=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.
 
===Basic House Rules===
*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.
 
===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.

*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.

| '''Mixed Morph'''
| Performing a deed that affects all of your Breed
| 1 or 5
| Shifter
| Physical
| W20 Core, pg 472
| ''Synopsis:'' You find the art of partial transformation relatively easy.<br>
''System:'' Make the required Dexterity + Primal Urge roll at difficulty 6 rather than difficulty 9 (W20 Core, pg 286). The five-point version of this Merit eliminates the need for a Willpower point; you can achieve partial transformation almost at will.<br>
''Notes:'' <br>
|-
|-
| '''Wolf Sight'''
| Giving bad advice that harms the group
| 1
| Shifter
| Physical
| W20 Core, pg 472
| ''Synopsis:'' In all your forms, you see colors and intensities of light as a wolf does. Your color vision is slightly less distinct than that of humans, though you embrace the full spectrum of colors. Your night vision, however, far surpasses human nocturnal vision. You also notice movement more readily.<br>
''System:''  You gain an extra die to all visually-based Perception rolls that involve movement or take place at night.<br>
''Notes:'' <br>
|-
|-
| '''Bad Taste'''
| Taking the word of an outsider over that of one of your own
| 2
| Shifter
| Physical
| W20 Core, pg 472
| ''Synopsis:'' You are gamey to the palate and revolting to the taste buds; plainly put, you taste nasty.<br>
''System:'' Anyone who bites you (vampires, Garou, fomori, Wyrm monsters) is immediately nauseated. The biter must spend a Willpower point or retch uncontrollably for a scene. There is a drawback, however: lupus Garou and wolves are unlikely to lick or groom you, and even affectionate nibbles are affected by your foul flavor.<br>
''Notes:'' <br>
|-
|-
| '''Fair Glabro'''
| Harming the Veil
| 2
|}
| Shifter
 
