Changeling Questions

Falar:
Hey, so over in PbP, a couple people (including myself) are starting a game where we merry-go-round GMs and all, using the Twin Cities in Minnesota as the base. We're poking through City Creation and some people are starting to throw out characters. Two people have thrown out using the Changeling template, and I wanted to make sure I'm interpreting a few things correctly.

1. As a Changeling, you only have access to powers that are included in your fae heritage. So no Unseelie Magic for Troll-born and no Inhuman Toughness for Half-Pixies.

2. Once you either have all the powers of your fae heritage or you are negative refresh, you become an NPC. So for the low, low price of five refresh as an Half-Elf, you become an NPC, but for an Ogre-born, you've got 12 to go before you hit the wall.

Is that Oll Korrect?

luminos:
That is correct from my reading of the rules.  On number 2, they can still buy mortal stunts without risking a Fae change, so the half-elf isn't goint to be stuck at the <5 range for total refresh, just for powers.

Falar:
Yup, yup, yup. And if they had another way to gain powers - say they also got bitten by a Red Court Vampire - those powers wouldn't affect the fae choice. Or if they had an Item of Power.

Thanks, Luminos!

JustinS:
You need to figure out a set of appropriate bloodline powers, they do not need to be one of the specific listed examples. So, you could be descended from a more powerful elf/pixie subtype, or gain more access by exposure to power, and growing importance (see Toot-toot for evidence the later effect applies). This may be something to look into at major milestones...

drnuncheon:
I don't believe you go NPC until you run out of refresh, even if you make your Choice.
