General WoD Discussion #2: Its time to Celebrate!

[Kesnit]

So, I'm reading through various bits of Changeling, and a question has occurred to me. When a group of changelings are sharing a Hollow, how do they pay for the merit? If each wants to contribute 2 dots, does it cost each of them 6 XP for the two dots, or does it cost more depending on how they split the dots up?

You pay for the dots you bought. So if 4 people put in 1 dot, it is 2 XP each and the Hollow is a 4-dot Merit. If one decides to later put in a second, that player will pay another 4 XP (since this is their second dot in that Merit). However, everyone would have access to a 5-dot Hollow.