| Physical
==Succor==
| W20 Core, pg 472
{| class="wikitable" width="100%"
| ''Synopsis:'' You have a Glabro form that can pass for human, though it’s still larger than normal people. <br>
''System:'' You have no penalties to Social Attributes in Glabro form.<br>
''Notes:'' <br>
|-
|-
| '''Lack of Scent'''
! Sample Behavior
| 2
| Shifter
| Physical
| W20 Core, pg 472
| ''Synopsis:'' You either have no scent at all or only a very faint odor.<br>
''System:'' Any humans, animals, or Garou who attempt to track you by scent have a +2 difficulty to do so. You may find it difficult to deal with lupus Garou or wolves, as they tend to mistrust your lack of a “natural” scent.<br>
''Notes:'' <br>
|-
|-
| '''Natural Weapons'''
| Healing another Changer unselfishly
| 3 or 4
| Shifter
| Physical
| W20 Core, pg 473
| ''Synopsis:'' You are greatly in tune with your wolf physique. Your balance and physical acuity in Lupus form are greater than in Homid form.<br>
''System:'' Subtract one from the difficulty of any attack roll with an innate natural weapon (e.g., claw, bite, kick, etc.) when in Lupus form. However, add one to the difficulty of any such attacks made while in Homid form. There is no change to your attack rolls in other forms. This Merit costs 3 points for lupus or metis characters, and 4 points for homid Garou.<br>
''Notes:'' <br>
|-
|-
| '''Huge Size'''
| Performing a Rite of Cleansing
| 4
| Shifter
| Physical
| W20 Core, pg 473<br>V20 Core, pg 480
| ''Synopsis:'' You stand close to 7’ tall and may weigh as much as 400 pounds in your Homid form; your other forms are also proportionately huge. <br>
''System:'' This Merit gives you an extra health level, which acts as an additional Bruised health level for purposes of calculating damage and wound penalties. Of course, with your immense size comes other problems (blending into a crowd, finding clothes that fit, fitting into an airplane seat, etc.).<br>
''Notes:'' <br>
|-
|-
| '''Metamorph'''
| Cleansing a major pollution site
| 7
| Shifter
| Physical
| W20 Core, pg 473
| ''Synopsis:'' Shapechanging for you is as easy as breathing.<br>
''System:'' You do not need to roll to change forms, nor is it necessary to spend a Rage point for an instantaneous shift. You make your changes as if you scored five successes on your roll to shift forms. If you lose consciousness from wounds or for some other reason, you may roll Wits + Primal Urge (difficulty 8) to choose which form you assume rather than reverting to breed form.<br>
''Notes:'' <br>
|-
|-
| '''Berserker'''
| Giving aid to another Changing Breed
| 2
| Shifter
| Mental
| W20 Core, pg 476
| ''Synopsis:'' You have uncanny control over your inner anger, and can use your Rage as most Garou cannot.<br>
''System:'' You can enter a berserk frenzy at will, ignoring your wound penalties. You still suffer the consequences of any actions committed in the throes of frenzy. When circumstances might cause you to frenzy, you must make a standard roll to see if you do so or not.<br>
''Notes:'' My love for you is ticking clock, berserker!<br>
|-
|-
| '''Seldom Sleeps'''
| Performing a Rite of Healing Winds
| 2
| Shifter
| Mental
| W20 Core, pg 476
| ''Synopsis:'' Whether due to a strong constitution, a frenetic nature, or even a hint of ancestral magic in your blood, you require significantly less sleep than the average Garou. While rest is still required after exertion, sleep is seldom necessary<br>
''System:''  One hour a night is fine, and even an hour every three days won’t make you more than a little bleary-eyed. You are not immune to sleep-causing supernatural effects, and you must still rest (no combat and no efforts requiring rolls) after using taxing rituals or Gifts. You are not always perky, bright-eyed, and bushy-tailed, but you suffer no penalties or ill effects from remaining awake for extended periods.<br>
''Notes:'' <br>
|-
|-
| '''Calm Heart'''
| Nurturing a helpless animal back to health
| 3
| Shifter
| Mental
| W20 Core, pg 476<br>V20 Core, pg 485
| ''Synopsis:'' You remain calm and collected even in the most trying of circumstances.<br>
''System:'' You receive two extra dice when attempting to resist frenzy.<br>
''Notes:'' Actual rule intention: +2 diff to resist frenzy. White Wolf's text makes no sense, more dice would actually make it easier to frenzy.<br>
|-
|-
| '''Untamable'''
| Performing a Rite of the Pure Land; Rite of the Freed Spirit
| 5
| Shifter
| Mental
| W20 Core, pg 476
| ''Synopsis:'' You are a wild soul who has never bent to the leash.<br>
''System:'' You are immune to vampiric Domination (but not emotional manipulations via Presence) and these Gifts will not work on you: Roll Over, Obedience, and Mastery.<br>
''Notes:'' <br>
|-
|-
| '''Family Support
| Reclaiming spoiled or corrupted land
| 1
|-
| Shifter
| Saving an animal of an endangered species, human life
| Social
| W20 Core, pg 479
| ''Synopsis:'' Your family knows what you are and accepts your new life wholeheartedly. Perhaps your parents are Kinfolk and have prepared themselves for the potential that you might be a full Garou. However they need not be actual Kin (of the sort purchased through the Kinfolk Background); they may not understand what you’ve become, but still believe you are “special” or “gifted.”<br>
