Changeling: the Dreaming

The following section contains additional guidelines for using Bunks in your Changeling game, as
well as a listing of new Bunks specifically designed for each kith. These additional rules are
provided to help clarify the rules provided in the Changeling rulebook, as well as to offer some
alternative methods for using the Bunk system. This booklet is divided into two sections, either
or both of which can be used by players and Storytellers alike. Players should consult their
Storyteller before using any of these additional rules or Bunks. Each Storyteller has his own style
and some of the material provided here may be inappropriate for some chronicles.
Rules Clarification: This section provides clarifications of the Bunk rules as presented in the
Changeling rulebook.
Kith-Specific Bunks: The bulk of the booklet is dedicated to providing specific Bunks for each
kith. It is not required that a character take any of these Bunks; they are simply provided as
examples of appropriate Bunks which each kith uses in conjunction with each Art. Additionally,
characters of different kith may choose to take a Bunk from another kith, with their Storytellers
approval, of course. Such mix-and-matching should be examined closely for consistency with the
character. Simply taking another kith's Bunk because it seems easier is not acceptable.

Bunk Rules Clarifications

Choosing YOUR bunks
Most of the confusion over Bunk cards lies in exactly how the specific Bunks may be chosen by a
character. This is actually very easy (if not very clear in the core rulebook). One Bunk is selected
for each level of an Art a character possesses. Thus, a character with Soothsay 3 must choose
one level one Soothsay Bunk, one level two Soothsay Bunk and one level three Soothsay Bunk.
Each Bunk chosen must be different a character can never have more than one of the same
Bunk in his deck at any time.
In the basic rulebook each level of a Bunk may have varying degrees of successes. This has been
eliminated in this sourcebook, in which each Bunk is worth a number of successes equal to its
level, no more no less. You may choose to keep the Bunks listed in the rulebook as they are or
modify them to fit this new system.

Refreshing Your Deck

Refreshing your deck allows you to restore all of your Bunks to your hand. Any time a character
would be allowed to refresh her deck she may choose to change the Bunks in her deck. In fact it
is highly suggested that a character do so, as this helps to represent the random and chaotic
nature of Glamour. Any number of Bunks may be exchanged at this time, from one, to all of
them.

Alternatives
Alte natives
Some Storytellers may wish to incorporate rules to encourage players to alter their Bunk decks.
This could be anything from rewarding the character with a point of temporary Glamour for
taking new cards to punishing the character with a temporary point of Banality for each card
that remains the same. Ultimately this is the choice of the Storyteller, and she may choose
whatever works best for her chronicle.
