Insert joke about how LA instead has the Courts of Mud, Smog, Rain, and Fire.Īdditional big things beyond the 1e to 2e rules changes to the base system, and existing systems that were just updated (such as hedgespinning and oneiromancy): The Courts are still in place, but may have different names based on how the Freeholds views the world. stat bonuses if used by anyone however, Elementals using it gain a +1 to close combat attacks, whereas Ogres using it can apply the Knock Down Tilt on attacks. What was Red Rage of Terrible Revenge still grants Armor, Initiative, Speed, and Phys. Also, in addition to the Catch, Contracts now offer additional benefits if used by certain Seemings.

This means Contracts that were previously scattered among tress (like Mirror Walk, Chrysalis, and Leaping Towards Nightfall) are now bundled under the same tree. Rather, they are bundled based on the "Regalia" associated with each Seeming - Crown for Fairest, Jewels for Wizened, Mirror for Darkling, Shield for Ogre, Steed for Beast, Sword for Elemental. Standard Contracts, or "Arcadian Contracts," are not 1-5 anymore, and the old categories are gone. Correspondingly, Kiths are now open across all Seemings, so that you could make an Ogre Hunterheart or a Fairest Snowskin. Seemings are now less "what was done to you in Arcadia" and more "how you escaped Arcadia." Beasts escaped by trusting their instincts, Darklings escaped by being sneaky, Fairest escaped by taking control, etc.