''System:'' While you can’t assume they will risk themselves for you or your pack, you can rely on their moral support and understanding — and maybe a place to crash on occasion.<br>
''Notes:'' <br>
|-
|-
| '''Favor'''
| Nurturing an endangered species so that its population increases;  
| 1-3
| Shifter
| Social
| W20 Core, pg 479
| ''Synopsis:'' You have earned the favor of someone more powerful than yourself because of something you did in the past. Work out with your Storyteller who exactly owes you the favor — perhaps an elder of your sept, an influential member of your tribe, or even a powerful pack of Garou.<br>
''System:'' A 1-point Merit indicates that you provided a minor service; a 2-point Merit means that you have done something significant for them; a 3-point Merit probably means that you saved their life (or the life of someone important to them). You can ask for (and expect to receive) a similar level of favor in return. You can only call in this favor once; after that, your previous service holds no particular sway. While it stands, however, other Garou may know that someone important is indebted to you and react to you accordingly.<br>
''Notes:'' <br>
|-
|-
| '''Camp Goodwill'''
| Reclaiming a lost Glade
| 1
| Shifter
| Social
| W20 Core, pg 479
| ''Synopsis:'' You have earned the attention and favor of a particular Garou tribal camp (see pg. 491). Perhaps you’ve done them a favor, or maybe they’re trying to recruit you.<br>
''System:'' Regardless, all Social rolls when interacting with that camp are made at –1 difficulty. You may not be a member of this camp when you first take this Merit, although you can become recruited into the camp during play at the Storyteller’s discretion. You may take this Merit multiple times for different camps, and may take it for tribal camps other than your own tribe, each with the Storyteller’s approval.<br>
''Notes:'' <br>
|-
|-
| '''Animal Magnetism'''
| Losing a Glade to the Wyrm
| 2
| Shifter
| Social
| W20 Core, pg 480
| ''Synopsis:'' Others of your breed (humans if you’re homid, wolves if you’re lupus; metis should pick either humans or wolves, not Garou) find you especially attractive.<br>
''System:'' Your rolls to attract, persuade, charm, or seduce those individuals is at –2 difficulty. This effect does not apply to threatening or intimidating actions.<br>
''Notes:'' <br>
|-
|-
| '''Notable Heritage'''
| Failure to save an animal from pain; polluting
| 2
| Shifter
| Ssocial
| W20 Core, pg 480
| ''Synopsis:'' Your direct family line is particularly renowned, either in Garou society or in the human world. You must choose (with your Storyteller’s approval) which world your heritage relates to, and detail your family line accordingly.<br>
''System:'' You are at –1 difficulty to all Social rolls when working in the appropriate society (with Garou and Kinfolk who are aware of werewolf society, or when dealing with humans who are aware of your heritage). You are expected to live up to your lineage’s reputation. If you fail to do so, you may find the Merit dwindling over time as stories of your own failings begin to outweigh the high regard your family receives. This Merit may not be taken by Bone Gnawers.<br>
''Notes:'' <br>
|-
|-
| '''Reputation'''
| Failure to save a human’s life
| 2
| Shifter
| Social
| W20 Core, pg 480
| ''Synopsis:'' Your reputation among the Garou of your sept does you credit. You may have earned this good name independently, or through the actions of your pack.<br>
''System:'' When you deal with the Garou of your sept, you gain three extra dice to your Social dice pools. Reputation should not be confused with Renown; you may have a good “name” with your sept while possessing relatively little Renown. You may not take the Flaw: Notoriety.<br>
''Notes:'' <br>
|-
|-
| '''Noted Messenger'''
| Losing land to the forces of corruption and pollution
| 3
| Shifter
| Social
| W20 Core, pg 480
| ''Synopsis:'' Legends and Elders have used your services to deliver their important words. You may have even been called upon to carry messages of peace (or war) between the Nation and outside forces. <br>
''System:'' Because of your reputation as a reliable messenger, you can pass through other Garou territories without your presence causing offense, and you may be allowed into any sept (or other locale where your reputation is respected, such as spirit courts or Fera holdings) unchallenged, as long as you carry a message for someone residing there. However, you are expected to behave in accordance with your reputation; if you take offensive actions, act indiscreetly, or speak rudely while in the line of duty, it may affect how you are treated (and may cause the Storyteller to deem that you lose this Merit).<br>
''Notes:'' <br>
|-
|-
| '''Supernatural Companion'''
| Losing an endangered species to extinction on account of carelessness
| 3
|}
| Shifter
 
