''Sources:'' W20 Core, pg 288-303
<tab name="Info">


==Initiative==
<center><font size=10>'''Welcome to the Renown page!'''</font></center>


Use '''+help +combat''' for commands to start/view/add/remove from the Initiative list
=Renown House Rules=
===Helpful Commands===
+renown: Show current renown.<br>
+renown/log: Show a log of renown awards (default last 30 days).<br>
+renown/log <days>: Show renown going back some number of days.


* Certain gifts such as Spirit of the Frey give bonuses to Initiative, these should be automatically added by the code, or added by the ST of the scene.
===Basic House Rules===
* Pack initiative (''W20 Core, pg 267'') If shifters are in a pack and bound together by a single totem, and if all players agree, the pack may share a single initiative roll as well, using the Pack Leader's initiative roll.
*Renown in W20 Core and W20 Changing Breeds is modified for MUSH play.<br>
The book is written for table-top play. MUSH players are daily contributors.<br>
With 24 hour play available, it's easier to accrue Renown.<br>
Therefore, we've removed the book-written renown totals, otherwise people will be ranking up too fast without the xp and stats to match.
*Renown is modified based on Rank Level and story value.
*The Spirits (aka Staff) are the ultimate judges for Renown based on deeds.
*Shifter Litanies and Creeds are weighed for rewards vs loss.


===Declare Actions===
===Monthly Awards===
Lowest Initiative declares their action first, moving up to highest Initiative.<br>
*Monthly participation in a ST event/story is required to earn monthly Sept duties & responsibilities rewards, but you're responsible for putting the requests in yourself.
Highest Initiative acts first, moving down to lowest.
**+0.2 Honor (awarded if criteria is met).
*These awards are open to Fera and Garou alike.
*If you forget to request something right away, that's okay, but we'll only back-date renown by 30 days.


* Rage spends and actions must be declared at the beginning of your turn (Ex: "I'm going to spend 2 Rage to X, then Y, then Z.")
===Mystic/Crafting===
* Rage actions will be handled in order after the first "normal" round of actions. Ex: Normal round, Rage round 1, Rage round 2, etc.
*You may earn Wisdom for teaching and learning rituals.
**+0.1 Wisdom per ritual taught (max 0.2 per month for teaching)
**+0.1 Wisdom per ritual learned (max 0.2 per month for learning)
*You may earn +0.1 Wisdom for crafting Talens and Fetishes.
**+0.1 Wisdom per batch of Talens made (max +0.2 per month for Talen crafting)
**+0.1 Wisdom per Fetish made (max +0.2 per month for Fetish crafting)
*These awards are open to Fera and Garou alike.


===Changing Actions===
===Ranking requirements===
''W20 Core, pg 293''
*Aside from renown point requirements for a new rank, staff has further stat and activity requirements for rank.
* In drastic circumstances Declared Actions can be changed, adding a +1 difficulty to the new Action.  (If a grenade is tossed at a character's feet, a packmate is in mortal danger, etc.)
**Gaining rank isn't meant to be solely a means for more power and authority, it's a symbol of leadership and active duty to Gaia/Sea/Ananasa/etc.


===Holding Actions===
</tab>
An action may be held until a place lower in the Initiative, to better coordinate a special maneuver with a packmate, to let someone else get ahead of your character, to foil an opponent's action strategically, etc.
<tab name="Garou Renown">


==Spending Points==
=Garou Renown=
Whether it's Willpower, Rage, or Gnosis for gift activation, extra turns, etc., wait until your ST tells you to spend the resource ''on your turn'', for the sake of the scene log having your spends close to your OOC questions and rolls.
*These are samples and suggestions, not a fixed list of exact deeds and awards. Staff will use this as a guide and adjust accordingly to match the involvement of plots at hand and keep the game as balanced as possible.  


