However, the page before says "often becoming an NPC as his power costs rise to exceed his refresh", which suggests that the usual rules for crossing the line into NPCdom apply.
I'm also not entirely convinced that no fey have free will. The Wyldfae seem to have some element of it, in that they can choose between Summer and Winter, and Harry scrupulously avoided using compulsions on Toot (Morgan tried to come down on him about it - sure, he was looking for any excuse, but he seemed to think he might have had a case).

As Luminous said: YS75 "If taking on another ability reduces your character's refresh to zero or otherwise fulfills all the "musts" of a faerie of the appropriate type, the changeling's Chice is made and he becomes a full faerie, never mortal again, and now fully subject to the will of the Faerie Courts."
The underlined portion means "If you now have all the powers of your fae parent, you are now fully fae (an NPC)."
Falar:
Heh. You beat me to the punch. I was about to copy out the same thing that you copied out in reply to what the good Doctor was saying.
I think another thing to play up is how non-human you would look by the time you took the last power. Once you take that five points, you look exactly like an elf. You are three feet tall, have pointed ears, delicate features and are more slender than is humanly possibly. You also have practically an unearthly aura around you.

Fully fae, sure. It's the implication that makes you an NPC that I disagree with.
Falar:
Fully fae means you don't have free will. You are bound to your nature. If they meant for there to be an option to be fully fae and be a PC, then there would be a Fae template.

This is flawed logic. Fred has said several times (and I think there's even a line in the book about it) that Templates are not the end all be all of character creation. They are ways to create characters that we have seen, but if you have an idea, run with it. Work with your GM and fellow players, and if it makes sense, don't worry about whether there's a template already out for it.