| Social
==Valor==
| W20 Core, pg 480
{| class="wikitable" width="100%"
| ''Synopsis:'' You have a friend or ally who happens to be a vampire, mage, wraith, changeling, or other non-werewolf supernatural creature.<br>
''System:'' Although you may call upon her in time of need, she also has the right to call upon you (after all, you are friends). This relationship, however, does not have the sanction of your kind or hers, and you’ll likely face scandal — or worse — if you are found out. Meeting places and methods of communication are always risky. The Storyteller creates and controls your companion, but does not reveal to you her full powers (or secret motivations).<br>
''Notes:'' <br>
|-
|-
| '''Ancestor Ally'''
! Sample Behavior
| 1
| Shifter
| Supernatural
| W20 Core, pg 482
| ''Synopsis:'' One of your ancestor spirits is particularly close to you.<br>
''System:'' You have –2 to your difficulty to contact this ancestor via your Ancestors Background. Flesh out your special ancestor with a name, personality characteristics, significant abilities or powers, details about her life, and her reputation among Garou. To purchase this Merit, you must have Ancestors as a Background.<br>
''Notes:'' <br>
|-
|-
| '''Moon Bound'''
| Participating in a just challenge
| 1
| Shifter
| Supernatural
| W20 Core, pg 482
| ''Synopsis:'' You are more in tune with your auspice than most Garou. <br>
''System:'' When Luna waxes in your auspice, you receive one extra die to each of your rolls. Correspondingly, when Luna wanes in your auspice, you receive one less die to every roll.<br>
''Notes:'' <br>
|-
|-
| '''Spirit Magnet'''
| Drawing first blood in combat
| 1
| Shifter
| Supernatural
| W20 Core, pg 482
| ''Synopsis:'' You naturally attract the attention of the spirits whenever you cross the Gauntlet into the Umbra. Most of the time, the Umbral inhabitants are simply curious, gathering around you to see who you are and what you’re doing in their “neck of the woods.” Occasionally you attract more than you bargained for — Banes are also likely to come calling.<br>
''System:'' None of the spirits who collect in your vicinity are under your command unless you use a Gift that allows you to command them or influence them in some way.<br>
''Notes:'' <br>
|-
|-
| '''Natural Channel'''
| Being truthful when facing adversity
| 3
| Shifter
| Supernatural
| W20 Core, pg 483
| ''Synopsis:'' You find crossing the Gauntlet easier than many of your fellow Garou. <br>
''System:'' The difficulty for stepping sideways is one less for you.<br>
''Notes:'' <br>
|-
|-
| '''True Love'''
| Participating in a hunt (event)  
| 4
| Shifter
| Supernatural
| W20 Core, pg 483
| ''Synopsis:'' You have a true love — a Kinfolk, human, wolf, or perhaps even another Garou. Simply the knowledge that this individual exists provides joy and strength to you even in the darkest hour. The Wyrm may be winning, the battle may be endless, but you know there is something beyond the esoteric to keep fighting for. When you are suffering, the thought of your true love gives you strength.<br>
