Kithbook: Nockers

Changeling: The Dreaming

by Chris Howard, Ethan Skemp

Broken Dreams... Undiscovered Treasures

Although nocker creations are highly prized among the kingdoms of the Kithain, most changelings bear little love for these dour and foul-mouthed tinkers. So brusque is nocker personality that few take the time to get to know them. Yet, those who are willing to do so discover that underneath all the hurumphing is a soul as passionate as a satyr's and a heart as stout as a troll's.
Kithbook: Nockers features

* A complete look at nockers from their ancient origins to the modern day;
* An inside look at the culture and behavior of nockers;
* New Merits and Flaws for nocker characters, as well as detailed rules for creating inanimate chimera.

This will come very handy when I play Changolin.

A fun read, but system-wise the Nockers seem to get a poor deal: the crafting system is weird, convoluted and offers little guidelines. The Nocker spirit, temperament and world view really comes across in this book, though, and those bits are well written.
