New World of Darkness/Headscratchers: Difference between revisions

*** What's more, it would sort of fit into the blatantly contradictory nature of the True Fae anyhow.

* In ''[[Changeling: The Lost]]'', the [[Karma Meter|Clarity Meter]] is said to measure the Changeling's ability to walk the fine line between the two worlds of Earth and Arcadia, and degeneration comes less because of any particular morals and more because of sudden reawakenings of buried mental traumas (impassioned, impulsive crimes reminding the Changeling of the cruelly mercurial Others that enslaved them, for example) or disruptions to their delicate balance between their human and fae selves. In theory, this makes sense and is all well and good; [[Werewolf: The Forsaken|Werewolves]] have similar reasons for using Harmony instead of Morality. In '''practice''', however, the Clarity meter comes off as punishing the Changeling for using their faerie side at all. At the highest levels of Clarity, the changeling is forbidden from entering the Hedge, dreamwalking, using magic items or tokens, or even choosing to attend to faerie-related matters over attending to human-related matters (for example, brushing off a date with a human girl to go and stop a hobgoblin rampaging through the streets).