''System:'' In game terms, this Merit allows you one automatic success on any Willpower roll, but only when you are actively striving to protect or come closer to your true love. Also, the power of your love may be strong enough to protect you from other supernatural forces (at the Storyteller’s discretion). However, having a true love may also be a hindrance, and they may require aid (or even rescue) from time to time. True Love between Garou (even if it is not acted upon) may be seen as near-enough to a breach of the Litany to cause scorn or even scandal if it is suspected by others, making it appropriate justification for a Dark Secret Flaw as well.<br>
''Notes:'' <br>
|-
|-
| '''Immune to Wyrm Emanations'''
| Mating and spawning children
| 6
| Shifter
| Supernatural
| W20 Core, pg 483
| ''Synopsis:'' Gaia has blessed you with a powerful resistance to the poisons of the Wyrm.<br>
''System:'' Although you still take damage from balefire, supernaturally-caused radiation, Wyrm elementals, or other forms of Wyrm toxins, you do not suffer any dice pool penalties from them. Banes cannot possess you.<br>
''Notes:'' <br>
|-
|-
| '''Silver Tolerance
| Surviving an incapacitating blow
| 7
| Shifter
| Supernatural
| W20 Core, pg 483
| ''Synopsis:'' You are blessed with an extremely unusual tolerance toward silver.<br>
''System:'' You may soak silver damage in any form at difficulty 8, although this does not change the type of damage that silver does.<br>
''Notes:'' <br>
|-
|-
| '''Constant Sending'''
| Exacting vengeance without seeking it
| 1
| Rokea
| Supernatural
| W20 Changing Breeds, pg 207
| ''Synopsis:'' The character’s Lorenzini’s ampullae remain in all forms, allowing him to use the Sending even in Homid form.<br>
''System:'' <br>
''Notes:'' <br>
|-
|-
| '''Manshape'''
| Destroying a Betweener, Evading destruction by ocean-dwellers
| 1
| Mokole
| Supernatural
| W20 Changing Breeds, pg 207
| ''Synopsis:'' The character’s Archid form is very humanoid — a callback to the Lizard Kings with a reptilian head, the size of a Crinos Garou.<br>
''System:''  The character must have the Archid characteristics: Bipedal and Grasping Hands to buy this Merit. Manshape allows the Mokolé in Archid form to pass as human in poor light, though anyone seeing the character’s scaly skin still suffers the Delirium.<br>
''Notes:'' <br>
|-
|-
| '''Double Draught'''
| Defeating agents of the Wyrm
| 2
| Corax
| Supernatural
| W20 Changing Breeds, pg 207
| ''Synopsis:'' Unlike most Corax, the character can drink from both of a dead man’s eyes, seeing the best and the worst of the corpse’s death.<br>
''System:'' <br>
''Notes:'' <br>
|-
|-
| '''Gauntlet Runner'''
| Defeating a very powerful Qyrling
| 2
| Ratkin
| Supernatural
| W20 Changing Breeds, pg 208
| ''Synopsis:'' The character is able to squeeze through the Gauntlet in the presence of any manner of company — even in front of a room full of human witnesses.<br>
''System:'' <br>
''Notes:'' <br>
|-
|-
| '''Good Looking'''
| Actively seeking vengeance
| 2
| Rokea
| Supernatural
| W20 Changing Breeds, pg 208
| ''Synopsis:'' Unlike most Rokea, who are rough-looking in homid form at best, the character looks completely human and may start with as high an Appearance score as the player desires. Homid Rokea do not need to purchase this Merit.<br>
''System:'' <br>
''Notes:'' <br>
|-
|-
| '''Umbral Affinity'''
| Lying when it is not needed
| 2-3
|}
| Nuwisha Umbral Danser
 