*You can not spend Rage and Gnosis in the same round, except with the Gift: Chaos Mechanics. Spending one means you can not spend the other.
==Combat and Encounters==
* Willpower for an automatic success on a roll must be declared before the roll is made.
{| class="wikitable" width="100%"
* Willpower can not be used for an automatic success on Damage or Soak rolls.

==Types of Immobilization==
</tab>
''W20 Core, pg 292''
<tab name="Kinfolk Renown">


* '''Blinding:''' Characters blinded by injury or darkness cannot dodge, block, or parry incoming attacks. All other actions add +2 to their difficulties. At ST discretion, a Shifter can take an action to sense her surroundings to try and reduce the penalty, or use a Gift to compensate for blindness.
=Kinfolk Renown=
* '''Knockdown:''' A character knocked off their feet must take an Action to scramble back up. If they can not do so, they may be considered to be partially immobilized.
*These are samples and suggestions, not a fixed list of exact deeds and awards. Staff will use this as a guide and adjust accordingly to match the involvement of plots at hand and keep the game as balanced as possible.  
* '''Immobilization:''' If held down, paralyzed, or otherwise rendered unable to move more than a little bit, any attacks made against them are made at -2 diff. If the target can not move at all, attacks may hit automatically.
*Kinfolk earn 1/4 renown (ex. 0.25 Glory vs a Garou's 1 Glory)
* '''Stunning:''' If, after soak, a character takes health level damage that equals or exceeds their Stamina rating, they are stunned until the end of the following turn. Stunned characters cant do anything except stumble around in a daze. Attacks against a stunned character are made at -2 difficulty.
*Kinfolk renown is recorded on a +note by Staff, rather than added to one's sheet due to code issues. ''+note me/renown''
*Kinfolk have the option to join packs once they have 5 permanent renown (if the pack has room)

===Range===
</tab>
''W20 Core, pg 294''
<tab name="Rank Charts">
* Point blank range: Diff 4, 2 yards or less
* Medium range: Diff 6, the range listed on your +equip weapon item
* Long range: Diff 8, up to twice the listed range. Diff might be higher at ST discretion.


===Aiming===
=Rank Charts and Requirements=
''W20 Core, pg 293''
===How to gain Rank===
* Requires at least 1 dot in Firearms for guns or Archery for bows
*Be a part of plots and stories, and do things that relate to entries on your appropriate charts below.<br>
* Every Turn spent aiming adds +1 dice to the next attack, a max of character's Perception
**'''Storytellers:''' Make sure you submit a renown request for your players when your plot/scene is finished.<br>
* Scopes add a further +2 dice
*If you think you did something worth renown while you're existing on the grid, put in a +request for it.<br>
* These do stack
**'''Players:''' You're responsible for requesting your personal non-plot gained renown (such as monthly chores, pack related things, public relations, etc)<br>
* Bonuses apply to a single shot, and the character must aim again to get the full bonus and effect
*When you have the required amount of renown for your new rank, +request your readiness for a challenge.<br>


===Called Shots===
*'''Gaining Rank 2:''' Doing a rank-up challenge story is optional. If you don't want to do one, you can just do the +request paperwork to set your rank and be done.<br>
''W20 Core, pg 295''
*'''Gaining Rank 3 or higher:''' Requires a rank-up challenge story, and meeting standards on your +sheet relevant to your Auspice/Aspect/etc. The higher the rank you're going for, the more chance of failure because the challenges are more difficult.<br>
* Called Shots are made at +2 difficulty.  
*'''If you fail a challenge:''' It's no big deal, challenge again. A failure is not a reflection on either the player or the character, sometimes it's bad luck and sometimes it's a cue that things were missed. You still get an amazing story out of it, things to talk about, things to learn and try. So don't worry, don't get mad, even the W20 books say outright that these challenges are meant to be difficult and a lot of people do not succeed the first time.


