automatically incurs the Derangement the Changeling was experiencing at the time.
Likewise, if a lucky Redcap or some kind of dangerous chimera is able to kill a Fallen's mortal host they have the opportunity to consume the demonic soul. However, doing so is risky venture. Changelings simply aren't fit to be subjected to the near infinite knowledge and history contained within the vast memory of a former celestial being.
If a Redcap is able to consume a Fallen's soul, they automatically incur a Derangement that relates to their Court and the level of Torment the demon possesses.
What effects do Arts/cantrips typically have on Fallen?
Due to their innate immunity to possession, mind control and illusions all Fallen are unaffected by the following Arts/cantrips; Aphrodisia, Autumn Way Level Five, Chicanery, Chronos Level One to Three, Contempt, Delusion Level Two to Five, Discord Level One, Dreamcraft Level Four, Sovereign Level One to Three and Level Five, and Talecraft Level Three.
The only exception to this rule is when the demon in question is low on/devoid of on Faith.</li>