| Supernatural
==Harmony==
| W20 Changing Breeds, pg 208
{| class="wikitable" width="100%"
| ''Synopsis:'' The character has an uncommonly strong connection to the Umbra, treating the local Gauntlet as 2 points lower than its real value. For 3 points, the character need not stare into a reflection to step sideways.<br>
''System:'' <br>
''Notes:'' <br>
|-
|-
| '''Free of the Yava'''
! Sample Behavior
| 3, 4, or 5
| Ajaba<br>Bastet
| Supernatural
| W20 Changing Breeds, pg 208
| ''Synopsis:'' Perhaps the character was granted a special blessing by a powerful spirit; perhaps they are simply a strange prodigy of the world.<br>
''System:''  For whatever reason, the character does not suffer the restriction of one or more Yava: 3 points grants freedom from one Yava, 4 from two Yava, and 5 from all Yava.<br>
''Notes:'' <br>
|-
|-
| '''Early Maturation'''
| Destroying a minor threat to Sea, prevent minor pollution
| 3
| Gurahl
| Supernatural
| W20 Changing Breeds, pg 208
| ''Synopsis:'' For some reason the character emerged as an auspice other than Arcas. Perhaps her First Change came late in life, or her early years contained so much strife and upheaval that her change catapulted her directly into another auspice.<br>
''System:'' The character begins play as an Uzmati, Kojubat, Kieh, or a Rishi, and must choose her starting auspice Gift from Level One Gifts on that auspice’s Gift list.<br>
''Notes:'' <br>
|-
|-
| '''Venomous'''
| Destroying sizable threat to Sea (average, serious, extremely hard)
| 3
| Ananasi
| Supernatural
| W20 Changing Breeds, pg 208
| ''Synopsis:'' The Ananasi retains her venom sacs even when in homid form. <br>
''System:'' In homid, she may use any of her venom-based Gifts that are normally restricted to other forms.<br>
''Notes:'' <br>
|-
|-
| '''Sex Appeal'''
| Stopping reckless humans causing damage to Sea
| 4
| Ananasi<br>Bastet<br>Kitsune
| Supernatural
| W20 Changing Breeds, pg
| ''Synopsis:'' Whether it’s grace, charm, or pheromones, the character’s got it. Those attracted to the character’s gender like being around him and are eager to please him.<br>
''System:'' This grants a –2 difficulty reduction to all social rolls against such individuals.<br>
''Notes:'' <br>
|-
|-
| '''Swim Sideways'''
| Regulating size of a species to restore balance
| 4
| Rokea
| Supernatural
| W20 Changing Breeds, pg 208
| ''Synopsis:'' The wereshark has a natural connection to Sea’s Soul, and can swim there in much the same manner as a Garou steps sideways, without the requirement for a reflective object. <br>
''System:'' The Rokea can only use this talent in seas and oceans; weresharks who can also Step Sideways on land should look to that Merit instead.<br>
''Notes:'' <br>
|-
|-
| '''Feral Near-Man'''
| Stopping threat to Sea before it reaches the Ocean
| 5
| Ananasi<br>Corax<br>Mokole<br>Ratkin
| Supernatural
| W20 Changing Breeds, pg 208
| ''Synopsis:'' The character’s near-man form (Glabro, Anthros, Sokto, etc) is unusually savage in profile; perhaps this is a result of countless hours of shapeshifting refinement, or maybe the character was just born nasty.<br>
''System:'' Either way, the Changer’s near-human form sports wicked claws capable of inflicting aggravated damage.<br>
''Notes:'' <br>
|-
|-
| '''Gender Morph'''
| Repairing damage to coral reefs
| 6
| Ananasi
| Supernatural
| W20 Changing Breeds, pg 208
| ''Synopsis:'' The character can change their human sex at will, by breaking into the Crawlerling form and reforming as a human again.<br>
''System:'' This can come in handy when being chased; not only are pursuers unlikely to confuse a man for a woman, but the character’s scent even changes in order to throw off Garou and other keen-nosed hunters. Aside from the sex switch, this doesn’t grant a radical change in appearance — both sexes have similar features and look sufficiently alike to be siblings.<br>
''Notes:'' <br>
|-
|-
| '''Cat/Fox Magic'''
| Destroying major threats to Sea other than Individuals
| 7
|-
| Bastet<br>Kitsune
| Clearing oil spills
| Supernatural
| W20 Changing Breeds, pg 208
| ''Synopsis:'' In addition to the blessings of Luna and Gaia, the character has a rare aptitude for lesser human magic—she is capable of learning what mages call “hedge magic.”<br>
''System:'' The character can use this talent to mimic Gifts and rites from any Changing Breed, and can develop her own mystic rites given time and Storyteller approval. For a more in-depth treatment of hedge magic, see Sorcerer Revised.<br>
''Notes:'' <br>
|-
|-
| '''Step Sideways'''
| Ignoring pollution to sea
| 7
| Bastet<br>Gurahl<br>Mokole<br>Rokea
| Supernatural
| W20 Changing Breeds, pg 209
| ''Synopsis:'' Unlike normal members of her Breed, the character may step sideways in the manner of the Garou.<br>
''System:'' While almost all members of her Breed can access the Umbra through Gifts or Rites, the character has an inherent connection to the spirit world. Perhaps this is a particular blessing from a powerful spirit, or perhaps it is as much a mystery to her as it is to everyone else.<br>

