Bunks NEVER EVER EVER ACTUALLY TOUCH ANOTHER PLAYER, HARM ANYONE, LIGHT ANYTHING ON FIRE, OR DESTROY ANYTHING WHILE PERFORMING A BUNK IN ANY LARP SETTING! I don’t ever even want to see a lighter fire at my game! NO STUNTS! Describe them don’t do them!! Email me and I will make a list of Bunks on your sheet, which will be numbered and you can find a random way to pick a Bunk (Dice ect.). Reusing the same bunks over and over is banal and soon the glamour just won’t respond so it is nice to add some randomness but not absolutely necessary. Bunks are performed to bring Cantrips across into the mundane world. A partial list of Bunks is available in the books Changeling: The Dreaming and the Changeling Player's Guide; however, rather than remembering specific bunks, allow the player to come up with something appropriate on the spur of the moment. Such is the capricious nature of Glamour. Childings may use a given Bunk only once per night, while Wilders must wait an hour before using the same Bunk; Grumps may employ a specific Bunk once during any single scene. Note that a Changeling may avoid having to perform a Bunk by spending an additional point of Glamour at casting time.  These bunks, either made up or taken from this list, will then be assigned a point value by the storyteller between 1 and 5. Whenever you cast a cantrip, you choose an appropriate bunk and perform it. Simple, right? They're down on your sheet so you don't have to find the storyteller every five minutes to figure out how much a bunk is worth when you do it. And now on to some rules related stuff: A one trait bunk is nearly instantaneous if done correctly, and can be performed with a normal action or cantrip in combat, or within a few seconds out of combat. A two trait bunk takes a little bit longer than a one trait, and if performed in combat the cantrip will go off at the very end of the turn after everyone else, and out of combat takes several seconds. A three trait bunk allows the cantrip to go off at the end of the second turn after the bunk was started in combat, or should take about thirty seconds out of combat. A four trait bunk allows its art to take effect at the end of the third turn after it is begun, and will take about a minute or two out of combat. A five trait bunk allows an art to take place at the beginning of the fifth turn from when it was started, and takes three minutes or more out of combat. Remember, this uses common sense and is included for fair play, is not a substitute for actually performing the bunk if it's feasible, and is a house rule. Banal bunks occur when the same bunk is used more than once a day for the same cantrip. Each time you use the same bunk for the same cantrip in one game session, its value is reduced by one for the next use. Thus a four trait bunk is only good four times for one cantrip, and reduces in value each time. As always, if the bunk would be dangerous or improbable to do for real the amount of time that the bunk would take can be spent simply describing what you're doing (test and use item cards as appropriate). However, it is generally best for the mood to use bunks that you can actually do in game. Chicanery Chicanery bunks require verbal tricks and spoken words. These can be silly for prank cantrips, poetry or music for common cantrips, or deadly serious mind games for the darker uses of this art. One Trait- A single word: Say a word backwards three times, swear loudly, make a strange sound related to your realm, tell a fib. Read bad poetry, one full poem (must be a different poem each time the Bunk comes up). Sing a song backward, one verse (must be a different song each time the Bunk comes up). Say a silly word over and over, at least 10 times (must be a different word each time the Bunk comes up). Two Traits- A short phrase: Tell a clever lie, insult your subject, shout out your true feelings about something, give a particularly appropriate catchphrase from a piece of literature or film. Whistle tunelessly. State aloud someone's (not your own) correct name, social security number, and home address three times very quickly (must be a different person each time the Bunk comes up). Make a sound like a cow. Quote a monologue (must be different each time the Bunk comes up). Three Traits- A full sentence: Sing part of a song, give a longer quote from a novel or film, offer your subject a toast, speak a short stanza about your subject's misfortune.

This can be anything from setting your watch to go off when you want to cast the cantrip to ripping open a clock face to reset the hands, or simply charting the pace of the sun in the sky. No more examples are given, as this is an uncommon art. Dream-Craft This art uses bunks that usually involve the creation of a model or drawing of the subject, the more detailed the better. As Chronos, this is uncommon so is not given examples. Legerdemain  Bunks for this art involve unnecessary movement, most commonly of the arms or head. One Trait- A subtle motion: Curtsy or bow, pull your earlobe multiple times, cross your eyes, crush someone with your hand or hold your fingers in front of you and "squish" their head, give someone the finger.  Wiggle your fingers and stick out your tongue at the target.
