You can also look through the old Changeling: The Dreaming for a different take on the same concept.

...Right, just went looking for that. In the meantime, I can't believe it took me so many iterations to remember iron was a thing... :'(

Edits this morning...


  • Wicked Masque now allows the Youma to speak to Spirits. Rather than grant a faux Amorphous trait, it also restricts the Youma's Social tests.
  • Blue and Orange Morality provides a unique block against a method of removal. The stronger the Youma's Heart Grace is, the more resilient her will.
  • Iron Bane is (for now) a thing on its own. Right now it's just a functional repaint of the Werewolf's Silver Bane with a different trigger (remember: steel is not iron), but this can be expanded on; the Raksha, for instance, would see effects of their charms dissolve on contact with iron.


Illusion and Enchantment spells are hallmarks of the Fae, so I might make the Heart Grace 1 power some flavor of free buy-in for those. As for other powers... I'm thinking of Nyarlathotep? Something about being able to poach feats from other races (One Thousand Hateful Masques)?

One Thousand Masques to Hide My Scorn has been added at Heart Grace 3. While it certainly feels appropriate, I'm fairly certain it'll be a bit complicated in practice... :(

Wow, that's pretty cool, though I'm worried about balance. If you die, does only that specific Masque die, or all of you?

...I'm going to say that breaking one facet shatters the gem. If one Masque dies, all of them do.

EDIT: Fixed.

Alternatively, you can say that losing one Masque bumps you down a level of Heart Grace. That means you have 3 lives at HG 5. It would make a nice Asset.

Four lives, technically. Remember we do have one Masque to start with. :P

But I don't think I'll do that, because that'd just further bloat that feature with rules text...

True enough.

You know, it would really be easier to call this Exalt Raksha. Youma kinda comes from left field in my opinion.

Well, to be fair, "youma" doesn't exactly fit any of the things it's been used for so far... in fact, any of the various beast-folk we have could accurately be called "youma," but not the things we've actually called that!

That said, still shopping around. "Raksha" might be a bit on-the-nose, given how much of the structure came from them...