| '''Feral appearance'''
| Serving your tribe faithfully monthly Sept Duties || Honor
| 1
| Kinfolk
| Physical
| W20 Core, pg 382
| ''Synopsis:'' Whether you're more rugged than average or have a lean, hungry look to your features, werewolves like what they see. It isn't a matter of physical beauty as human society judges it; there's just something about you that stirs werewolves' animal natures.<br>
''System:'' You get an extra die on all rolls involving Appearance when dealing with Garou.<br>
''Notes:'' <br>
|-
|-
| '''Wolf-Sense'''
| Maintaining Relations with other Kin that benefit Sept || Wisdom
| 1
| Kinfolk
| Mental
| W20 Core, pg 382
| ''Synopsis:'' This Merit is a blend of folk wisdom, practical sense, and animal instinct.<br>
''System:'' If you have Wolf-sense and make a successful Wits roll, the Storyteller can opt to give you advice on whether you’re about to do something foolish in the eyes of wolf or Garou culture. It doesn’t mean she’ll tell you what you should or shouldn’t do, but at least you’ll have some warning. <br>
''Notes:'' <br>
|-
|-
| '''Gall'''
| Bearing Shifter Offspring (After Born) || Honor, Wisdom
| 2
| Kinfolk
| Mental
| W20 Core, pg 382
| ''Synopsis:'' Audacity, guts, pluck — whatever it’s called, you’ve got it. You aren’t afraid to stand up to anyone, from hoodlums to tribal leaders. This isn’t brash, foolhardy behavior, and you’re not necessarily rude or impolite. You simply don’t get the shakes when the Silver Fang Ahroun comes over to speak to you. Many werewolves and Kin respect you for your honesty and forthrightness.<br>
''System:'' Add an extra die to any Social roll involving a display of backbone.<br>
''Notes:'' <br>
|-
|-
| '''Recognize Garou'''
| Answering a request for sage advice || Wisdom
| 3
| Kinfolk
| Mental
| W20 Core, pg 382
| ''Synopsis:'' Over the years, you’ve become adept at picking out the werewolves in a crowd. It’s not mystical awareness; you’ve simply learned what physical and personality traits tend to mark Gaia’s warriors once they’ve undergone the Change. <br>
''System:'' All Perception attempts to figure out if someone is a werewolf are made at –2 difficulty.<br>
''Notes:'' <br>
|-
|-
| '''Good Old Boy (or Girl)'''
| Protecting Shifter not of your tribe || Honor
| 2
| Kinfolk
| Social
| W20 Core, pg 382
| ''Synopsis:'' You’re an intrinsically nice person, and you genuinely care about your fellows. Werewolves and other Kin (both human and wolf) tend to like you and confide in you. Even lupus Garou may approach you in a friendly manner; something about you just seems trustworthy and inviting. <br>
''System:'' Take an extra die on all Social rolls involving interaction with Garou or Kinfolk.<br>
''Notes:'' <br>
|-
|-
| '''Fetish'''
| Rudeness || Honor, Wisdom (Negative)
| 5-7
| Kinfolk
| Supernatural
| W20 Core, pg 383
| ''Synopsis:'' You own a fetish. You may have inherited this item, received it as a gift, or found it on your own.<br>
''System:'' You and your Storyteller should work together on constructing the item and establishing how it came into your possession. Five points equals a Level One fetish, six points a Level Two fetish, and seven points a Level Three fetish. If you do not have the Gnosis Merit, you may not be able to attune the Fetish to yourself or use it.<br>
''Notes:'' <br>
|-
|-
| '''Gnosis'''
| Speaking Badly of Garou/Shifters of Sept || Wisdom
| 5-7
| Kinfolk
| Supernatural
| W20 Core, pg 383
| ''Synopsis:'' More than any other blessing, the possession of Gnosis among Kin is a special mark of Gaia’s favor. It’s extremely rare for mortals to be so gifted. Having Gnosis grants many privileges, such as the ability to learn a broader range of Gifts, use fetishes, and — if Embraced by a vampire — the chance to die with dignity and honor, rather than suffer unlife.<br>
''System:'' Kinfolk lucky enough to possess Gnosis recover it in the same manner as Garou. Five points spent on the Merit grants one point of Gnosis; six points, two points of Gnosis; and seven points, three points of Gnosis.<br>
''Notes:'' <br>
|-
|-
| '''Supernatural Kinfolk'''
| Acting without Honor || Honor (Negative)
| 4-5
| Kinfolk
| Supernatural
| W20 Kinfolk, pg 64
| ''Synopsis:'' This Merit is not intended for mortal Kinfolk. If, however, you intend to play a vampire, mage, wraith, or changeling character who is also Kinfolk, you must purchase this Merit. Despite your supernatural status, your Garou tribe (or other Changing Breed) accepts you as Kin. They may not rejoice in it, but they don’t automatically deny or reject you. Individuals outside your family, including other Garou, may not like you. Other tribes may not acknowledge you as Kin. Most Garou view mages as Gnosis-raiders. They see vampires as Wyrm-spawn, wraiths as un-natural, and changelings as untrustworthy. In fact, you may experience a conflict of interest in walking a fine line between your two supernatural worlds. You find, nevertheless, that there is merit in knowing about both your supernatural and your Kinfolk backgrounds.<br>
''System:'' Supernatural Kinfolk costs four points for mages, changelings, and wraiths. Vampire Kinfolk costs 5 points due to the inherent hostility between Garou and Kindred. Sometimes even family ties are hard-pressed to bridge the gap between the two gestalts. Kinfolk characters created with the standard rule (i.e., those who are not either dead, Awakened, Embraced, or Kithain), may not have this Merit. It is reserved exclusively for characters constructed as wraiths, vampires, mages or changelings based upon the rules for those games.<br>

