Once during a conversation, a Pooka may roll Perception + Empathy (or Subterfuge) to get a changeling or mortal to spill her guts; the difficulty is the "victim's" Willpower. Each success allows a truthful answer to one personal question.

Pooka who acutely feel the Dreaming’s suffering know all about pain. This explains why changelings often seek pooka out when they want to spill their guts or cry on someone’s shoulder. Why do others share their innermost feelings, fears and thoughts with pooka?

Kithbook: Pooka is a kith book for Changeling: The Dreaming covering the pooka. What some people call chaos, others call variety or diversity. Pooka come in all shapes and sizes. Halfhumanoid and half-animal, they live in mortal bodies like the other kith, but can also shift into the forms of their particular animals.

Southern Cross - a group in the Kingdom of Willows that resents the presence of "Yankee" sidhe from the North. The Pooka Watchers - a group of fae scholars who study the Pooka to discern their secrets. Hearthfire Keepers - A group dedicated to protecting Balefires across the world. Epicurean Caravan - a disparate group of kithain food-truck chefs.

The other pooka went completely still, a feat in and of itself. After several moments, Buck dipped his head and asked, “What’s your condition?” in that deep, timeless voice of his. With a pat to Butterfly, Lion stood and took a regal stance. He said: “When I win this contest, you will make me the King of All Beasts.” All the pooka gasped.

Pooka are among the most charming and congenial of the Kithain. However, they're also rapscallions, scoundrels and ne'er-do-wells known for their deceitful, devious, eccentric and mischievous ways.

When you think of the pooka in all of their circumlocutory glory, do you think of fables and furries and curious mechanics for hashing out their animal forms? Or are you a Werewolf player seeking a less fraught outlet for your character’s white-hot, misanthropic, environmentalist Rage?

Changeling: The Dreaming is a tabletop role-playing game originally published by White Wolf Publishing in July 1995, and is part of the World of Darkness series. Player characters are changelings, fae souls reborn into human bodies, a practice begun by the fae to protect themselves as magic vanished from the world.