===Automatic Gunfire===
----
''W20 Core, pg 294''
* Uses a minimum of 1/2 a clip of ammo
* Automatic gunfire adds +10 Dice to the attack roll at +2 Diff
* Can spray an area, evenly distributing successes between targets; If less successes are scored than there are targets, ST decides who has been hit or missed


===3 Round Burst===

* Rage healing: Once per scene, a critically injured shifter (reaching Incapacitated through Aggravated damage) may remain active by rolling Rage vs 8. Each success heals 1 level of any kind of damage. No matter how much damage is healed, the character enters a Berserk Frenzy.
* A shifter that successfully remains active through Rage healing gains a Battle Scar (''W20 Core, pg 259'')
 
==Kinfolk Injury==
''W20 Core, pg 256''
* Kinfolk can only soak Bashing damage.
* Kitsune heal as Humans
* Ananasi do not regenerate without spending Blood Points. 1 blood point to heal 1 Bashing/Lethal, a full day of rest and 5 blood points to heal 1 Aggravated, otherwise heal as humans.
 
===Bashing Damage===
* Humans only require medical treatment when Mauled or worse.
* Bashing damage past Wounded can have consequences such as degraded vision/hearing from a concussion, excruciating pain from broken ribs or internal bruising, etc. Medical care can negate these effects and is necessary for a human to make a full recovery.

===Lethal Damage===
Cull the fallen.<br>
* Any Lethal wound worse than Injured requires medical attention before it will heal.
Let no shade accuse you.<br>
* If left untreated, the human suffers another level of Lethal damage each day as the wound re-opens or becomes infected.
Guard the Wallow.<br>
* Mauled from Lethal damage requires rest and recovery after medical attention.
The Veil must not be lifted.<br>
* Crippled or Incapacitated from Lethal damage requires constant medical attention for the time listed below for any healing to take place.
Test the Clutch.<br>
* A human who reaches Incapacitated through Lethal damage is at death's door, one more lethal level of any sort and they will die.
All are of Gaia.<br>
 
Remember.

* Healing is handled one level at a time, starting with the most severe.
** Ex: A human that has reached Injured from Lethal damage must rest for 1 week to heal the Injured level, then 3 days to heal the Hurt level, and 1 additional day to heal the Bruised level.
* Aggravated damage heals the same as Lethal for humans. The only difference is that Aggravated damage is harder to heal through supernatural means.
==Sources of Injury==
''W20 Core, pg 257''
*'''Disease:''' Diseases inflict a number of health levels of damage to a patient, either Bashing or Lethal depending on the severity of the disease. With rest and care, the disease runs its course and the health levels return.
**Shifters aren't immune to most diseases, but they recover faster. Their healing abilities protect them from relatively minor ailments like the common cold and flu (diseases that normally inflict Bashing damage). Even truly debilitating autoimmune diseases cant inflict lasting harm, though the shifter can still serve as a carrier. For a shifter to notice a disease, it would have to be supernatural in origin, and thus deal Aggravated damage.
*'''Falling:''' 1 die of Bashing for every 10 feet/3 meters of falling, changed to Lethal if the surface landed on has sharp objects.
**Terminal Velocity: Falls more than 100 feet/30 meters deal 10 dice of Lethal damage. Armor only provides one half its normal protection.
*'''Fire:''' Damage from fire is always Aggravated and ignores Armor. Shifters can soak fire damage as normal, with a varying difficulty based on the heat of the blaze. Fire deals specific health levels of damage, not damage dice. Fire damage is automatically successful unless soaked - a character takes two health levels of Aggravated damage per turn if trapped in a bonfire, not two dice of damage per turn.
**Appearance: If a character falls to Maimed, they suffer temporary scarring from the flames, and their Appearance is reduced by 1 until they recover to at least Bruised. If the character is reduced to Crippled or Incapacitated by fire, the burns cover the majority of their body, reducing Appearance by 2. Scarring may be permenant if the character is Incapacitated and gains a Battle Scar by remaining active (via Rage Healing).