=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.<br>
**'''Storytellers:''' Make sure you submit a renown request for your players when your plot/scene is finished.<br>
*If you think you did something worth renown while you're existing on the grid, put in a +request for it.<br>
**'''Players:''' You're responsible for requesting your personal non-plot gained renown (such as monthly chores, pack related things, public relations, etc)<br>
*When you have the required amount of renown for your new rank, +request your readiness for a challenge.<br>


</div>
*'''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>
*'''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>
*'''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.

| V20 Anarchs Unbound, pg 102
| ''Synopsis:'' You belong to an Anarch gang with a violent, effective, or otherwise impressive reputation. The history of the gang might extend a hundred years before you were born, but so long as you hold membership and wear the colors of your crew, other Anarchs naturally tend to respect you. Some may even occasionally perform minor tasks for you to try to curry favor with the others.<br>
''System:'' When your membership is known, reduce the difficulty of all Manipulation rolls with other Anarchs by 2 unless a given Anarch has a historical animosity with your gang.<br>

Of course, the Sugar Daddy may expect similar treatment in kind, and is unlikely to look favorably on any behavior that impugns whatever status he may have.<br>

| ''Synopsis:'' You have flashes of insight that allow you to see patterns and portents of the Jyhad. Whilst other Kindred live their unlives in ignorant bliss, you feel the full weight of the Ancients bear down on you.<br>
==Corax==
''System:'' You see patterns in the lines of someone’s face, currents of air, or dreams you have during the day. Whilst these patterns are ever present, they are couched in symbolism, and interpreting them requires a [Perception + Occult] roll. The difficulty of this roll varies from six to nine, depending on the complexity of the pattern. Seeing the immediate future is difficulty 7, whilst unraveling diffuse manipulations is difficulty 9. Close familiarity with the people involved, or a recurrence of the same pattern, lowers the difficulty by one. If the roll is successful, the blood matures the player asks the Storyteller a question about the omens observed. More successes yield more information (i.e. “That man is your enemy” versus “That man is your enemy, because he hates your sire”). Failure yields no information, while a botch yields perfectly believable yet false information.

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.

I shall be calm,
I shall be prudent,
I shall be merciful,
I shall think before I act and listen before I think.
