  • Armor — The chimera has extra protection for its physical form. This protection can take many forms, including chitinous exoskeletons, tough skin, thick fur, dragon scales, and metal plating.

    Use Cost: None
  • Flight — The chimera can fly at a rate of 25 feet per turn per point of Dexterity. Changelings seek out chimera with this Rede as mounts and for crafting components for brooms, magic carpets, zeppelins, and other forms of aerial transportation.

    Use Cost: 1 per hour of flight
    Use Cost: 2
  • Healing — The chimera may heal its own wounds, or those of another. It may even heal non-chimerical injuries, if it also has the Wyrd Rede. 

    Use Cost: 1 per Health Level healed
  • Possession — The chimera can possess another sentient creature of the Dreaming with this Rede. The chimera must touch the target. The Storyteller makes a Glamour roll (difficulty of the target’s Willpower), resisted by the victim’s player rolling Willpower (difficulty of the chimera’s Glamour).

    Use Cost: None
  • Weaponry — The chimera manifests a physical, melee, or ranged weapon from its body. Common examples are swords, claws, horns, and spears. The manifested weapon inflicts the chimera’s Strength + 1 in base damage, but may cause more if the chimera has a more powerful version of the Rede.

    Use Cost: None

Note: The dream of hope can inhabit the body of a changeling, bolstering them and granting them its bonuses and abilities. This can burn out a changeling, however, similar to a Dreamer experiencing the Rhapsody, the Path of Destruction.