*'''Poison and Drugs:''' Few poisons or drugs have a noticable effect on Shifters. Shifters that wish to become intoxicated must do so in their breed form, where their regenerative system is less effective, or awaken the spirit of the drug using the Rite of Spirit Awakening, which increases the substance's potency. The following list examples of effects on Shifters either in their breed form or once the substance has been Awakened. it's very difficult for a Shifter to become physically addicted to any substance due to their healing gifts, but it's still possible in extreme circumstances.

**'''Alcohol:''' -1 to Dexterity and Intelligence die pools for every two drinks worth of alcohol. Reduce the penalty by 1 for every hour that passes after they stop drinking.

|-
**'''Cocaine/Meth:''' Immediately gain 1 point of temporary Rage. For the rest of the scene, the character only needs 3 successes on a Rage roll to Frenzy.
|1 (Rakka)
 
|3
**'''Hallucinogens:''' All die pools are reduced by 1 to 3 dice as the character is unable to concentrate. World perception is altered and their reactions will depend on what they believe to be happening. A character that takes hallucinogens before meditating regains Gnosis at 2 points per hour instead of 1. Lasts for (8 minus Stamina) hours.
|-
 
|2 (Voto)
**'''Heroin/Morphine/Barbiturates:''' -2 to Dexterity and all Ability pools for (10 minus Stamina) minutes. The character experiences a dreamlike state for (12 minus Stamina) hours, during which time difficulties of Rage rolls are increased by 1.
|7
 
|-
**'''Marijuana:''' -1 from Perception based pools and increase the difficulties of all Rage rolls. Effects last for about a half an hour.
|3 (Tava)
 
|15
**'''Weak Poison:''' Character takes between 1 and 3 health levels of Lethal damage per scene. Poisons have a maximum amount of damage that they can apply, usually between 5 and 10 levels of damage. If the character doesn't regenerate this damage (due to being in breed form, or being human) subtract 1 from all die pools until the damage is healed. Shifters in a regenerating form burns through the poison's effects in seconds and suffers no ill effects.
|-
 
|4 (Teppen)
**'''Strong Poison:''' Character takes between 1 and 3 health levels of Lethal damage per scene. Poisons have a maximum amount of damage that they can apply, usually between 5 and 10 levels of damage. A Shifter can regenerate this damage normally, but until the poison has run its course and all the damage has been healed, subtract 1 from all die pools. The only toxins to have a significant effect on Shifters are supernaturally enhanced and thus deal Aggravated damage that may be regenerated.
|23
 
|-
*'''Radiation and Toxic Waste:''' Many Wyrm locations on Earth are located on or near irradiated landscapes and toxic waste dumps. Also, some minions of the Wyrm use radiation based attacks. Damage from these sources is resolved the same as damage from Fire, but takes twice as long to heal.
|5 (Rrrrr't)
 
|30
*'''Silver/Gold:''' Not everything called "silver" or "gold" contains enough of the element to actually harm a Shifter weak to those metals. "Sterling silver" (over 90% silver) is certainly pure enough to be spiritually active, "Jewelry Silver" (80% pure) might be enough at ST discretion. Argentite and Horn Silver are compounds and not spiritually pure enough to cause harm, nor are compounds with "silver" in the name, including silver nitrate, silver chloride, or silver iodide. Some items can be plated with silver to cause damage, but the plating is ruined after a couple of blows and the Aggravated damage bonus is lost.
|-
**For every five silver objects a '''PACK''' carries, '''ALL''' its members suffer the following Gnosis penaltiesm which persist in all forms, including breed forms. In addition, carrying too many silver objects, especially bullets, may cause a loss of Honor or Wisdom for the entire pack.

*'''Suffocation and Drowning:''' A character can hold their breath for a maximum amount of time based on their Stamina. Changing forms WHILE immersed in a non-breathable medium does not change this time period; lung capacity may increase, but the amount of air currently in those lungs does not. During strenuous activity like combat, the character can hold their breath for a number of ''turns'' equal to twice their Stamina rating. Willpower spent on holding one's breath adds another 30 seconds of life. Willpower spent during combat or strenuous activity gives another ''turn'' of activity.

