Pursuant to Coordinator Bylaw §3.C.iii.1.a, I, Ashton Bush, as Changeling Coordinator Coordinator, propose the following addition to Character Bylaw 10.h.ii.

Addition to Character Bylaw 10.h.ii:

Merits, Flaws, and Backgrounds

Genre-specific Changeling Backgrounds on non-Changeling/Kinain PCs - PC: Coordinator Approval - NPC: Coordinator Approval - Coordinator: Changeling
This includes but is not limited to Bardic Gifts, Chimera, Chimerical Companions, Dreamers, Dross, Fae Songs, Holdings, Remembrance, Retinue, Title, Treasure.
If another genre has a published background of the same name, this does not restrict characters of that Genre from buying their own version of the background.

Genre-specific Changeling genre Merits/Flaws on non-Changeling/Kinain PCs - PC: Coordinator Approval - NPC: Coordinator Approval - Coordinator: Changeling

This includes but is not limited to Blessing of Atlas, Chimerical Magnet, Faerie Eternity, Iron Allergy, Geas, Gut Instincts, Living Legend, Regeneration, Slipped Seeming.
If another genre has a published merit/flaw of the same name, this does not restrict characters of that Genre from taking their own version of the merit/flaw.

This proposal has the potential to autopass.

This proposal is being proposed with no legacy.

Rationale: Regulation-wise, probably the most frequent thing players ask me for is to bring Changeling-specific items under regulation as the Mage items are. While I considered listing out every single Changeling-only merit/flaw/background in every book, I think this wording is better to include any future printings or things I undoubtedly would have missed.
