There's the Psychometry supernatural merit and I think at least one Contract has a similar effect. There's also an Embed somewhere that lets you rewind time by a scene.

I meant any way, other splat options are fine. Just don't have access to mages

I've drifted from WoD (or CoD or whatever they call it this week) because of the sheer quantity of pretentious, cliquey assholes I've met who play it.
Is there any way to address this? I have a hard time filtering them out. I don't get this problem with other RPG's.

I can't even remember the changeling focused hunter groups...
But I feel like they could cause typical trouble. Once they crack into the local area, taking out one changeling or finding a door into the hedge, it all goes downhill.
But changelings are good at scattering like roaches, and I feel like they would get back into hiding before long.
Good news is, hunters will alsontake care of some fetches and other problems for changelings. (Similar to how hunters may at times help woofs by killing pure')
Jackson Peterson
Uh... What are some examples of the behavior you hate? Just to see how best to avoid those kind of people.
Joshua Lopez
Of course, that deprives the Changelings of getting the bonus of killing their own fetch, at least in 1st ed cofd. I haven't played 2nd ed at all, did they keep that?
Blake Moore
No, we're all shitcunts
Deal with it

The only Changeling organizations are fan-made, but some if them are great.

Well, there are a lot of little things. Not all of them appear at once, but at least one of them does. I can list a few things I see a lot more of in WoD than other stuff.
Most male characters seem like they're intended to be some combination of Morpheus, Silent Bob, and Duke Nukem. Most female characters seem like they're intended to be some kind of SL+2 femme fatale, although the specifics vary. (Sometimes they're an evil manipulator bitch vampire -- sometimes they're a 2smart4u chess playing model, etc)
There's usually one player in every new group I start who makes a point to bring up how problematic everything is. There's typically another player who makes a point to argue with the first one, although sometimes I get one of these two but not their counterpart.
There's a lot more fucking going on within these games, but I've noticed that there's a toxicity to it. I've had a couple female players flirt with me while I'm ST but then treat me like trash when I'm not, so presumably they were trying to cozy up for XP.
There are people I've met playing this game who actually insist that they're vampires, and every time someone rolls up a Werewolf I seriously begin to wonder if they're a furry because I've met like three so far.
I can think of more, but a lot of the bad stereotypes about our type of gamer seem to come right to life with WoD/CoD
Ian Parker
Play CofD instead of WoD.
