The Renown Guide

This is a guide for the Renown System. The Renown System is a measure of how well-known your PC is. It doesn't function as a system of morality, with positive and negative renown. There is only positive renown. A mass murderer might be as renowned as a philanthropist.

Renown Points

Renown Points are a broad measure of your character's personal renown. Please note that your character can still be percieved as famous or infamous; however, that nuance is up to the individual who is reacting to your PC. For example, someone who is well-known as an avid follower of certain Immortals will be positively received by some people and negatively recieved by others. Renown is a measurement of how well-known you are, not how people react to you.

Starting Renown

All PCs start on *zero* (0) renown, but may be rewarded up to 30 Renown Points as CS (Character Sheet) rewards. This will be rewarded based on the PC's pre-creation history. This is the history included in their CS upon start.

Renown Point Rewards

Renown Points are awarded by Peer Reviewers as part of the review process. Points can also be awarded by prophets for world-wide events and modded threads or stories which are reviewed by them. All earned points should be recorded on your Character Sheet, and displayed under your profile (to the right of the screen on the forums). To display your Renown Points in your profile, go to UCP (User Control Panel), then Profile, and then choose the appropriate number of renown. Make sure to click Submit after you make changes to your renown.

Awarding Renown: A Guide for Peer Reviewers!

Awarding Renown is a fairly straightforward task. In order to decide how much renown a PC should get for a specific thread, ask yourself the question, “What level of impact will this thread have on how well-known the PC is?” The answer to that question is the amount of renown you reward.

No Impact: 0 Renown Points (It is perfectly ok to give 0 Renown Points, even if the PC has requested renown.)
Slight: 5 Renown Points
Small: 10 Renwon Points
Medium: 15 Renown Points
Large: 20 Renown Points
Enormous: 25 Renown Points

Examples

Here are some examples of the kinds of things which might cause you to give Slight, Small, Medium, Large, or Enormous renown rewards.

Slight: A minor good or bad deed, starting a new job, enrolling for a qualification, meeting someone famous.

Small: Hosting a public event, winning a small tournament, stopping or taking part in a minor crime.

Medium: Getting involved in local government, taking notable part in a battle, gaining a qualification, making a major discovery in any field.

Large: A major good or bad deed, stopping or taking part in a major crime, getting involved in national government or international politics, making a major change to a region's legal practices, winning a major tournament.

Enormous: Taking part in a Global Plot, doing something previously considered impossible, becoming the Champion of an Immortal. Enormous renown rewards are only available via modded threads.

Please note that these are only some examples of deeds which might earn renown. Peer Reviewers should use their discretion to award how many Renown Points seem reasonable per thread. If in doubt, ask a Prophet.

Also, please take into account the current level of renown for PC. If, for example, a PC has 740 Renown and is very well-known as a criminal mastermind, swiping an apple off a market stall probably will not affect their renown.

The rewards achieved are detailed below. All rewards must be recorded in your CS.

Small Rewards

Upon achieving a Small Reward, players may choose 1 from the following list:

A 1 WP gift / donation to your PC.

50 Point Bank Points.

A one-off discount of 50% from any one purchase of a single item from the. This is a one time deal. This can only apply to bulk items if they're for a PC Business or if they're building materials. If you're unsure of whether the purchase qualifies for the discount, ask a staff member and they'll clear it up. When taking your 50% discount, please round *up*.

So, if you're purchasing an item worth 17wp:
17wp x 0.5 = 8.5wp rounded up to 9wp.

Upon achieving a Medium Reward, players may choose 1 from the following list (Please note that bonuses are cumulative):

+3 to any relevant skill. This must be agreed either with your local prophet or via the PSF and must be in your Prophet Notes. This is 3 / 100 (not 3xp) and may take the skill over the 250xp cap. This does not apply to Domain Magic.

From any one section in the Shoppe, you may purchase items and/or services as if you were 1 Tier above your own Wealth Tier. (You may choose this option for a Medium Reward up to five times.)

+1 WP to your Seasonal Wage from now on.

Large Rewards

Upon achieving a Large Reward, players may choose 1 from the following list. You must then write a thread (collaboration or solo) wherein your PC acquires the Large Reward IRP (in roleplay). This thread must be signed off in review by a prophet and the reward is not in effect until this happens.