Once a character has run out of breath, they begin to drown/suffocate and take 1 health level of Lethal damage each turn. This damage cannot be regenerated until the shifter can breathe again. If the character reaches Incapacitated, they revert to their breed form and will die in a number of turns equal to their Stamina.


*'''Temperature Extremes:''' Extreme heat (above 200°F or 100°C) causes damage in much the same way as Fire. At -40 and below, subtract 1 from all Dexterity die pools due to frostbite. For every 10°F (6°C) lower, subtract another die.
*Rank 1 Rokea begin with 2 dots in a set category, and 1 dot to place in either of the other two categories.

Welcome to the Renown page!

Renown House Rules

Helpful Commands

+renown: Show current renown.
+renown/log: Show a log of renown awards (default last 30 days).
+renown/log <days>: Show renown going back some number of days.

Basic House Rules

  • Renown in W20 Core and W20 Changing Breeds is modified for MUSH play.

The book is written for table-top play. MUSH players are daily contributors.
With 24 hour play available, it's easier to accrue Renown.
Therefore, we've removed the book-written renown totals, otherwise people will be ranking up too fast without the xp and stats to match.

  • Renown is modified based on Rank Level and story value.
  • The Spirits (aka Staff) are the ultimate judges for Renown based on deeds.
  • Shifter Litanies and Creeds are weighed for rewards vs loss.

Monthly Awards

  • Monthly participation in a ST event/story is required to earn monthly Sept duties & responsibilities rewards, but you're responsible for putting the requests in yourself.
    • +0.2 Honor (awarded if criteria is met).
  • These awards are open to Fera and Garou alike.
  • If you forget to request something right away, that's okay, but we'll only back-date renown by 30 days.

Mystic/Crafting

  • You may earn Wisdom for teaching and learning rituals.
    • +0.1 Wisdom per ritual taught (max 0.2 per month for teaching)
    • +0.1 Wisdom per ritual learned (max 0.2 per month for learning)
  • You may earn +0.1 Wisdom for crafting Talens and Fetishes.
    • +0.1 Wisdom per batch of Talens made (max +0.2 per month for Talen crafting)
    • +0.1 Wisdom per Fetish made (max +0.2 per month for Fetish crafting)
  • These awards are open to Fera and Garou alike.

Ranking requirements

  • Aside from renown point requirements for a new rank, staff has further stat and activity requirements for rank.
    • Gaining rank isn't meant to be solely a means for more power and authority, it's a symbol of leadership and active duty to Gaia/Sea/Ananasa/etc.

Rank Charts and Requirements

How to gain Rank

  • Be a part of plots and stories, and do things that relate to entries on your appropriate charts below.
    • Storytellers: Make sure you submit a renown request for your players when your plot/scene is finished.
  • If you think you did something worth renown while you're existing on the grid, put in a +request for it.
    • Players: You're responsible for requesting your personal non-plot gained renown (such as monthly chores, pack related things, public relations, etc)
  • When you have the required amount of renown for your new rank, +request your readiness for a challenge.
  • Gaining Rank 2: Doing a rank-up challenge story is optional. If you don't want to do one, you can just do the +request paperwork to set your rank and be done.
  • Gaining Rank 3 or higher: Requires a rank-up challenge story, and meeting standards on your +sheet relevant to your Auspice/Aspect/etc. The higher the rank you're going for, the more chance of failure because the challenges are more difficult.
  • If you fail a challenge: It's no big deal, challenge again. A failure is not a reflection on either the player or the character, sometimes it's bad luck and sometimes it's a cue that things were missed. You still get an amazing story out of it, things to talk about, things to learn and try. So don't worry, don't get mad, even the W20 books say outright that these challenges are meant to be difficult and a lot of people do not succeed the first time.
